Following energy solutions are installed for COP 22:
GIRAFFE 2.0
installed at The Regional Observatory for the Environment and Sustainable Development of Marrakesh
(L’observatoire régional de l'environnement et du développement durable de Marrakech)
GIRAFFE 2.0 is a hybrid wind-solar energy station, carport and EV charger designed and produced by InnoVentum. Special positioning of PV panels allows for stable energy production – providing solar energy during at least four (!) additional hours compared to a classic PV mounting.
In a good windy location (6m/s average wind speed), the GIRAFFE 2.0 is able to produce 13 800 kWh per year – providing energy during most hours of the day, all year round.
The wood used for the GIRAFFE 2.0 construction, as well as the ground screw foundation, considerably reduce carbon footprint of the installation, making the balance of carbon dioxide 4+ tons CO2 negative – even before any renewable energy is produced.
