TransPacific Energy to Provide Technological Support for Moroccan Government's Energy Project

TransPacific Energy Inc.(TPE), a U.S.- based renewable energy company and an affiliate of SunSi Energies Inc., announced its selection for a Landmark project for the Moroccan government.

As a part of a three-company consortium, TPE is going to design, develop, install, and optimize a 1MW Thermal Solar driven Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) energy project in the country. The other two partners in the project are SNC-Lavalin, an engineering and construction firm, and MITHRAS Energies Maroc, a press release revealed.

TPE designs, builds, owns, operates, sells and installs proprietary, modular Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC), utilizing multiple environmentally sound and low GWP refrigerant mixtures. Committed to creating a cleaner, greener world while reducing global warming, TPE delivers innovative solutions that maximize waste heat directly from industrial processes, solar, geothermal, biomass and landfill and convert the heat into renewable electrical energy. The company uses proprietary multiple component fluids that are environmentally sound, non-toxic and non-flammable. TPE also offers thermal storage and power generation using warm ocean waters and desalination.

According to TPE website, its multiple component fluids are different from other typical Organic Rankine Cycles that use binary cycles together with organic fluids such as pentane, isobutene, butane, propane, R 245fa and ammonia. Unlike competing ORC systems, TPE's advanced technology does not use cooling towers but employs either air-cooled or water-cooled condensers.

The selection of TPE as a partner in this initiative was originally announced on June 17th by the Research Institute for Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN), the Moroccan government agency overseeing the project.

“We are very pleased that TPE was selected to work on this project. We believe that TPE's technology has multiple applications in a wide variety of industries, both domestically and internationally. With TPE's products starting to receive market traction and notoriety, we believe that their revenues and profitability will begin to increase very substantially,” SunSi's CEO David Natan commented in a statement.

SunSi currently commands approximately 30 percent stake at TPE. The company expects to acquire an additional 21 percent equity interest in TPE in July 2012.
