Extracts from Mauritius newspapers
Xenesys has translated several extracts from several Mauritius newspapers which I am posting in full here:
January 9, 2005 Newspaper "Week end " - Ocean Energy to produce electricity.
[Article extract] OTEC should be the main attraction of the fair held at Free Port Center. Considered as a revolutionary system for production of renewable energy, the Uehara Cycle surpasses the traditional one by 50 to 70 percent. The system introduced by IOES and many of those who attended the fair predict a bright future for the small developing islands with this "revolution" in the field of energy. Mauritian Authorities show high interest in this project. And some discussions seemed to have been launched with Government of Japan for the allocation of a loan of RS one billion in order to start this project. Several sites would have been already identified around the Island and in the neighboring Islands.Pr. Uehara pointed out " I lived without electricity until graduated from middle school , so I understood how precious energy is. I want to eliminate gaps between countries with energy resources and those without them.January 8, 2005 le’ Express - Sea is unlimited resource of renewable clean energy, you just have to exploit it.
[Article extract] Basically, Small Island Developing States can enjoy unlimited sea water quantity that should solve their problem of energy. At Free Port Exhibition Center, a Japanese University is demonstrating a reduced model of Uehara cycle, the top in the field of thermal energy conversion. According to the student searcher at the University, they are now at experimental stage but thanks to partnership support of Xenesys company they expect to trade the system within less than five years. In the past extension of the system was handicapped by its high cost however the Prof. predicts the viability of the system owing to other available derivated applications. A panel of UNDP experts is at present working on the study of the system. Its conclusion is vital with regard to the size of the project that requires foreign finance.
