It is for certain that the "business as usual" model to keep the current
trend of conventional energy scenarios based on fossil fuels is
clearly not sustainable. Given the reality of accelerated global
warming, fragile nature of oil dominated energy supply and enormous
future demand, shifting paradigm towards renewable energy
resources becomes a life and death struggle of contemporary
civilization. A. Hassabou; Director IEU
August 2015

Vision & Mission
With world population steadily growing over the years with increasing industrialisation and
urbanisation rates, the energy demand is increasing at accelerated rates. There are several
challenges facing energy resources and environmental development globally – on top of them the
depletion and volatility of fossil fuels, greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and great
concerns against nuclear power. The world has reached a stage where climate change consequences
and escalating environmental problems are imposing limits on its socio-economic development based
on conventional fossil fuel resources. In the present context, as energy supplies are becoming more
and more limited, then the conclusion seems clear: “present energy resources will not be able to meet
tomorrow’s demand”.
To alleviate the consequences of the current and impending crisis, three major kinds of resources
have to be considered: increasing energy efficiency and rational use of available resources,
increasing renewable energy share in the energy mix at an accelerated pace, and intensification of
waste energy recovery through waste to energy concepts.
It is for certain that the "business as usual" model to keep the current trend of conventional energy
scenarios based on fossil fuels is clearly not sustainable. Given the reality of accelerated global
warming, fragile nature of oil dominated energy supply and enormous future demand, shifting
paradigm towards renewable energy resources becomes a life and death struggle of contemporary
civilization.
Utilisation of renewable energy to meet the energy deficit for future can make a large contribution
towards sustainable economic development while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the
limited financial resources and exhaustible energy resources will no doubt influence decision makers
in their choice of investment frameworks in energy infrastructure projects particularly in renewable
energy and energy efficiency technologies.
In this context, the CPI Group future vision is based on introducing new generation of technologies
towards cost competitive and sustainable supply of renewable energy. CPI Group has paid utmost
attention to start building capabilities to contribute to the global context for accelerated deployment of
renewable energy systems in different parts of the world.

Projects & Investment
The IEU is currently developing two PV panels manufacturing plants in Turkey and Qatar with a total
capacity of 300 MW per year. The panels produced by the two facilities will be used in construction
of eight solar PV power plants with a total capacity of 1,200 MW up to 2023 in both countries. This
size of production capacity requires a total investment of 1.6 Billion Euros.

The IEU is currently in a negotiation process of acquiring one of the most leading PV panels
manufacturing technologies.
Solar PV Panels Production
Solar power generation by PV systems becomes
increasingly competitive without subsidies due to low
production costs Strong growth is expected on a worldwide
scale, with unprecedented targets in both developed and
underdeveloped countries. The global installed PV-
capacity is forecasted to increase from 139 GW to 375 GW
by 2018, which makes solar energy is the backbone of
future global energy supply. The world PV energy capacity growth targets require immediate
investment in local manufacturing and development of cutting edge technologies to be efficiently
and safely deployed and operated as soon as possible. As , the proof today, the production capacity
of solar PV modules worldwide is too far below the required production capabilities to meet the
planned targets on both short and midterms, especially in emerging and developing countries.
The IEU has secured funds and adoption of cutting edge PV manufacturing technologies as one of
the immediate investment opportunities to setup PV manufacturing facilities to ensure that sufficient
and timely PV capacity is brought online consistent with annual targets in countries and regions of
interest. The IEU is currently developing two PV modules manufacturing facilities with 150 MW
capacity each in both Qatar and Turkey. This size of production requires a capital outlay of 170
Million Euros for each factory.
Each Project shall comprise the following production facilities, with indoor and outdoor spaces of
40,000 m2
:
 Automated production lines for the innovative PV panels with 150 MW capacity
 Manufacturing and assembly halls equipped with mechanical and electrical workshops
 space for R&D, engineering design and optimization of PV systems,
 Outdoor technology testing, where PV modules can be tested under real conditions
 Training and technology transfer center for installation and commissioning of PV systems
IEU has access to funding through the mother holding company CPI Group whereby CPI Group is
able to generate sufficient capital to through its strong financial position and business records with
banks, investors and financing institutes. The Business Model for PV manufacturing facilities
dictates a minimum capacity of PV power plants to be installed in each country on a size of 450 MW
within the first five years.
Solar PV Power Plants
Projects in Turkey: The IEU is currently establishing a joint
venture with a leading Turkish company for developing five

solar PV power plants with a total capacity of 750 MW over up to 2023. The total investment of
these power plants requires a capital outlay of 820 Million Euros.
Projects in Qatar: The IEU is also establishing a joint venture with a Qatari partner for developing
three solar PV power plants with a total capacity of 450 MW in the first stage over up to 2020. The
total investment of these power plants requires a capital outlay of 500 Million Euros.
Technology & Innovation
1- SOLAR WASTE TO ENERGY (SW2E)
The world depends heavily on fossil fuels as the main source of energy for production of electrical
energy and desalted water in domestic and industrial sectors. This has a negative impact on the
Global Environment and Economy resulting in high CO2 emissions with real threats on sustaining
life on the earth. As economies and populations are rapidly growing, all nations face unique
challenges related to finding reliable and cost effective alternatives for sustainable supply of energy
and water while reducing carbon emissions. The COP21 Conference held in Paris on November 30
through December 11, 2015 has set ambitious targets through the legally universal agreement that
was discussed aiming to keep Global Warming below 2°C and thus not risking catastrophic changes
to food production, sea levels, fishing, wildlife, deserts, water reserves and other ecological
systems. This agreement can be considered as the first step on the road towards a better climate to
save the planet and assure a safe future for existing and future generations.
Obviously there is a fundamental need to accelerate deployment of sustainable technologies for
energy, water and food production to overcome the respective security challenges in all countries.
Moreover, beside the climate change, the depletion of fossil fuel sources is an increasing concern
that motivates all nations to pursue renewable energy sources.
Electricity generation through solar energy, especially in MENA region and sunny parts of the world,
has been identified as one of the most promising options to supply renewable energy for different
applications. However, energy production from renewable sources is mainly characterized by strong
fluctuating supply patterns, which limits the expansion of large capacity of renewable sources over
short time. Due to transient and dynamic nature of solar energy, energy storage systems or hybrid
solutions that enable stabilized electricity supply and shifting supply to meet demand play a key role
in renewable energy systems to guarantee firm capacity on demand and smooth operation of the
grid. Solar PV systems are known to vary by 10 – 15% due to hourly solar variations over daytime
while the impact due to cloud cover can cause up to 60% of energy output drop within few minutes.
This creates great uncertainty for the system operator and major challenges for integration of such
variable sources with the grid. As a result, large scale energy storage and hybrid systems emerge
as an imperative solution to overcome the dynamic nature of energy supply and demand.
Large scale storage relying solely on batteries, which is the available technology, is not an optimum
solution for such huge capacity and is very costly especially for shifting supply to meet loads.
Batteries present some sever limitations: additional investment costs, maintenance and extra costs
due to periodic replacement induced by their short lifetime. Storage in batteries is still relatively
expensive for large scale grid-connected applications, for the short term batteries can be used for

voltage and frequency regulation at some nodes of the grid together with large scale energy storage
technologies at generation plants.
The pumped storage hydropower (PSH); the most technically efficient and dominating large scale
electrical energy storage technology (>95% of global capacity), is the only commercially proven
technology available for grid-scale energy storage. However, it requires a certain topography that
provides a head (potential) between elevated locations such as hills or mountains and depressions.
As the land topology in promising sites for solar power plants is almost flat, this fundamental
condition is not satisfied, which leads to exclusion of this technology.
Obviously world’s renewable energy capacity growth targets require practical and affordable
solutions for grid stabilization to be efficiently, effectively, and safely deployed and operated.
Therefore, meeting the future demand for energy and water in a sustainable and environmentally
friendly way is one of the biggest challenges facing the world for accelerated deployment of
renewables in short and long terms. As those challenges imposed by increasing climate change
incidents, which are happening in many parts of the world, are uniquely demanding, cost effective
and reliable models need to be developed in a short time. Therefore, hybrid solutions may provide
the quickest solution until effective energy solutions are developed.
The IEU has developed an innovative system, which is a totally new concept for integration of solid
waste reactors with hybrid Photovoltaic-Thermal (PV-T) solar power generation, and concentrated
solar thermal (CST) collectors to maintain a sustainable and continuous supply of energy and fresh
water inexpensively and almost free of carbon for all sunny parts of the world.

The innovative integrated system introduces a hybrid system of solar and Waste to Energy to
provide a sustainable and profitable solution as an alternative to expensive energy storage
methods. The system enables continous, cost-efficient and sustainable power production, without
energy storage or with the absolute minimum capacity of energy storage. Very interestingly, the new
SW2E system has a major advanced step further over existing solar and waste to energy systems,
where hydrogen in combination with solid waste has been converted into clean oil, clean gas, and
fertilizers. This means that the storage is less costly and less sophisticated while standard turbines
and power cycles can be used for power generation. Moreover the energetic efficiency is much
higher and footprint is much less. Furthermore, this patentable technology is under filing and ready
for deployment on a full commercial scale.
On the project development side, the IEU has developed a complete model, which optimizes the
economic factors that have created severe barriers in the past. With the IEU business model and
SW2E technology, round-the-clock solar and waste to energy are economically viable and
technically reliable in most countries of the world.
2- HYBRID SOLAR PV-THERMAL SYSTEM (DOHA COLLECTOR)
Solar collectors represent the major cost component of a solar system and require sizable space. In
the near future, successful strategies to maximize the return on investment and land use efficiency
in solar energy systems will be a combination of high-efficiency solar collectors with energy storage
and cogeneration/polygeneration concepts. Solar “poly-generation” aims to combine multiple
products (e.g. electricity, air conditioning and desalinated water) from the one solar resource.
Polygeneration is an attractive solution for many applications in residential, commercial, touristic,
sport and industrial sectors, as they can satisfy almost all energy and water needs, with numerous
cost and performance benefits. However these benefits can only be realized if a simple, reliable,
efficient and cost effective solar collector and energy storage
components can be developed.
As almost all the applications and polygeneration systems require
simultaneous supply of both electrical and thermal energy, a robust
solar energy portfolio is likely to include photovoltaic (PV) and solar
thermal systems with complementary roles. Hybrid Photovoltaic-
Thermal (PV-T) solar collectors holds a great promise for realization
of the targeted solution, as electrical and thermal energy can be
generated simultaneously in the same collector with no additional
land footprint and minimum incurred costs.
On the other side, operation of PV systems under extremely high
temperatures in hot climates represents one of the major challenges for all PV applications. As the
efficiency of PV cells drops significantly at high temperatures when the demand for cooling and
water desalination, as major consumers of energy in hot arid climates, is also high, maintaining the
temperature of PV modules at a lower level is highly desirable and offers two additional advantages:
an increase of the life expectancy of PV modules and stabilization of the output power
characteristics.

While cooling PV modules requires a temperature level of the cooling medium as low as possible
below 40 °C, most of polygeneration applications require thermal energy at higher temperatures in
the range from 80 °C up to 250-300 °C. On the other side, solar thermal collectors for medium
temperature applications in the same range are underdeveloped although potential market and
applications are huge. In 2013, solar thermal engineering applications accounted for 30% of the
solar thermal market, with an increase of more than 50%. It is expected that the solar thermal
engineering application market will further expand with the development of solar thermal technology
for industrial and agricultural applications, as well as solar district heating and cooling applications.
This patent introduces a simple, yet robust hybrid Photovoltaic-Thermal (PV-T) Solar Collector
Integrated with/or without Ground-Based thermal energy storage to deliver electricity and thermal
energy at low and medium temperatures to drive polygeneration systems in many applications in hot
countries and all over the world. It rigorously addresses challenges of operation of PV systems in
hot dusty countries and proposes an extremely efficient, yet simple, design. The present invention
will help in maximization of solar energy conversion and land use efficiency in hot sunny countries to
promote solar energy applications for sustainable development. This paves the way to put solar PV
energy on the fast track.
Although the innovative DOHA COLLECTOR is a stationary, non-evacuated, and low-technology, it is
a promising alternative to supply heat at intermediate temperature thermal needs between 100 °C to
200 °C. The yearly energy delivery of the Doha Collector is 75-80% compared to less than 20% for
most efficient PV panels available in the market. The thermal efficiency of the Doha Collector is
comparable to that of the evacuated collectors. The has a great potential for reducing the land foot
print by almost 50% and energy production cost by 50-60%, with a real possibility to deliver energy
round the clock due to integration with thermal energy storage and solid waste reactors.

4- GREEN PYRAMIDS
Globally, it has been estimated by the Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) that by 2050 the world
will need to produce 100% more calories (for all uses) than it does today, and that at least 70% of
this increase must come from technology applications rather than new farm land into production. To
meet this challenge, which is driven by population growth, resource scarcity and changing lifestyles
of the developing world, we need another “Green Revolution”. This will need to be at a scale similar
to what we have seen in post-war industrialization of agriculture, which brought together farm
mechanization, petrochemical fertilizers, plant biotechnology and irrigation as the key technologies
that drove farm production to the levels of today. Food security will require new technology options,
which minimizes water and energy consumption, especially in arid and semiarid regions, and
securing these resources in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to take them to market
application.
As the Sustainability Development Goals (SDG) has set ambitious targets for increasing food
production globally, there is a fundamental need for new technologies to feed the growing
populations, with the aim to be at the cutting edge of using new science and technologies.
In this context, the IEU is strongly willing to introduce innovative solutions and advance promising
technologies that provide sustainable energy, wastewater treatment and recycling in the industry
and irrigation as well as introducing cost affordable and reliable solutions for augmenting food
production while minimizing the environmental impacts of energy and water treatment.
The IEU’s strategic vision focuses on the linkages and mutual dependencies between energy,
water, and food on local, regional and global levels. IEU, as a Swiss company with forefront
technologies in renewable energy and water treatment as well as unique business models, can
contribute remarkably to the WEF Nexus and Sustainability Development Goals through
development and implementation of extensive technical solutions.
The GREEN PYRAMIDS invention is one example of the IEU innovative solutions. The invention is
directed to construct a new concept for integration of solar PV energy generation, large scale
energy storage, and sustainable food production with Multifunctional Football Stadia, business
centers and commercial buildings. The “GREEN PYRAMIDS ” invention aims at enhancing water,

energy and food sustainability measures in hot climates. It will also help to drastically reduce the
energy requirements for cooling, heating, and ventilation of the stadia together with many important
benefits for enhancing energy and water use efficiency in food production and modern agro
industrial communities. This model can be adopted for green cities around Middle East and North
Africa (MENA) as well as other parts of the world with favorable renewable energy potential to
produce energy, water, and food in a sustainable way.

4- EFFICIENT DISTRICT COOLING
Air cooling is the biggest consumer of With around 60-80% of electricity used for air conditioning,
and up to 100% of potable water production being supplied by desalination plants in hot arid
countries around the world, sustaining life in such climatic conditions is uniquely energy intensive.
As District Cooling Plants (DCPs) have a potential to reduce energy consumption and CO2
emissions, many hot countries are continuously shifting paradigm towards adoption of DCPs to
satisfy the rapidly growing demand. However, DCPs usually rely on wet cooling towers for disposing
excess heat to the ambient. Thus the heat disposal is accompanied by considerable loss of fresh
water, a common problem in hot arid countries with highest demand for air cooling and also relies
on costly and energy intensive desalination processes for securing fresh water supply. In addition,
evaporative cooling devices and wet cooling towers can spread humidifier fever, a serious health
risk with similar symptoms as mild influenza, and Legionella, which can be deadly. Hence huge
evaporation loss in densely populated urban centers in hot regions is an environmental issue which
necessitates effective and affordable solutions.

The innovative technology involves a hybrid district cooling and desalination with zero liquid
discharge (ZLD). The new technology is a totally new concept that maximizes water and energy use
efficiency in district cooling plants and preserving the environment. The system closes the water
and energy processes, where waste energy and waste water is recycled in a closed circuit. The
system can deal with different sources of feed water quality including sweater, brackish water, and
treated sewage effluents (TSE).
The new technology reduces energy consumption by 30% and water consumption by more than
50%. The technology can save considerable amounts of fresh water and electrical power together
with associated huge reduction of CO2 emissions.
The whole system can be driven partially or fully by the unique innovative solar and solid waste
systems developed at the IEU, as elaborated earlier, providing more energy efficiency and carbon
free dimensions to supply these services in a sustainable way.
