Israeli Expertise

Israel has become a leading center of innovation in the alternative energy and Clean tech sectors. Following are some examples of Israeli innovation in these areas:

1. Solel was the first to develop and install the world’s largest-scale solar-powered and fully functional electricity generating plant.
2. A first plant for the annual desalination of 100 million cubic meters of seawater is currently under construction inIsrael, using the technology of the Israeli company IDE the pioneer world wide in water desalination. This will be operated by reverse osmosis technology at the lowest price ever achieved for a desalination process.
3. The biggest ever solar collector’s site, erected on the Island of Crete, was installed by the Israeli company CHROMAGEN - an industry leader in the field of thermal solar energy systems.
4. ArrowEcology has developed the most advanced method for treating municipal solid waste (MSW) called the Biological Treatment of Unsorted MSW recycling over 90% of the original waste. The company transforms the organic fraction of the waste (approximately 37% of the total solid waste) into valuable, saleable and cash-generating products. Advantages include no sorting of the waste, shorter time to complete the conversion process, automatic separation of recyclable matters such as glass and plastics.
5. A new concept for solar-powered desalination has been developed by Rotem Industries. The revolutionary product eliminates the phase of electricity generation by using solar thermal energy directly for distillation by evaporation.
6. Vortex Ecological Technologies has developed a cost-effective pollution control technology for industrial manufacturing plants. The patented technology effectively captures both particle and gas pollutants, leaving air cleaner and increasing productivity, improving manufacturing processes and reducing maintenance costs.
7. Using magnetism, UniqKleen has produced a revolutionary single process, all-inclusive removal of toxic organic substances to treat industrial wastewater.
8. Motorola Israel developed a water-saving irrigation system that communicates remotely with a central irrigation control system to be used in regulating water in city parks, municipal water supply systems as well as rural areas.
9. A research team at the Technion discovered a method for improving the efficiency of solar-hydrogen fuel cells, which raises the potential for their use in non-polluting cars. This not only drastically reduces the use of oil but could solve much of the problems plaguing current electric vehicles such as recharging, weight, pollution and short battery life.
10. The first environment-friendly bus was developed in a joint Israeli-American project. The Electric Fuel Battery Corporation, a subsidiary of Arotech produced the first zinc-air battery for the vehicles, the main energy base. The all-electric buses reduce gas emissions, and save money and energy.
11. A new method for on-site disposal of all medical waste and biologically contaminated materials has been developed by MCM. The system is safe, does not release atmospheric emissions and waste does not need to be stored for long periods. Furthermore, untreated waste does not have to be transported on public roads and waste volume is reduced by some 90%.
12. Israel recycles up to 70% of the sewage water for greenery and non food crops.
13. Small scale desalination and water treatment has been developed by Nirosoft, which supplies tailored water treatment systems. The company supplies a wide range of water treatment plans with industrial applications, drinking water production and irrigation purposes.
