The Association of Renewable Energy Generators (AGER) is a non-profit founded in 2002 to promote renewable energy research, education, and use in Guatemala. It unites private sector individuals and entities generating electricity from new and renewable sources, establishing unified criteria on sector-related issues. AGER’s partners represent over 1,113 MW of operational and planned projects, plus institutions and professionals supporting renewable energy research and supply.

National Association of Generators

We are the Association that represents the private sector energy generation in Guatemala. We were founded in 2000 as an apolitical entity, without religious or lucrative interests. We currently represent more than 70% of the generation in the entire country. Our partners generate energy with renewable, thermal and biomass sources.

Molten salt technology is attracting major R&D efforts and is emerging in the circular economy. It is leading advances in renewable electricity generation and heat storage as a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional technologies.

Molten salts are defined as salts that have been liquefied by heating, consisting of cations and anions in a concentrated solution without solvents at elevated temperatures. They include alkali halides, nitrates, sulfates, and other compounds, with their structure and properties predominantly influenced by long-ranged coulombic interactions.

The IDDP Iceland Deep Drilling Project was founded in the year 2000 by a consortium of three Icelandic energy companies: (Hitaveita Sudurnesja (HS) (since 2008: HS Orka hf), Landsvirkjun (LV) and Orkuveita Reykjavíkur (OR)), and Orkustofnun (OS), the National Energy Authority of Iceland. The consortium began by preparing the drilling of a 4-5 km deep drill hole into one of its high-temperature hydrothermal system in order to reach 400-600°C hot supercritical hydrous fluid at a rifted plate margin on a mid-ocean ridge. A feasibility report was completed in 2003. The IDDP is a long term research and development project which will take a decade or two to conclude. As yet, IDDP is therefore not an alternative solution to meet energy demand in the near or intermediate future.

What is Green Ammonia & Hydrogen

Green hydrogen — hydrogen produced through the electrolysis of water with renewable energy — is a proven technology with vastly underappreciated potential to decarbonize large sectors of the global economy.
