ARE WE READY?

I talked about that the world needs to prepare for disasters before.

We have already a disaster on our hands and it could quickly become much worse. The Russian invasion into Ukraine created a massive flow of people, mostly women and children, looking for safety. The refugee crisis is not new for the world, but this time this is inside Europe. Europe is not prepared for this even after the Middle East refugee crisis several years ago. 

Ukraine and countries accepting refugees, need a lot of shelters, together with infrastructure, first of all heating, water, including hot water and sanitation.

Autonomous Mobile Energy System (AMES) can be a hub of such infrastructure. 


The AMES module fits in a standard 20 foot shipping container, can be delivered to any geographical location in the world, rapidly deployed and almost immediately start providing clean energy, especially heat, with no need for any fuel or connection to the power grid.

In the integrated camp infrastructure, the AMES can absorb heat released by the solid waste process module - incineration, gassification or pyrolysis - and store it in the built-in thermal energy storage with phase-change material (PCM). This heat can be used for heating of the camp shelters and providing hot water for the camp use as well as for the medical needs. It can also be used to preheat inflow of waste water to increase efficiency of the water treatment unit, which will provide potable water for the camp and reduce the need for external supply of water.    

This solution is currently getting ready to be tested for the Canadian Armed Forces relocatable temporary camp. Together with the partners, Ascent is planning to participate in the DND Camp Sustain Program.  

We are partnering with AdvanTec Global Innovations in manufacturing the AMES module in Canada.

We have access to manufacturing facilities in Poland and Lithuania at scale for quick delivery to any place in Europe or elsewhere.
