1 Global CSP off grid renewable energy desalination - air-condition - hot -water For remote communities and Islands Energy is a key issue for sustainable development. In island and remote communities, where grid extension is difficult and fuel transportation and logistics are challenging and costly, renewable energy is emerging as the energy supply solution for the 21st century, ensuring reliable and secure energy supply in such communities. The deployment of renewable energy technologies is increasing globally, supported by rapidly declining prices, Global CSP understand these challenges and can provide a one stop cost-effective solution for communities and the developing world countries

2 Global CSP A one stop solution we are a company committed to helping combat the effects of climate change Using our enclosed parabolic trough solar captors (sealed and totally weather proofed) with aperture sizes ranging from 1 metre (for roof installation) to 4 metres (ground based), we can generate power of up to 5MW per hour with these smaller ORC units. Our captors will provide hot water to any temperature or steam & superheated if required. All our power packs can operate off grid and combined with vacuum heat storage tanks containing molten salts, heat can be stored during sun hours for evening power use. Rising seas, disappearing glaciers, melting ice, storm surges: The threat of climate change may be distant to many people but not for residents of small, low-lying islands. Global warming has arrived, in some regions, the freshwater has turned salty, farmlands are barre officials say rising waters will submerge entire nations by century's end unless concerted action is t

3 Global CSP are proud to support the Alliance for Rural Electrification extract from statement by Ernesto Macias President of the Alliance for Rural Electrification Worldwide more than 1,6 billion people do not have access to electricity. 80 % of those live in rural areas. We in the industrialised world take electricity for granted. We do not realize that electricity is a basic precondition for almost all aspects of modern life. The provision of a stable and reliable access to electricity in rural areas does not only mean light but it is a major social, economic and environmental change that contributes to the alleviation of poverty, illiteracy, hunger & thirst, disease, etc. In other words, it becomes the foundation for development and progress. Electricity is essential for self sustained economic development. It enables poor communities to take their destiny in their own hands. As a consequence, access to electricity has to be high on the political agenda, while the private sector should commit in this effort The fight against climate change is one of the greatest challenges for the international community. Electrification means higher CO2 emission. How can access to electricity and the fight against climate change be reconciled? Renewable energies are the solution. Nowadays modern hybrid system (renewables combined with conventional energies) are not only more climate friendly than traditional diesel-run systems but also more efficient. Higher investment costs are coupled with far lower running costs. Break even can be achieved within 3-5 years.

4 Global CSP support the need for renewable energy roadmaps for small island nations. The Association of Small Island States is making a concerted effort to convince big carbon emitters, including emerging economies like those of India, China and Brazil, to begin reducing emissions before Access to electricity assists with income-generating activities, including agriculture. Rural electrification in India in the previous decade has largely focused on irrigation, which has moved the nation from a net food importer to a net food exporter. generation uses include in fisheries, processing of agricultural goods, and small-scale industry such a Electricity is important for the function of schools and hospitals. The significance of power for lighting should not be underestimated; studies of rural electrification indicate that supplying lights allow students to study into the evening hours

5 Global CSP Understand the needs of Island Nations The population of the world's islands is over 730 million, approximately 11% of the world's total population. There are approximately 180,500 islands in the world SECRETARY-GENERAL, AT SOLAR ENERGY EVENT, SAYS HARNESSING POWER OF MULTILATERALISM CAN BOOST SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH DURABLE, RENEWABLE ENERGY This is a serious threat to our planet. Sea-level rise could wipe out whole cultures and countries. Natural disasters cause trillions of dollars in damage. People are dying from extreme weather events, which are also endangering livelihoods around the world. Smaller catastrophes - local floods, storms and droughts - also take a heavy toll. Solar energy can play an important part in realizing these goals.

6 Global CSP Meeting the needs of the Island Nations CSP is a renewable energy: versatile and sustainable and will co-generate with other local fuels. Both off grid and as a local supplement to unreliable grids. CSP is low risk with virtually no emissions CSP can replace or save expensive imported fuels CSP can provide hot water, heating, cooling and drying and cooking desalination, air-conditioning and water purification Public and social facilities, Lighting, refrigerators, medical devices Landline and mobile phone networks, mini-grids, street lighting and road sign illuminations, maritime on-board electrical systems. For medium sized, off grid industrial needs 24/7, such as mining, which has other infrastructure requirement (electricity, cooling / heating, water treatment), CSP hybrid systems can be used, consisting of a Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) system, an ORC power pack and storage.

7 Global CSP have the technology to provide clean, safe drinking water for off grid communities Types of Water Supply There are three general water supply requirements in rural areas: Community water supply: Communities require water that is clean, uncontaminated and constant in supply. The amount of water needed depends on the number of people in the settlement. A village of 1,000 people supplied with a modest supply of water requires some 40 cubic metres (40,000 litres) per day. There is evidence that the global climate is changing. A global temperature increase of 3-4 C could cause changed run-off patterns and glacial melt will force an additional 1.8 billion people to live in a water scarce environment by Source: UNDP: Human Development Report, 2007/2008 Climate change is predicted to have a whole range of impacts on water resources. Variation in temperature and rainfall may affect water availability, increase the frequency and severity of floods and droughts, and disrupt ecosystems that maintain water quality. source and see more; -- See more at:

9 Global CSP and Cranfield University New collaboration reinforces Cranfield s solar reputation We share a passion and we are committed to green energy for our future generations Global CSP, are developers of the world s first precision engineered solar energy collector system, and Cranfield University are to work together on two solar energy projects. The collaboration will involve testing and improving Global CSP s solar energy collector system the solar captor. Based on aircraft technology, the solar captor is fully insulated against extreme weather and offers considerable cost savings over traditionally fabricated solar energy collectors for use in power generation, air-conditioning, chilling, water purification and desalination, providing hot-water up to super-steam for manufacturing process. In addition, the partnership will design and build a medium scale Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) generator. ORC generators use a dense organic fluid with a low boiling point temperature, allowing power generation from lower temperature sources, making them ideal for solar energy collectors. Global CSP have already built a small 15kW ORC prototype but will be building two larger scale ORC power plants at Cranfield (one at 75kW -130kW and the second at 500kW kW) further the ORC power plants will be used for waste heat recovery in the UK and global markets. There is huge potential for the ORC technology with concentrated solar energy Says Dr Chris Sansom Global CSP CEO Graham Provan, said: "We are delighted to announce the collaboration with Dr Chris Sansom, one of the UK leaders in Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) along with his team. The ORC power plants will be designed and initially built at Cranfield, a leading UK university with a reputation for engineering excellence. "Global CSP CEO Graham Provan
