Our 4 core technology competencies

• ACG’s core competencies cover four key technology areas: hydrogen and fuel cells, solar power, smart grid, and wind.
• If your company is active anywhere in the supply chains of these technologies, from materials through to systems, end users and professional services providers – we invite you to join our Cleantech Meeting Space and connect to potential clients and partners from around the world.

Hydrogen and fuel cells
Hydrogen and fuel cells can play a vital role in low carbon energy systems. The technology is applicable to a wide range of applications, from portable electronics, to cars, homes and power plants. Whilst fuel cell markets are immature, governments and industries around the world have invested heavily in developing the technology, which is starting to make inroads in mainstream markets.

Smart grids
As the technologies and format of electricity generation evolve, so too are those supporting its distribution. ‘Smart’ grids combine monitoring, analysis, control, and communication capabilities with more traditional electricity distribution, increasing overall system efficiency and enabling greater integration of clean energy technologies.

Solar power
Solar power has been the fastest growing form of renewable energy over the past decade. Long supported by generous government subsidies, and benefiting from significant progress in materials science and production methods, some forms of solar power have become cost competitive in their own right. Today, solar power is a fiercely competitive and thoroughly international business.

Wind power
Modern wind turbines bear little resemblance to their historical predecessors. Advanced materials, aerodynamics, electronic controls and system optimization techniques allow today’s turbines to individually produce a megawatt or more, on land or on sea. At the other end of the scale, wind energy is commonly used for micro and remote applications.
