  • WORKING TOGETHER Clarke's 2015 Sustainability Report
    WORKING TOGETHER Clarke's 2015 Sustainability Report ii G4-1, G4-2 It is my pleasure to introduce our seventh Sustainability Report. This report highlights our work in 2015 and measures our progress toward our 2020 Sustainability Goals. 2015 was a year of working together. It was a year of collaboration and partnership— throughout all areas of our business and in all of our endeavors. Employees came together to share stories of their successes and to explore solutions to their challenges. Suppliers and partners helped us to eliminate unnecessary waste and improve efficiencies in our service operations and manufacturing processes. Our scientific and regulatory teams articulated a “road map” to guide the discovery, development and commercialization of our greener chemistry, Next Gen products. Those same teams partnered with local schools to educate and inspire the next generation of environmental and sustainability minded scientists. We worked with and within our local communities to give back and to demonstrate our care for people and for the planet. In 2015, we engaged with our stakeholders—employees, customers, suppliers, and partners—to identify the issues and opportunities that matter most. And with this insight, we are able to refine our focus and concentrate our efforts on providing high quality, innovative and effective products and services that address public health issues and improve the quality of inland waterways. As the year came to a close, the importance of our work was reinforced with the emergence of new mosquito-borne diseases throughout the world. These emerging new threats remind us of the profound obligation—and the challenge—that we have to take steps today to ensure a sustainable future for our environment, our employees and our business, and for our global community.

  • Clarke Energy and INNIO Delivering Flexible Generation to Nova Power & Gas in Romania
    PRESS RELEASE: Clarke Energy and INNIO Delivering Flexible Generation to Nova Power & Gas in Romania • Clarke Energy supplies 4 INNIO Jenbacher J620 gas engines to the peaking station project. • Construction is ongoing at power plant located in Campia Turzii, Cluj County. • The project will improve efficiency and stability of power to the Reif Industrial Park. Bucharest, Romania — April 16th 2021 — Construction has begun in Campia Turzii, where Clarke Energy and INNIO are delivering a natural-gas fuelled flexible generation plant to Nova Power & Gas SRL, part of the E-INFRA Group The innovative peaking station project consists of 4 INNIO Jenbacher J620 natural gas engines with a total electric power of 13.4 MW. Two of the engines installed with “fast start” capabilities will be utilised for electricity peaking, designed to help balance the fluctuating power requirements of the electricity grid. This peaking plant will provide balancing services at the request of the Transport and System Operator at times of peak demand. The remaining two engines supplied will deliver electricity to the Reif Industrial Park and will provide improved energy efficiency and stability in the area. The project was an important first sales win for Clarke Energy’s Romanian team following the company’s entry into the market through the acquisition of TEB Energy Business in November 2019. With two existing customers who have previously switched from cogeneration to peaking plants, Nova Power & Gas SRL is now the third natural-gas fuelled peaking station in Romania, all equipped with INNIO Jenbacher gas engines. Mircea Bica, CEO of Nova Power & Gas commented “Câmpia Turzii project is our first investment in next-generation power plant based on natural gas with increased efficiency and high operational flexibility.

  • Market Analysis for Gas Engine Technology in Algeria
    Market Analysis for Gas Engine Technology in Algeria Stéphane Michaut Master of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Energy Technology EGI-2013-049MSC EKV951 Division of Heat & Power SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis EGI-2013-049MSC EKV951 MARKET ANALYSIS FOR GAS ENGINE TECHNOLOGY IN ALGERIA Stéphane Michaut Approved Examiner Supervisor at KTH 2013-06-04 Prof. Torsten Fransson Miroslav Petrov Commissioner Contact person at industry CLARKE ENERGY Ltd., Algeria Didier Lartigue Abstract The objective of this diploma thesis is to investigate the potential of combined heat and power plants based on gas engine technology in Algeria. This market analysis has been performed in order to identify the key markets for the newly created French subsidiary of Clarke Energy Group to expand its business in North Africa. After analyzing the structure of the Algerian energy sector and the potential of each gas engine application, three key sectors were identified. For each sector, a technical and economical analysis was conducted in order to define its potential, its constraints, and the time frame under which they could become mature markets. With a potential of 300 MW, the first targeted sector is related to the national power utility Sonelgaz and consists in small scale power plants with a nominal power output < 20 MW, in which the use of gas engines instead of gas turbines could reduce up to 50% the price of kWh generated over the lifecycle of the plant. With a total of 450 MW, the second market representing a great potential for gas engines development in Algeria is the industrial sector and in particular brick factories, in which cogeneration plants become profitable within 4 years, can save up to 40% of primary energy and generate electricity whose cost of production is 30% lower than the average grid price.
