RENEWABLE ENERGY
In 2010, SMCS Group was offered an opportunity to enter the renewable energy space, and formed a joint venture partnership with renewable energy company, Global Green International Investments (GGII). The vision was to use GGII’s patented Advanced Fast Pyrolysis technology, to contribute to the conversion of the world’s vast quantities of solid wastes generated each year, into clean and renewable energy, as the world moved towards net zero emissions.
With a focus on South East Asia, SMCS Group and Global Green International Investments combine to deliver bankable, low-risk turnkey waste-to-energy projects that produce carbon negative, renewable clean energy, that is environmentally, socially and financially sustainable.
Today, our renewable energy vision spans across South East Asia through our joint venture company, Green Energy Investment Mekong (GEI Mekong) and via non-operating ventures in Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
