Description

Our company is committed to promoting renewable energy sources, including production of energy from PV installations. The project is a natural progression of the company’s activities in implementing ecological solutions in the region of Warmia and Mazury. It stems from our desire to implement eco-innovation in tourism as this is expected by customers, and to take advantage of the region’s assets. The project introduces an ecological recreational and sports equipment rental service in the Great Masurian Lakes area.

In the course of project development we prepared the concept of the application of RES on boats to promote sustainable boating. An innovative PV panel system will be used as an alternative energy source. Wind turbines will be key in generating renewable energy used to power the energy bank day and night when sunlight is unavailable or scarce. Energy will be produced both while sailing and while stationing in port. The mixed charging system for the energy bank will make it possible to use both solar and wind energy which is more available on water than in a developed area. This solution will provide significant energy autonomy for the boats and the house on water for rent.

The project includes the purchase of 4 pedal boats, a house on the water and 3 houseboats powered by energy from renewable sources. A closed water cycle and wastewater treatment plant on board will ensure water conservation, and the equipment charter will be totally environmentally neutral. We will cooperate with a scientific unit to develop the most economical boat propulsion (a combination of a hybrid engine, PV panels and wind turbines). It is estimated that annual CO2 emissions will decrease by 3.17 tons.
