  • General Electric Wind Energy Chooses Globalstar to Safeguard
    General Electric Wind Energy chooses Globalstar's SPOT Gen3 to Safeguard Workers in EMEA and Asia Highlights: • General Electric Wind Energy will equip its employees in Pakistan and Morocco with Globalstar’s SPOT Gen3 safety devices, followed by deployments in further new markets across Europe, Middle East and Africa • Following a rigorous selection process, SPOT Gen3 was chosen for satellite tracking, one-touch SOS capability, superior reach and reliability • SPOT system, including GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Centre 24/7, performed flawlessly in drills with emergency services in Spain, UK and Pakistan Dublin, Ireland, November 30, 2016 – Globalstar Europe Satellite Services Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Globalstar Inc. (NYSE MKT: GSAT) and a leader in satellite messaging and emergency notification technologies, today announced that its SPOT Gen3 safety device is being deployed by major international wind technology provider, General Electric, to track and protect GE Wind Energy (GEWE) workers as they install, operate and maintain onshore wind power installations in emerging markets across EMEA and Asia. Globalstar’s value added reseller, Crambo Wireless S.A., initially provided GEWE with over 70 SPOT Gen3 devices to safeguard crews working at wind power installations in Pakistan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, among other locations. As GEWE expands into new territories it will deploy SPOT Gen3 devices to protect its workers in Ghana, Kenya, and elsewhere in Africa, as well as Central Europe and the Balkans. By mid-2017, GEWE personnel working at approximately 70 wind farms in EMEA and Asia are expected to have enhanced safety thanks to SPOT. Any major construction project comes with operational hazards.

By installing 8,358 megawatts (MW) of new Wind Energy Program Mission: The mission of DOE’s Wind Igeneration during the year, the U.S. wind energy industry took and Hydropower Technologies Program is to increase the the lead in global installed wind energy capacity with a total of development and deployment of reliable, affordable, and 25,170 MW. According to initial estimates, the new wind projects environmentally responsible wind and water power completed in 2008 account for about 40% of all new U.S. power- technologies in order to realize the benefits of domestic producing capacity added last year. The wind energy industry’s renewable energy production. rapid expansion in 2008 demonstrates the potential for wind energy to play a major role in supplying our nation with clean, inexhaustible, domestically produced energy while bolstering our nation’s economy.

Wind power can dramatically reduce the environmental impacts associated with power generated from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Electricity production is one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States. Thus, adoption of wind power generating technologies has become a major way for the United States to diversify its energy portfolio and reach its expressed goal of 80% reduction in green house gas (GHG) emissions by the year 2050. The benefits of wind power plants include no fuel risk, no carbon dioxide emissions or air pollution, no hazardous waste production, and no need for mining, drilling or transportation of fuel (American Wind Energy Association, 2009a).

Low exothermic temperature (70°C) Less stress on the bond line, preventing cracking and reducing warranty costs. Adjustable cure speeds Faster blade production time and greater yield per mold. (1MPa achieved in 4 hours at 20°C.) Reduced energy costs Achieve full cure at room temperature, no heat cure or tempering required. Henkel’s Blade Bonding Adhesives enable best-in-class production speed, increased manufacturing capacity and reduced overall costs.
