COVID Pandemic & Ukraine War Impact

High input prices and Ukraine war elongate high food prices, creating a double burden for import-dependent countries.

According to FAO’s latest report (June 2022), Global Input Price Index (GIPI) rising much faster than food prices (both are at all-time highs), farmers are disincentivized to increase production, possibly protracting high prices in food markets.

Precision Agriculture

Site Specific Crop Management (SSCM) 

References: USDAUSDA-NALUN-FAOUN-DESA; 

Internet of Things (IoT)-based automation of agricultural events can change the agriculture sector from being static and manual to dynamic and smart, leading to enhanced production with reduced human efforts. Precision Agriculture (PA) along with Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are the main drivers of automation in the agriculture domain.

Precision Agriculture uses specific sensors and software to ensure that the crops receive exactly what & when they need to optimize productivity and sustainability. PA includes retrieving real data about the conditions of soil, crops and weather from the sensors deployed in the fields. High-resolution images of crops are obtained from satellite or air-borne platforms (manned or unmanned), which are processed to extract information used to provide SMART decisions.

Precision Agriculture

Site Specific Crop Management (SSCM) Partial Components

Satellite-Based Auto-Guidance - Satellite-based auto-guidance systems can provide significant benefits for the crop production industry. Improved equipment make it possible to use satellite-based auto guidance in diverse growing environments.

Yield Monitoring and Mapping - Yield mapping refers to the process of collecting georeferenced data on crop yield and characteristics, such as moisture content, while the crop is being harvested. Various methods, using a range of sensors, have been developed for mapping crop yields.

On-the-Go Vehicle-Based Soil Sensors  - Sensors can measure a variety of soil properties. These sensors are used in conjunction with GPS to develop field maps or to control variable rate application equipment in real-time.

Site-Specific Management of Soil pH - A series of frequently asked questions (FAQs) are addressed.

Soil Sampling for Precision Agriculture - Soil sampling is an important component of a site-specific management system. Sampling principles and recommendations are discussed.

Site-Specific Nitrogen Management for Irrigated Corn - Recent research in site-specific nitrogen management and recommendations for how irrigated corn producers might implement this technology on their farms.

SSCM Partial Benefits

·       Enhanced product quality

·       Increased agricultural profitability and sustainability

·       Protecting the environment

·       Optimized use of agricultural pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, water, energy and other crop amendments

·       Improving the well-being of those who depend upon agriculture

Onsite Renewable Power

Renewable Power: Geothermal; Solar; Water; Wind;



Group Research Theme (Since 2009): Agro-Energy Combined with Renewable Energy Transition

Deliverable: Regional Clusters (Trade and Productive Capacity)

Renewable Energy Supply Chain Strategy

Energy & Water Source: Geothermal

Project Focus: Geothermal Energy Supply Chain   

Purpose: Support Communities with Skills Development Programs to align technology with market needs

Products: Components of Geophysical Equipment; Turbines; Electrolysis; Generator Sets; Feed Pumps; Condenser Fan Systems; Air Filters; Air-Cooled Condensers; Heat Exchangers; Preheater; Vaporizer Sets

Geothermal Resource is unique in its Formation, each with its own Chemical Composition; Depth; Enthalpy; Temperature (CCDET); and Integrated Design. 

As of 2020, Geothermal Energy capacity has grown to 15,950 MWe, and 95,098 GWh of electricity produced in 29 countries. These power plants operate with an average capacity factor of 73%, many of them “on-line” over 95% of the time, providing almost continuous base-load power. 

(Source: Oregon Institute of Technology; John W. Lund; January 2022-SSRN Electronic Journal; DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4059005)

Geothermal Energy is virtually emission-free, renewable energy resource generated from geothermal natural underground reservoirs of hot water; miles beneath the earth surface, heated by Magma. The Steam and Brine produced from these underground reservoirs is used to run turbines to produce electricity.

Industrial Market

Geothermal Power Plants Types

·      Dry Steam Plants use steam directly from a geothermal reservoir to turn generator turbines. The first geothermal power plant was built in 1904 in Tuscany, Italy, where natural steam erupted from the earth.
·      Flash Steam Plants take high-pressure hot water from deep inside the earth and convert it to steam to drive generator turbines. When the steam cools, it condenses to water and is injected back into the ground to be used again. Most geothermal power plants are flash steam plants.

·      Binary Cycle Power Plants transfer the heat from geothermal hot water to another liquid. The heat causes the second liquid to turn to steam, which is used to drive a generator turbine.

Commercial & Residential Markets

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Energy Efficient and Cost Effective

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Geothermal Heat Pumps are the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective systems for heating and cooling buildings. All types of buildings, including homes, office buildings, schools, and hospitals, can use geothermal heat pumps.

Focused Markets

Depending on its characteristics, Geothermal Energy can be utilized across Industrial; Commercial; and Residential sectors. Geothermal energy offers important benefits, including Grid Stability; Greater Diversity of Affordable Energy Options; Efficient Heating and Cooling; Key Technology and Workforce Pathways from oil and gas to renewable geothermal development; and Lower Carbon Emissions.
