In its second year, the Greenbang Awards celebrate the most forward thinking, innovative businesses and technologies creating a sustainable future. Cogenra was one of only four "Highly Commended" award recipients out of 11 categories total, spanning resource management, home and building efficiency and transportation technologies.
"We're pleased that a prestigious analyst firm such as Greenbang has chosen to highlight and honor the exceptional efficiency of our solar cogeneration technology," said Cogenra Solar CEO Dr. Gilad Almogy. "By producing both hot water and electricity, our system maximizes the energy yield of the sun, making a positive environmental impact while delivering dramatic energy and financial savings to customers around the world."
Cogenra's solar cogeneration technology generates five times more energy production than standard photovoltaics (PV), producing both hot water and electricity from a single array. Whereas PV technology alone captures only 15-20 percent of the sun's energy, Cogenra's solar cogeneration system collects up to 80 percent of the sun's incident energy. Capturing waste heat and converting it to heat allows solar cogeneration to offset three times more greenhouse gas emissions and deliver twice the financial savings on energy costs compared to standalone PV systems.
The Greenbang 2011 Efficiency Awards were presented to honorees at a special ceremony in London, UK on November 24, 2011.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
