Je suis trs heureux d'annoncer la
publication en Mars 2013 prochain
du premier numro du Bulletin
Bilingue de lARPEDAC (voir
exemplaire en photo). Le bulletin
sera publi sur une base
trimestrielle fournir des
informations et opportunits, y
compris les activits de travail de
nos membres, les dernires
nouvelles sur les technologies
durables, des projets de recherche
/ dveloppement et de
dmonstration, de financement /
des opportunits de collaboration
et demploi, et des vnements
(par exemple, confrences /
sminaires / ateliers/formations).
En tant qu'organisation but
non lucratif, ARPEDAC joue un
rle important dans la
consolidation de partenariats
concrets entre l'organisation
universitaire, gouvernemental et
industriel et de promouvoir les
technologies durables dans
lAfrique Central.
Je tiens inviter les membres
de lARPEDAC et d'autres
organisations contribuer aux
bulletins d'information par
l'envoi d'informations (250 -
300 mots et une photo) sur
leurs activits et des articles

A.R.E.D (African RenewableEnergy Distributor) offers
renewable energy solutions at a
micro and macro level. Our first
product is called MCCK (Mobile
Cell Phones Charging Kiosk); it
allows people on the go toquickly charge their cell
phones. A.R.E.D goals are tohave a social, environmental
and economic impact. I design
the business as a micro-
franchisee business model to
be able to create micro
entrepreneur since
unemployment is a big problem
in Africa, we working with the
youth council and women
association to recruit, train
potential micro Franchisees,
then we issues them a unit that
they lease on a monthly basis so
they can earn a leaving and
become sustainable. MCCK has2 solar power 20 watts each, an
alternator to allow manualcharges and a small battery to
store energy for potential night
usage. We offer advertisement
space on the device. The
device can be connected to a
bicycle so that each micro
franchisee can go where the
customers are and at night take
it at his home.
We are currently bas
Rwanda and we pla
expand in other countr
Africa, our ultimate goa
open and assembly l
Rwanda so we can c
product quality and p
design can be changed
faster. The future of A.
is to continue to desigengineer new technolog
can solve energy probl
Africa and our next proje
be on a macro level by
CSP technology with
modifications.

omass Briquetting is the process o
nverting low bulk density biomasso high density and energy
ncentrated fuel briquettes. Biomass
iquetting plants are of various sizes
hich converts biomass into solid
els. Briquettes are ready substitute of
oal/wood in industrial boiler and brick
n for thermal application. Biomass
iquettes are Non-conventional
ource of energy, Renewable in
ture, Eco friendly, nonpolluting and
onomical. Process of converting
omass to solid fuel is also non-lluting.
Latest news
SUNBEAM 2030 is a legally registeredKenyan company with the focus of
improving livelihoods of the unprivileged in
the society though improved energy,
health and other services. We have so far
been able to reach most of the local
market with our carbonized briquettes that
are gradually replacing wood charcoal and
firewood as cooking fuel. In phase one,
which is partly in progress but still limited
due to financial constraints, we are making
biomass briquettes for use as cooking
fuel. We begun by making small rolls
using our hands as machines, soil,
charcoal dust and cow dung as a binder.
We have improved on this and now we
have a small plant, locally fabricated with
a production of about 2,000 kg a day. In
addition, we have set up 37 small biomass
briquette processing plants across the
region which currently supplies over 1000
households with clean, efficient, affordable
charcoal for cooking in place of the smoky,
expensive and non reliable wood charcoal
while reducing deforestation. We normally
make both carbonized and non carbonized
briquettes depending on demand.
We are thus looking for partn
especially for our second phase wh
we intent to involve the Gas
Experimental Kits which will use
briquettes as feed stock to prod
electrical power that we can use
produce briquettes in the most rem
areas that are not supplied by the g
We also intent to expand our produc
to about 2.5 tons per hour outpu
order to meet the growing demand
charcoal in the region. In gene
Briquettes business is quite profitasince the production costs are quite
and the raw materials are rea
available compared to charcoal burn
business.

Energy Optimizers Limited is the maker of thePlogg, a plug in unit that meters electricity
consumption at the point of use, the mains
socket. In addition the Plogg acts as a load
controller, by switching off a connected
appliance either in response to an external
command or by activation of the inbuilt timers,
and as a data logger, recording the electrical
performance of the appliance over time. The
Plogg contains embedded wireless
communications with the option of either
ZigBee or Bluetooth protocols and was
launched in version 2.0 in the spring of
2008. An R&D programme is currently
underway to enhance the role of the Plogg
device as an integral part of a domestic
and commercial Demand Response
System (Plogg DRS) with othe
programmes due to start later in 2009.
The project is led by the MFKK Invention
and Research Center Services Ltd., inHungary, a private research company
expert in research and development tha
has been recently involved in 15
European Union funded R&D projects as
participant and coordinator. Expected
start date is late 2009.

Demonstration projects
ZedFactory Ltd will demonstrate ZeroCarbon Houses at UNNC Campus. The
design is based on the following:
Design statement : Our design approach is todemonstrate that high quality urban design and
well informed architecture can be environmentally
driven, economically viable, as well as offering a
better quality of life. The housing design aims to
develop affordable housing into Chinese
government policy system. According to current
national housing policy, 70% of all
housing is regulated to be affordable
housing smaller than 90 square meter.
Low-energy design : The Zero (fossil)Energy Development (ZED) standards
that are used to produce our
environmental designs, reduce energy
consumption and energy loss, to a point
where the energy load can be met by
renewable energy sources.
ZED standards have been researched
and developed over many years and
tested through numerous building
projects.
