Selected Portfolio Technologies:SPG's business model is already demonstrating success early in our opportunity investigation process, which has brought SPG Holdings an opening portfolio of technology opportunities, including the following: Wind turbine: A revolutionary, patented design that offers significant advantages in siting, noise, and power generation in a much wider range of wind speeds than is currently possible. Basic prototypes and wind tests have been conducted, and a market entry product can be manufactured in limited quantities within 6 months to one year - with rapid ramp-up possible thereafter. Power source mixer : This newly patented technology allows grid and alternate energy to coexist in a variety of energy use environments; it assures clean and consistent power while drawing the most economic percentage from alternate or backup sources. Energy management controller on a chip: An extensively patented technology now being tested in niche markets by major companies has been offered to SPG for license in specific energy control arenas such as commercial refrigeration, where low-cost reliable electronics can enable major benefits. Combined Heat and Power (CHP)/biomass: A combined-cycle biogas heat and power technology developed by a major Japanese brewery that uses fermentation and distillation by-products to generate heat and energy and reduce effluent volume. Russian renewable generation technologies: SPG has entered discussions with a large Russia-based renewable energy technology research institute to implement commercialization strategies for several proprietary renewable energy generation technologies, including solar, biomass, and wind generation technologies. |
