The Swiss-headquartered clean energy provider The meeco Group is currently developing intelligent trybrid solar mini-grids for several Safari Camps in Kenya. As African remote hotels and lodges often depend on cost-extensive diesel generators, solar installations in combination with energy storage systems represent an economically viable and eco-friendly solution to establish a reliable and sustainable power supply. For Cottar's Camp in Kenya, meeco has now deployed an additional clean energy solution: the recently launched sun2move. The sun2move model comprises electric mountain bikes powered by green energy. The sun2charge charging stations of the e-bikes are equipped with meeco's solar generation and energy management solution sun2safe. The batteries of the bikes are charged with solar power in a so-called bikeport, where the produced energy is stored in batteries and is available anytime to recharge the sun2move e-bikes. This clean energy solution thereby combines the advantages of solar energy and electric mobility, representing a contribution towards an eco-friendly and healthy mobility. As a pilot project, six sun2move e-bikes have been deployed for Cottar's Camp in Kenya. Guests of the Safari camp can as of now explore the African wilderness in the Olderkesi Conservancy during an e-bike ride powered by clean energy. "We are glad about the rewarding cooperation with Cottar's Camp and the possibility to establish green Safari tours with our sun2move electric bikes", states Sebastian Bovensiepen, COO of The meeco Group. During their rides, guests of the camp are always accompanied by two local guides, who are familiar with the nature of the Conservancy.
Asian markets have renewable energy edge Washington (UPI) May 8, 2018 Though more workers globally are on the payroll in the renewable energy sector, the industry is concentrated in Asia, an annual report found. The International Renewable Energy Agency estimates that 60 percent of all renewable energy jobs are in the Asian economies. For the solar panel industry, China has about 60 percent of the payrolls, representing about 2.2 million employees. China also accounts for 44 percent of the payrolls in the wind energy industry. Beijing and the city of Zhang ... read more
