Awareness low of South Africa’s ‘astounding’ renewables success, US survey finds

12/1/2016

Amid domestic uncertainty about the future of South Africa’s renewable-energy procurement programme, a US State Department official has described the initiative as “astoundingly successful” and reports that several countries are currently seeking to draw lessons from the country’s reverse-auction model.
In fact, the department’s international information programs director of public engagement David Shelby tells Engineering News Online that he has been surprised by the low levels of public awareness in South Africa about the success of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPPP), which has facilitated nearly R200-billion of investment since 2011.

FROM : "Triton" Ocean Energy Technolohies

Athens Greece, December, 02 2016

Subject: Innovative Converter of the Ocean/Sea Wave Energy into zero carbon emission electrical energy.

Dear Sirs,

I am the inventor and patent holder of "Triton" Converter.

This is a short report introducing the subject Converter. It is a simple on-shore - durable - safe and cost effective converter, named “Triton” the son of Poseidon.

No single solution can meet the future energy needs. The transition to a zero carbon world will transform our whole economy. It will change our industrial landscape, the supply chains of our businesses and the way we all live and work.

Innovation - as you know better, is the key to develope technologies that will underpin this transition and make it affordable and accessible.

I am looking for courageous and visionary Investors, Entrepreneurs and Manufacturers, to offer my exclusive rights for deployment of the converter worldwide. It is an ambitious project worldwide and a Headquarters is needed to control a worldwide program.

The innovation of the technology is attested by the 20 Patents awarded from 20 countries: South Africa, USA, Canada, Chile, Israel, S. Korea, Japan, Australia and all coastal European countries, including, Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, and Turkey. Two additional patents are pending from Brazil and India. Patent numbers are available.

"Triton" is a unique and innovative Converter of ocean Wave Energy to electric power. Resembling to internal combustion engines with cylinders and pistons is using as energy force sea water.

The advantages of the converter.

- “Triton” is applicable and competitive solution for the big global problems, of climate change and scarcity of clean water for agricultural use and fire fighting in dry coastal areas in all Continents.

- Excess electricity can power adjacent reverse osmosis desalination plants.

- The reflection of the wave on the breakwater increases (almost double) the incident water power. (Report of the European Test Program is available).

- It is applicable also to all off- shore wind pylons.

- It can be manufactured to fit any need or preference.

- The design used is simple and uncomplicated, enabling it to easily mass produced.

- Can be assembled in the facilities of any factory at any location, as it is portable, easy to install and has low maintenance costs.

- Low cost electricity (700.000 ΜW) and can be reduced with the mass production.

- Cheap and zero emission energy, to energize electric batteries and/or production of hydrogen for surface transportation, are additional options.

- Connection with the grid is direct and does not require underwater pipes, cables and anchors.

- No impacts on navigation, fisheries and coastal tourism.

In conclusion, “Triton” is a competitive energy product, ready for immediate introduction to a vast and waiting global market.

If you are interest I can offer my exclusive rights for deployment everywhere.

Thank you for the opportunity to make my proposal.

Your response will be appreciated.
