THE GREEN GENERATORS: MARU MOBILE ENERGY SUPPLY UNIT

ended

Off-grid power generation has been needed since long ago in isolated and remote areas where grid energy is not reliable or inexistent. In the recent years several advantages of on-site off-grid energy generation are being vastly appreciated in other segments due to price predictability, sustainability, business resilience, cost-effectiveness and environmental concerns. In Europe, a steady movement towards application of renewable energy is taking place. However, segments where temporary portable power supply are needed, the use of renewable energy proves more difficult and fuel generators are the dominant off-grid solution. The use of conventional generators is commonplace in the construction sector, predominantly running on gasoline or diesel. Although functional, the rate of CO2 and NOx emissions produced by fossil combustibles poses a challenge to conventional generators in view of the late European policies. We, Maru Systems, are an innovative company created in 2007 in the Netherlands and specialized in off-grid systems and renewable power supply solutions. We have developed MESU, a groundbreaking mobile hybrid generator powered by solar panels able to achieve a stunning 95% reduction on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, that can replace diesel gensets in the construction sector providing a clean and efficient off-grid energy supply. We aim to carry out a Feasibility Study to plan the most suitable technical and commercial strategies to develop our product to commercialization level by 2020 and to concrete the business aspects of the project. We will also reach collaboration agreements with key distributors in the European market and confirm preliminary market traction. In order to achieve these goals, we require a €2 million investment. Finally, through the completion of Maru Systems MESU project we expect to make Cumulative Return of Investment of 5.64 in 2025.
