GREAT HUB: Ghana Renewable Energy & Aqua Technological HUB
TERGYS designs decentralised autonomous systems for water treatment and energy production from renewable resources (solar, wind).
Overview of the project
The project, supported by Pompiers Solidaires and Tergys, aims to install a compact surface water treatment system, with bottling in returnable bottles and light logistics. Powered by renewable energies, the system also supplies electricity to an IT hub (computers, recharging). The aim is to test self-financing through the sale of water and digital services.ations internationales de Bordeaux Métropole.
To test a ‘water kiosk’ type of business model for operating a water treatment system using surface water, combined with a computer access hub and internet connection, all energy self-sufficient.
Ongoing research
Projet en cours
The system will produce 10 m³ of drinking water per day, with approximately 520 5-gallon bottles bottled.
It includes an IT hub for 10 people, powered by 16 kWp of solar panels and 20 kWh of batteries.
A 40-foot container, fitted out in France (sockets, cabling), will be transformed locally into an IT space equipped with 10 recycled computers and local furniture.
The consortium is made up of : Pompiers Solidaires (project leader), TERGYS (technology), Bordeaux Métropole, the local NGO H2iMEGA-HUB and the Ghanaian company HiTL Company.
The distribution of tasks and the budget are currently being finalised, depending on water and IT access requirements.
The project is currently being financed. To date, a funding application has been submitted to Bordeaux Métropole.
organisation
TERGYS develops autonomous systems for treating water and producing renewable energy (solar, wind).
Our off-grid solutions supply drinking, desalinated, industrial or recycled water, as well as the associated energy utilities.
We also carry out audits and studies for industry.
Additional partnerships are envisaged.
