Discover the Belgian Know-How in Wind Energy Technology
Wind power has the potential to make a major contribution to the worlds increasing energy demand. In the process it would save an annual 215 million tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2020. Jan Declercq Belgian companies have a unique expertise and know-how in windmills & windfarms equipment.

Discover the Belgian Know-How in Photovoltaic Technology

It is estimated that in 2020 solar electricity can provide electricity to over 1 billion people worldwide. It could also provide more than 2 million jobs in production, installation and maintenance. It is estimated that the annual market can grow on average 35% from 2005 until 2010. Following this trend, solar electricity can be competitive with peak electricity prices by 2010. Belgian companies have state-of-the art technologies to offer in Photovoltaic equipment.

The wind farm will consist of 60 turbines of 5MW on the Thornton sandbank and will generate 1 TWH of renewable energy or equal to the annual average electricity consumption of 600.000 inhabitants. This will result in a reduction of CO emissions equivalent to 450.000 tons per year.

Company Description
C-Power is a Belgian company established for the development and implementation of far shore wind farm on the Thorntonbank, 27 to 30 km in the North Sea. The wind farm will have an installed capacity of max 300 MW. The C-Power project has obtained all permits and licenses and started the construction in 2007. The grid energizing for the first phase installation is planned for August 2008. The Thorntonbank is a world wide pioneer as with regards to distance to the shore, water depth, installed wind turbine capacity. Never before in the world a wind farm was developed and commercially financed at such a distance from the shore and at such water depth with the world largest wind turbines.

What does Siemens offer ? No other company worldwide can probably offer its customers such a broad portfolio of economical and ecological technologies. Here are some examples: - Over 6,400 Siemens wind turbines have been installed with a peak performance of 5,700 megawatts, reducing CO2 emissions by 8 million metric tons per year. - Thanks to high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology from Siemens, electricity can be transmitted over distances of up to 2,000 kilometers with minimum loss. - Variable-speed drives with frequency converters reduce the electricity consumption of pumps and fans by up to 60 percent. - Compared to conventional procedures, Siemens' Corex technology reduces CO2 and sulfur dioxide emissions resulting from iron production by 30 and 97 percent respectively. - By optimizing heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, Siemens increases the energy efficiency of buildings and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. Siemens has modernized 6,500 buildings worldwide, thereby reducing CO2 emissions by 2.4 million metric tons and saving more than 1 billion euros. www.siemens.com/environmentalportfolio
