OET will be participating the World Future Energy Summit, that will take place between 16-18 January 2023, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, UAE. Looking forward to meeting you at our booth at Hall No.8, Stand No.8400. More information available here.

Love, Sun, Energy….A heart full of Greek “green” energy! In this triptych develops the recent artistic creation of the lawyer, ….and visual artist Alexandras Gogousis, which was presented at the Art Thessaloniki event at TIF (3-6/11).

“I’ve been creating iron hearts for years. At the same time, as a lawyer, I have specialized in the energy sector. So I combined my occupations, conveying at the same time a message: Let’s use alternative sources of energy. A heart full of energy is a strong heart, a heart full of love. I’m interested in technology and follow the developments”, emphasizes Mrs. Gogoussi.

Behind or rather inside this heart lies a literally brilliant success story. As bright as the sun that shines hundreds of days a year in our country.

The Greek 3rd generation photovoltaics are printed, very light, flexible, translucent, protect from harmful UV radiation and are produced in Tagarades in the world’s first production unit, by the Greek company Organic Electronic Technologies.

The applications of the third generation Greek translucent photovoltaics are many. They are wearables and are integrated into clothes, bags, buildings, windows, awnings and generally on every small and large surface, creating a perfect aesthetic effect, they are environmentally friendly and contribute to sustainability and the circular economy.

One of the recent pioneering uses of Greek 3rd generation photovoltaics is their integration into the roofs of greenhouses. Agrovoltaics are the answer to reducing the cost of food production not only in Greece, but all over the world, since their use drastically reduces the cost of energy, water consumption (with hydroponic cultivation) and saves the use of land .

An iron heart full of “green” energy and creators like Alexandra Gogoussi who are inspired by technology and Greek achievements, “gives” its own “answer” to the energy problem caused by the war in Ukraine.

OET will be attending the 29th International Agricultural Fair “Agrotica 2022”, which will be taking place between October 20-28, at the Thessaloniki International Exhibition & Congress Centre.

AGRIVOLTAICS 2022

Following the success of the Special Workshop on Agrivoltaics organized in the frame of NANOTEXNOLOGY 2022 and ISFOE, in Thessaloniki on 7th of Jul 2022, HOPE-A and LTFN are organizing the AGRIVOLTAICS 2022 Conference in parallel to ICEFPE22. The Event will take place on 11th-12th of October in Divani Caravel Hotel in Athens with Key Speakers from these Emerging Technologies.

European Union set the target to produce 30% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030, although nearly every stage of food supply chain relies on fossil fuel energy. Thus, a higher demand for food production would most certainly mean an increase in fossil fuel use and, as a result, greater greenhouse gas emissions. Agrivoltaics is an emerging field that combines the most innovative Renewable Energy solution of Semitransparent Organic Photovoltaics with Agriculture in order to lead a sustainable farming process and crop growth by optimizing the use of arable land.

Agrivoltaics is a sustainable economic model of farming that has strong growth prospects with respect for the environment and is supposed to increase land use efficiency. Indeed, Agri-PV will show a noteworthy growing more than 20GW in 2022 with an increase ratio close to 40%.

In the coming years we expect such Greenhouse and open cultivations to be transformed into sustainable food production units and power plants for self-consumption, and then sale of electricity and grid connected, creating wealth and prosperity in local communities. Thus, not only will it solve the huge energy problems, creating many high-paying jobs and many new young farmers-entrepreneurs, but also it will reduce irrigation needs, water consumption, energy needs and gas emissions, while increasing crop yield.
