AESP Green Energy
AESP Green Energy is a Quebec renewable energy company, specializing in the development of off-grid solar solutions since 2013.
AESP Green Energy built a product to serve the staggering 600 million people living off-grid in African Sub-Saharan countries, as well as the 250 million people living without access to electricity in India and in South Asia. The i-Kabin is a solar-powered charging station installed in the village center, designed to recharge mobile batteries (i-Packs), recharge mobile phones, and perform various tasks.
Residents are very responsive to i-Kabin deployments, and used the i-Kabins frequently. More i-Kabins AESP is expanding operations from South Africa to Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria and the Philippines.
Inerjys has recently engineered for AESP GE, a strategic partnership with French oil and gas giant, Total. Total will use Awango, their Pan African wholly owned subsidiary to operate the i-Kabins. Hence, Awango will act as the local African partner, providing local support and expertise on the ground.
Goliath Wind
Based out of Tallinn Estonia, Goliath Wind created a breakthrough product in 2008, challenging the way the wind industry manufactures and retails wind turbines.
The Capella Wind Turbine was introduced in the market as the first highly cost-efficient and modular 3.3MW wind turbine. The groundbreaking modular design of the ring generator allows fast local production and contributes in driving the cost of energy down. Goliath Wind enables regional partners to manufacture Capella at half the cost of similar turbines produced by the 5 largest vendors in the industry, such as GE, Siemens and Vestas.

BUILDER PORTFOLIO
Still Good
STILL GOOD IS A SUSTAINABLE FOOD BRAND WHOSE GOAL IS TO COMBAT FOOD WASTE AND ALLEVIATE LOCAL FOOD INSECURITY.
After discovering that up to twenty percent of Canadian produce goes to waste, this Montreal-based company knew that something had to be done. Still Good cooks up healthy snacks that not only taste great but are also great for the planet. They source their ingredients from local food manufacturers by rescuing their so called “waste” (but still good) such as juice pulp and spent grain — saving tons of produce from going to waste!
Considering that 5.5 million Canadians go to bed hungry every night, Still Good also established a charitable partnership with Moisson Montreal, Canada’s largest food bank. With the help of Moisson Montréal, for every item sold, Still Good donates one meal to a child in need.
Clean O2
A developer and manufacturer that captures CO2 gas with its microcarbon capture technology.
CleanO2 has developed the world’s first aggregated commercial scale carbon capture device. The patent-pending heat recovery technology, called CARBiNX, can capture up to 20% of greenhouse gas emissions from a building’s heating system and convert the carbon dioxide into a valuable commodity – potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 – which is the primary component of pearl ash).
When combined with a reactant, the pearl ash can also be used in CleanO2 ’s branded soap and detergent products sold back to commercial customers. Future applications are being explored for the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and industrial sectors. Not only does CARBiNX reduce commercial heating emissions, it also utilizes waste heat produced and captured within the system to reduce the amount of natural gas required by a building’s heating system by up to 20%.
Bidgala
Bidgala is building a massive community of emerging artists to sustainably democratize the art world. By championing local artists and their stories, they enable meaningful connections between artists, art-lovers, and design professionals. Bidgala is a dynamic marketplace and community for independent artists and art lovers around the world.
