9th July 2010: EGL Solar system for Oil&Gas

Solar for TowngasEGL Energy's solar power system was recently deployed on an off-shore facility owned by Hong Kong's leading utility company Towngas. The platform has no power and no wired telecommunication available and lacked the regulatory required security surveillance for many years.

Solar power is used to supply self-sustainable electricity for a wireless security surveillance system. The surveillance system provided by Jupiter Networks uses 3.5G HSPA to transmit video IP packets over the mobile network and internet. The user is then able to view and record platform activities from their office on land.

The joint effort combined years of expertise from both companies applying technologies in renewable energy, CCTV surveillance and wireless telecommunication.

2nd January 2010: EGL wind turbines in MOS Promenade

MOS wind turbineHong Kong ASD project at the Ma On Shan Promenade was recently completed and area officially opened to public on 1st January 2010.

EGL HT-400 wind turbines are used to provide clean and self-sufficient power to LED ground and wall lights that illuminate icons at the view points. There are a total of 3 view points along the stretch.

The project renovates a 2.5 km stretch of paveway and bicycle trail along the Tolo Harbour, designed on the modern-day living environment theme of "Water" and "Wind".

Apart from the practical use of wind energy for public lighting, EGL Energy's wind system also serves as an educational tool for public on clean energy. The wind turbines are now icons in this modern housing estate.

24th December 2009: Christmas message

Xmas 2009

Thank you for your support in 2009.

The year comes to an end with nothing more dramatic than the turbulence at Copenhagen and the failure for world leaders to come up with an agreement that will protect the earth's atmosphere from devastating climate change.

Some accused China, Sudan, Bolivia and other leftwing Latin American countries of trying to "hold the world to ransom" to prevent a deal being reached. Others blamed Obama with embarrassingly low targets and the heavy carbon emitters of the world took their cue from him. The "deal" that was ultimately rammed through was nothing more than a grubby pact between the world's biggest emitters: 'I'll pretend that you are doing something about climate change if you pretend that I am too. Deal? Deal!'

It is worth noting that while we can negotiate with each other about climate change and what to do, or not do about it, we cannot negotiate with the climate itself. In the last decade of climate research, the rate of global warming has consistently matched or outpaced the "worst-case" projections produced by leading climate models. And yet no matter how many studies are published revealing alarming new data, public opinion on the matter seems still to be determined by politics instead of physics.

A recent late-night TV show in the US joked, "according to a new U.N. report, the global warming outlook is much worse than originally predicted. Which is pretty bad when they originally predicted it would destroy the planet." It’s possible that human beings will simply never be able to figure out how to bring global warming under control — that having been warned about the greatest danger we ever faced, we simply won't take significant action to prevent it.

We at EGL Energy continue this uphill battle for a better future. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy reNewable Year.
