Report Update

Azelio’s Q1 report summary with a video interview with Azelio’s CEO, Jonas Eklind                   

Apr - 2019

A positive first quarter for Azelio

Azelio has started 2019 according to plan. Important elements of this are the preparations for the verification project in Morocco during the fourth quarter of this year, as well as the concretization of the extensive inquiries from potential customers after Azelio's storage technology was demonstrated last summer. During the quarter, Azelio's agreement with Chinese Datang Holdings New Energy Technologies has been extended, a sign that the technology is attractive for the progressive Chinese market. Azelio has also been well received by the World Bank and the European Commission for its sustainable solutions. Following the end of the period, a MOU was signed with Pakistani JD Aviation on cooperation for reliable and sustainable electricity supply in Pakistan.

Organisation development

Azelio's unique energy storage now also for solar PV and wind power

May - 2019

In June 2018, Azelio unveiled its energy storage technology, which enables the provision of electricity from renewables around the clock. That technology is based on a thermal energy storage system developed by Azelio, which features a Stirling engine for dispatchable electricity production. The solution is adapted to solar regions and used particularly in areas where the electricity grid is either unstable or entirely lacking. With a new important development Azelio has broadened the range of uses of its unique technology, so that electricity from a wider range of renewable sources can be received and stored as thermal energy. Given the importance of storage to the broader development of renewables, Azelio believes that this development for receiving electricity to its thermal energy storage with dispatchable power around the clock, is of significance.

Azelio presents its energy storage technology to the World Bank and IFC in Washington

May - 2019

Azelio was on Friday (31/5) at the World Bank and IFC (International Financial Corporation, part of the World Bank Group) in Washington to present its unique energy storage technology with sustainable electricity production around the clock. The World Bank has recently announced major investments in energy storage to strengthen existing and planned installations for solar and wind energy, especially in developing countries where large parts of the population lack access to an electricity grid. In February this year, Azelio was invited by the World Bank to a strategy conference in South Africa to discuss solutions for increased access to renewable energy. As a result of the conference, Azelio now presented its solution to financial and technical specialists at the World Bank in Washington.

Seleced media

Svenska Dagblaldet does a big coverage on solar power, Azelio’s key partner Masen and the site for Azelio’s verification projects in late 2019

A sales agent agreement is signed with Pansanté for renewable electricity as a distributed sustainable baseload for off-grid hospitals in Africa

May – 2019

Azelio offers distributed long-term energy storage with dispatchable electricity production. Hospitals require a continuous supply of electricity and cannot rely on solutions with uneven production that are dependent on intermittent sources as sun or wind. The alternative for a reliable off grid electricity baseload has been diesel generators that are expensive with high emissions. For a normal-sized off-grid hospital in central Africa, Azelio can reduce the use of diesel by 80-85 % and work in system with other renewable technologies. With an installation of 2.2 MW of Azelio's solution for a hospital, 5,000 cubic meters of diesel can be replaced with sustainable electricity annually. A reduction of 14,000 tons of CO2e. In addition, Azelio's produced electricity is half the cost to diesel generated electricity per kWh.

"This setup fits Azelio’s solution perfectly, as a distributed sustainable baseload. Azelio's and Pansante’s ambitions for sustainable development go hand in hand, and we are very proud of this collaboration", says Jonas Eklind, CEO of Azelio.
