DEVELOPING ON-SITE ENERGY SOLUTIONS
FOR ISOLATED COMMUNITIES
Biomass - Waste - Solar - Wind
There comes a time when one wants to build on his experience to participate in making the world better. Maturity and desire to create lead us to commit ourselves to developing sustainable projects. “We”, Bertrand Courcelle and François de Montfort, decided as we met to leverage our network and start together this green project.
The keys to success:
- a growing issue: the need for an appropriate energy mix that would include all resources available on-site;
- experience in biomass management that eases decision making ;
- a seasoned team of highly motivated people who believe in the project, it´s social purpose and environmental objectives;
Wheig has a worldwide ambition : our team is deployed in France, latin America, South east Asia, Indian Ocean, Pacific. Our will is to create a company that would help isolated communities in transforming all wasted sources of bounty into something valuable as well as improving the local environment.
FOCUS ON A PROJECT
Mega Bangna – Bangkok, Thailand
Installation and operation, in Thailand, of a Unit treating mixed waste (organic and inert) generated by Mega Bangna Mall (Ikea Bangna) and several Big C and Tesco Lotus Shopping Centers, all located in the South Eastern periphery of Bangkok.
The Project is developed via the local Regional Subsidiary of Wheig, Wheih Asia, under a BOO (Build Own Operate) mode and in partnership with a prominent Thai Partner, Focus Group, through Focus Wheig Corporation, a Joint Venture incorporated in Bangkok.
