Global investor in the renewable energy and energy efficiency industry and a member of COFRA Group. The current market capitalization of its investment portfolio is more than four billion Euros. It has expanded its strategy by investing in solar downstream, concentrated solar power (CSP), project finance (wind farms and solar power stations) as well as in load management and green buildings.
Developing a commercially viable solution for turning sewage sludge into oil, saving enormous sums in disposal and saving the earth from the destructive sewage dumping.
A ton of high-quality sludge can produce about 30 kilograms of fuel. The technology is not in high-volume production yet.
With a view to addressing problems in Israel’s water sector, Tahal has evolved into a leading international authority on integrated development and management of surface water and groundwater resources, and water supply systems. It has lately turned its attention to the needs of developing countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America.
Services are offered at various levels, namely: master plans, feasibility studies, detailed design, tender document preparation, project management, construction supervision. Also, full turn-key project implementation including design, construction and financing, construction implementation as a main contractor, and Build-Operate-Transfer and Build-Operate-Own. Engaged in equity sharing.
The wholly owned water and sewage projects contracting arm of Kardan NV (TASE: KRNV;AEX:KARD).
Pioneered a new approach to reverse osmosis desalination by implicating closed circuit desalination based on hydrostatic principles. These principles enable a process in which the flow rates of pressurized feed and permeate are equal, thereby substantially reducing the capacity of the pressurizing means and avoiding any need for energy recovery techniques. Its vision is to establish its technology as the leading reverse osmosis technology and to reduce the desalinated water prices to a level which will make them affordable to many thirsty developed and developing communities.
Aims to be a producer of sea floating reverse-osmosis water desalination barges. Currently seeking funding with first production barges not yet built.
Alternatively, barges can preside on land close to a sea coast. Acquapro barges are modular and can thus be constructed according to varying sizes and scale on demand. By combining the most efficient, mobile, off-shore desalination with efficient transmission, treatment, and storage, AcquaPro’s product eliminates much of the high environmental, political, and fiscal costs that make land-based water treatment plants expensive and excessively time-consuming to set up.
A basic barge supplies 5 million gallons (19 million liters) of water daily, enough to supply 50,000 average-sized households or more on an emergency basis, or a good-sized community on a regular basis. Being mobile, Acquapro barges can be moved to safety in the event of natural disaster, war or other hazard, and likewise be quickly deployed anywhere in the world according to circumstance.
Purchasing options include outright plant acquisition, build-own-operate and build-operate-transfer. Also leasing on both short and long-term bases.

Positions itself as the world leader in waste-to-energy by using a process comprised of the best available technologies for treating various waste materials and producing three major end products: electricity, ethanol and potable water.
Formed to develop and commercialize feedstock conversion technologies for biofuel producers. The company is applying patent pending processes to a variety of second generation feedstocks, including algae and various cellulosic materials, to create biodiesel and ethanol. By using these low-cost/high-yield feedstocks, biofuel producers will be positioned to compete with petroleum fuel producers on the free market, independent of any subsidies or mandates. The company’s expertise includes both process conversion and plant design/construction. Inventure currently operates a biodiesel and ethanol R&D production site in Seattle, Washington where it is currently producing biodiesel and ethanol from algae sourced from various suppliers, including Seambiotic. Using algae feedstock, the company has produced biodiesel that meets stringent American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. Inventure is in the final stages of closing its second round of private financing.
Grows and processes marine microalgae using a revolutionary ecologically based environmental system. Seambiotic’s technology and unique know-how can be profitably exploited in two major areas: Biofuel and Omega 3 Oil. For the last five years, the company has carried out an extensive R&D pilot study at the Israeli Electric Corporation’s power station near the city Ashkelon, Israel. Throughout the study, new and advanced research methods have been developed for cultivation of various species of marine microalgae using the power station’s CO2 emissions released directly from their smokestacks and which pass through pipelines directly to Seambiotic’s open ponds. The pilot plant has yielded an impressive concentration of algae containing a high percentage of lipids and carbohydrates in a very short term, promoting the production of bio-fuel. Seambiotic’s patent technology efforts in cultivating microalgae utilizing flue gas emissions from power plants is a great step towards the reduction of air pollution and global warming.
