GreenFire Energy & PT Medco Power Indonesia sign MoU
GreenFire Energy Inc . and PT Medco Power Indonesia have signed a memorandum of understanding ( MoU ) to cooperate on future geothermal projects to achieve the Indonesian Government ’ s Net Zero Emissions by 2060 . GreenFire Energy will provide its GreenFire ’ s GreenLoop™ technology ( GreenLoop ) and business model to accelerate geothermal projects . PT Medco Power Indonesia will provide geothermal project opportunities , geothermal exploration services , and drilling services . PT Medco Power Indonesia , one of the leading Independent Power Producers and a subsidiary of PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk , owns and operates power plants with a gross capacity of over 3.1 GW in 15 locations in Indonesia . The company is focused on implementing |

|
Indonesia ’ s energy transformation policy and actively promoting geothermal power generation in Indonesia with its rich exploration and drilling experience . Currently , PT Medco Power Indonesia is developing the Ijen Geothermal project in East Java and PV plant projects in West and East Bali . GreenFire Energy has developed a versatile , closed-loop Advanced Geothermal System ( AGS ) called GreenLoop . GreenLoop can economically access the entire spectrum of geothermal and certain oil and gas resources that conventional geothermal technology cannot . The technology enables new and existing operators and developers to retrofit idle wells , expand existing fields with new wells , and de-risk the development of new geothermal resources quickly and economically . GreenLoop |

|
can be precisely tailored for optimal power generation and techno-economic feasibility . GreenFire Energy is represented by PT Armada Energi Solusi in Indonesia . President Director of PT Medco Power Indonesia , Eka Satria said , “ As a leading clean and renewable |
|
energy company in Indonesia , the signing of this MOU supports our climate change strategy to expand our renewable portfolio and achieve Net Zero Emissions for Scope 1 , Scope 2 by 2050 and Scope 3 in 2060 , in line with the government ’ s energy transition program .” |
ERII to supply PX Pressure Exchanger for desalination project
Energy Recovery ( ERII ), a company that specializes in commercial and industrial fluid-flow markets , has secured contracts worth nearly USD 17M to supply PX ® Pressure Exchanger ® energy recovery devices for desalination facilities in the Gulf region . These contracts include a municipal desalination facility set to produce over 132 million gallons per day to a region facing severe water scarcity . These facilities represent a significant advancement in tackling the area ’ s critical water challenges and strengthening sustainable water security . Anticipated to be completed by Q4 2023 , these facilities cater to both municipal and industrial needs , promising to make a substantial positive impact on the region ’ s water resources and affordability , while preventing over 400,000 metric tons of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere each year . Energy Recovery creates technologies that solve complex challenges for commercial and industrial fluid-flow markets worldwide , reducing energy consumption by up to 60 %.
Vårgrønn and Energia Group announce partnership
Offshore wind company Vårgrønn , a joint venture between Plenitude ( Eni ) and HitecVision , and the Irish renewable-focused integrated utility Energia Group , announce a partnership to co-develop offshore wind projects in Ireland with the potential to deliver total capacity of up to 1.8 GW by 2030 . The partnership will initially focus on the development of two sites , located in the Northern Celtic Sea and the Southern Irish Sea respectively , with a capacity of up to 900 MW each , that will allow Plenitude , through Vårgrønn , to expand its activities into the Irish offshore wind market . Plenitude is Eni ’ s Benefit Corporation ( Società Benefit ) integrating production from renewables , the sale of energy services , and a large network of electric vehicle charging points . The company ’ s objective is to reach over 7 GW installed capacity by 2026 and achieve net zero Scope 1 , 2 , and 3 CO2 emissions by 2040 .
Johnson Controls wins a mega HVAC-CHP project
YORK ® owned by Johnson Controls , has been at the forefront of progress and development in absorption technology serving global markets since 1960 . With more than 80 patents recognizing the innovative engineering , YORK ® Absorption chiller / heat pump goes further by combining decades of proven reliability with the design flexibility of multiple driving heat sources to deliver a truly reliable , more efficient , more resilient solution for more flexible applications with some unique features such as patented 2 step evaporator / absorber and parallel solution cycle for double effect design . The combination of 2-step E / A technology with double effect parallel flow cycle is accomplished with simple construction and the end result is greater application flexibility , plus an optimum balance between reliability and efficiency , which make these advanced absorption chiller / heat pump designs more attractive and more applicable than ever before . CHP ( Combined Heat and Power Supply ) is an energy efficient technology that generates electricity and captures the heat that would otherwise be wasted to provide useful thermal energy — such as steam or hot water — that can be used for space heating , cooling , domestic hot water , and industrial refrigeration processes . Bangladesh has been facing a severe shortage of electricity for decades and the CHP system has become a major practice in Bangladesh where almost every factory , hotel , hospital , and / or commercial center has its own CHP system with a gas engine , HRSG ( heat recovery steam generator ) and absorption unit to meet the requirements in terms of electricity , cold and heat supply .
