SHARC Energy Joins Canadian Trade Mission to Promote Its Wastewater Energy-Recovery Technology in Brazil - Seite 2

Brazil is opening up to foreign wastewater technology companies to improve its wastewater infrastructure. “In July 2020, the Brazilian parliament approved a new legal framework for the sector that promises to change the game and revert the decade’s long gap in investment,” reports Switzerland Global Enterprise. “More than half of all wastewater of the country is not properly disposed of.”

SHARC Energy’s wastewater energy recovery technology — which recovers the heat from wastewater that is sent down the drain — is already being used in Canada, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. Designed for both individual buildings and district energy systems, SHARC Energy’s technology is highly scalable and is being applied to both new and retrofitted projects.

SHARC Energy also announced this week it was one of only nine companies selected for the five-month Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) program, which will focus on similar business opportunities in Southeast Asia through a series of virtual meetings with ASEAN business leaders in the clean-tech space.

The Brazil Trade mission is being hosted by Global Affairs Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service, led by the Cleantech Trade Commissioner based out of the Consulate General of Canada in São Paulo, Brazil, in partnership with Ontario’s Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, the Quebec Office in São Paulo, Investissement Quebec International and the Chamber of Commerce Brazil-Canada (CCBC). Brazil’s Ministry of Environment is among the public entities participating in the B2B matchmaking program.

Brazilian companies that are engaged in the trade mission include but are not limited to Engemon, Armstrong Fluid Technology, the largest state-run water and sanitation company, Sabesp, the largest private water and sanitation company, Brookfield-owned BRK Ambiental, and RRS Serviços.
