Need Effective Business Partners?

Need Effective Business Partners?

Each week, I hear from a dozen or so 2GreenEnergy readers, asking for help in forwarding a business concept in sustainability.  One of the areas of need I come across frequently is the requirement to develop effective business partners. Someone has a great idea, a breakthrough technology, a revolutionary business concept – but needs an introduction to a strong, well-established group such that together, they can take the idea forward to the global marketplace.

If that describes your current situation, I urge you to go to our marketing-specific website here, and review each of the five short videos that our clients at Hewlett-Packard, Unisys, Computer Sciences Corporation, Olicom, and Litton have made on our behalf.  Each of these five vignettes testifies to the results we nailed down for them generally. But in many cases, behind the scenes lay hidden business partnerships we recommended they develop —  and actively helped them develop: partnerships with distributors, value-added resellers, content providers, software applications providers, etc.

If you suspect that a partnership with a powerful business interest may help your cause, I hope you’ll let us know. We can help.

We offer simple solutions that can reduce power use in a commerical Building 25% – 30% with solutions that can pay for themselves from the savings obtained over 2-4 years, depending on the application. We offer lighting solutions, diming controls and Energy Monitoring solutions. We have relationships with China manufacutring partners. Our products are American Engineered and China manufacutred. UL approved products that we have the USA marketing rights to these products. We also have products that we have patents on.

    We are looking for funding partners to assist in helping to future establish this program.

  2. One of the clearest applications of renewable energy is to power desalination. Fresh water is becoming a more and more scarce resource in the world, particularly in developing countries. On the other hand, there are abundant local RE resources (mainly wind and solar energies), which can be converted into heat and / or electricity to supply desalination units. But…
    How to do it?, Which are the pros and cons?, Who are the stakeholders? This and much more in http://www.prodes-project.org
    (ProDes is a project co-financed by the Intelligent Energy for Europe Programme (contract number IEE/07/781/SI2.499059) ).

    I would appreciate very much having partners join with me in forming a competent team for advancing my firm. As an inventor of new concept energy technology I’m probably the least qualified to stand aside and veiw “my baby” objectively and this has likely been the reason my company is not already doing very well in alternative energy. See a photo of one of my prototypes at http://aaecorp.com/ceo.html and contact me at LBlevins@aaecorp.com.

  4. My company is Solasmar Developments, Inc., is a green technology company that specializes in solar energy/photovoltaics, energy-efficient green technology, sustainability and automated technology. We focus on the use and application of these technologies to residential, commercial, industrial and mixed-use projects. We help our customers convert to alternative energy sources, reduce their utility cost by 35% or more, reduce their carbon footprint and to help them live green Eco-friendly lifestyles at home and work. We are looking for investor partners to grow our business and develope projects using “Green Building Technology” our niche. Visit us at: http://www.solasmar.com to see our technologies.

    Dear Balu.

    Most of the people who are here are like eachother , All of us have great ideas which can be make world a better place, but I don’t know why nobody hear our voices.

    We are launching a new Sustainability adult degree completion program at Antioch University Midwest, in Yellow Springs, Ohio. For more information, see the following site: http://midwest.antioch.edu/us/majors/sustainability/index.html

  11.  Am a Singaporean and used to run a small solar PV integration company in Singapore
     Have invented and designed a switching device to operate an AC electrical load (Example: Public lighting)
     Based on the total ambient light at a desired location (Example: Road surface)
     To achieve as much as 5% to 8% lighting electrical energy saving per annum and the associated Carbon Credit
     Have filed for patent in Singapore and the same is pending, Singapore Patent Application No: 200716576-4 dated 2 Oct 2007

     The same device can also used for the following applications:
    • Public spaces like parks and gardens – Ambient luminance dictated – Singapore Example – Bishan Park
    • Large or Remote Farm Animal Feed system – Ambient luminance dictated (In USA, Australia and Argentina)
    • Building common area lighting – Ambient luminance dictated – Singapore Example – HDB blocks
    • Security lighting (ambient light based or remote manual initiated or intruder detection initiated) – Singapore Example – Airports
    • The Device can accept a DC signal (similar to PV output proportional to luminance) representing any measured variable {Examples: Liquid level for bilge control, Gas concentration for confined space exhaust system control (or) as a simple large AC power switching device}
     Features of this device:
    • Battery-less, when used with photovoltaic panel for measuring total ambient luminance – Self powering
    • Switching threshold is field settable – no prior calibration required
    • All solid state
    • On Off dead-band is variable at the factory
    • Unaffected by the seasonal variations in sun set and sun rise timings
    • Variable (light, gas concentration, etc.,) measured location can be different from AC load (Public lighting, Exhaust fan, etc.,)
    • Can be used for switching Single phase or Three phase loads
    • Load Switching near or at “Zero” voltage for least arcing
    • Not part of the load circuit
    • Load power supply failure does not affect the device’s operation or status
    • Zero maintenance and < 1 year pay-back
     Attached sample presentation, to illustrate one such application (Public Street Lighting)

     What I am, wanting to do,

    • To take my invention to next level i.e., commercial product version
    • Field test in Singapore with LTA, HDB, URA, etc., and establish "Singapore" Brand
    • Exploit its worldwide commercial potential, especially in developed countries like USA, Europe, etc.,

  13. AFFORDABLE HIGHWAY CAPABLE ELECTRIC VEHICLES WITH UNLIMITED RANGE OF OPERATION…will they ever become a reality?

    Scientists, visionaries and engineers have worked hard for centuries without any feasible result and green vehicles remain a luxury working people can’t afford.

    There is, however, a project of six basic concepts that if materialized will produce such vehicles in many segments, using off-the-shelf technologies and without having to resort to rare earth elements such as Lithium, Cobalt, etc.

    It will also help to promote energy independence to this country plus give a good shot in the arm of our struggling economy by creating thousands of outsource-proof jobs.

    It will surely be a costly and lengthy one, but that’s how we have won world wars, put a man on the moon and managed to become the world’s economy leader.

    The motto of the project: “The secrets of a successful project for a carbon-free land transportation system dwell in the stationary infrastructure rather than in the sophistication of onboard energy storage devices.” Making a battery to compete with a gallon of gas will lead us to nowhere

    Here is a sneak preview of the Pat. Pend. “Concept 2” automobile, which detailed specifications plus of its novel infrastructure could be checked at http://www.ev-motion.com

      They already have electric vehicles that are doing 120 to 140 MPH in Europe. Sporty looking. Price Tag $250,000 Euros. So the answer is yes. Solar filling stations are the wave of the future.

        Our plan is to organise training and education sessions on green energy concept in between the related sectors’ technical stuff and in universities in Turkey since there is no real training or no educational activity for technical or administrative stuff in Turkey. People hear many words, read articles or watch many different movies and videos everyday everywhere. We live a “dirty information” period. Trainers and lecturers will be chosen from related US or EU based countries’ companies or universities. The duration of the project will be 2 years long or more.

        We are looking for funding partners to assist in helping to future establish this program or advise us a real funding body or a partner to supply all this project.
