Who is JenaBatteries?

JenaBatteries GmbH is an innovative company in the field of large scale energy storage solutions. JB develops, produce  safe and scalable organic-redox-flow-battery systems.

JB is serving the market with systems starting at a capacity of 40 kWh up to 10 MWh+ through an expanding network of qualified licensed partners. The first deliveries in Latin America will start 2019.

The award-winning organic redox-flow-batteries don't use heavy metals or dangerous acids. The battery is non-burnable and non-explosive. Our energy storage technology is based on water, salt and polymers only. Our products contribute to a sustainable energy transition and the efficient usage of renewable energy. Our batteries are safe and easy to use. Redox flow batteries have been around for a while, but so far no one has succeeded in constructing a battery without lithium, vanadium or other toxic heavy metals. The University of Jena was the first to do this and patented the process. How does it work?

Who is DGNB?

The German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB – Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen e.V.) was founded in 2007 by 16 initiators from various subject areas within the construction and real-estate sectors. The aim was to promote sustainable and economically efficient building even more strongly in future.

The reaction to the founding of the DGNB was extremely positive. By the beginning of 2008 121 organizations had already joined the DGNB. Today the association has more than 1,200 members throughout the entire world, because we see ourselves as a German and international knowledge platform. The members represent the entire value chain of the construction and real-estate sectors: architects, planners, the construction industry, investors and scientists bring their comprehensive know-how into the DGNB.

How do AMECs and DGNB work together?

AMECs and DGNB will be partnering temporarily in March, 2016 to create a training program in Costa Rica on sustainable construction. As a DGNB International Partner, we ensure that all sustainable construction training is taught to meet the high DGNB standards. Contact us for more details on this and other exciting training opportunities.

How do AMECs and SUNfarming work together?

AMECs brings the newest technology to Latin America. With this new salt water based storage technology, without Lithium or Lead, acids or poison materials, AMECs pursues the company philosophy of bringing only environmentally friendly and latest technologies to the market. What to do with excess electricity from the photovoltaic system? This question makes BlueSky a specialist for stationary power storage solutions. Electricity produced during the day by solar cells on the roof is available in the evening. Well-being in the living or working building:

Safe and sustainable, that is important to us, so that you and your loved ones find a comfortable environment. Easy to use and easy to install. Your installer or energy craftsman connects the Plug & Play system. You can directly track your energy storage by using the app. Science and practical experience can be combined in a useful way. Through close cooperation with universities and research institutions, the latest findings are incorporated into our work.

Who is SUNfarming?

SUNfarming specializes in investment controlling and project development for capital investors and the realization and active support of PV projects for commercial and privately owned electricity systems. SUNfarming has developed over 400 MW of power in over 1100  PV projects. From project development through contract / financial consulting, installation to monitoring, SUNfarming is a one-stop shop for clean energy development.

How do AMECs and SUNfarming work together?

SUNfarming and AMECs cooperate with each other to develop projects in Costa Rica and Central America. Our focus is on the new concept of producing energy and food, by providing education and creating jobs. Earthquake  and flood-resistant greenhouses with PV roofs allow the planting of high-quality plants for human consumption. The hydro-culture and traditional irrigation systems can be utilized. Drip irrigation reduces water consumption by 90%. Membrane technology also allows contaminated water or seawater to be used for irrigation. Large solar fields, between 5 and 40 MW, are designed in such a way that smaller fruits are grown in the interstices, which provide protection from the sun, hail, insects and herbivores with nets. Each center has a training center. Thus, high-quality food is produced and knowledge is conveyed at the same time. This creates jobs and also increases the possibility to export. All municipalities can thus be supplied with electricity while at the same time training future farmers.

AEPVI is our new partner whose services we will offer in Latin America from 2018 onwards. The company from Aachen offers in contrast to competitors an ultra-fast electro-luminescence inspection of large PV systems. So up to 1000 modules can be photographed in one hour. This is evident in a significant price reduction. Where previously modules had to be dismantled in order to test them in the laboratory, today the areas are overflown with drones or run over with booms or sleds, photographed and evaluated. Such inspections cost only 10% compared to other providers. In addition, the usual photography with thermal imaging cameras are replaced by photos that are more like an X-ray. Every small fraction of a cell can be visually recognized. Also defective diodes or incorrectly connected strings.

Who is BZEE?

BZEE, the pioneer of wind energy training in Germany, was born out of an industry initiative in 2000 to close the skills gap between industry and Learning Service Providers (LSP). The international BZEE standard is based on Real Turbine Learning and is currently implemented in 29 locations on 5 continents and is continually growing. To date more than 3,000 highly-qualified service technicians worldwide have been trained to the BZEE standard.

How do AMECs and BZEE work together?

BZEE and AMECs are working together to create a regional wind power training center for technicians in Central America, from Mexico to Panama. We are also in the process of bringing other important partners on board for this project: INA and INVENIO University Costa Rica. This endeavor will require an investment in a training center that will include a training tower, generators for practical training and all units required for the certification of this center. A training center such as this will save man power by providing highly qualified staff in each country or each windpark.

Who is AHK?

At 130 locations in 90 countries around the world, the members of the German Chamber Network (AHKs) offer their experience, connections and services to German and foreign companies. AHKs are located in all countries which are of special interest for German companies. 

AHKs are closely connected to the Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHKs) in Germany. Together, they support German companies with building up and and extending their business relations to foreign countries. The Umbrella organization of the IHKs is the German Association of Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) which also coordinates and supports the AHKs. Furthermore, the cooperation with various German trade associations strengthens the link of AHKs to business and markets.

How do AMECs and AHK work together?

As a member of the chamber, AMECs works with other AHK members to find opportunities for German and Costa Rican businesses and entities to partner for win-win solutions to all stakeholders, while promoting the development needs of Costa Rica.

Who is Janisch & Schulz?

Their projects are located worldwide.

How do AMECs and Janisch & Schultz work together?

Janisch & Schulz and AMEC cooperate to implement natural systems for wastewater treatment  in Costa Rica. Behind every project is the conviction that constructed wetlands can be an essential building block to resolve the problems of pollution. The target groups are tourist settlement projects, resorts and hotels, and industrial production facilities (abattoirs, dairies, cheese factories, tanneries, etc.). Also, municipal infrastructure projects will be optimized sustainably  through functional, decentralized treatment systems.
