Eurogen's globally unique technologies produce renewable electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy from a moving body of water, the energy that results from its motion. Since water is 832 times denser than air, free-flowing rivers represent an untapped, powerful, highly-concentrated and clean energy resource.Most river currents flow at relatively low velocities and in order to commercialize these it was necessary to develop a new technology that could function effectively in these circumstances. The past 7 years have been spent developing, refining and modifying the unique range of Eurogen Power technologies to the point where the commercialization process can now begin.The Eurogen Power Station is not a propeller based generator nor is it a fixed structure buried in the river bed. Eurogen Power technology requires little or no civil engineering works, no permanent and unsightly visual change to the environment, no environmental impact on flora and fauna, no physical threat to birds, animals or humans.The Eurogen Power Station has been uniquely designed to harness the energy contained in river or ocean currents, and converting that energy to electricity totally pollution free with zero emissions. River currents have enormous potential energy constantly replenished by rain, snow melts, groundwater and gravitational energy. Many authoritative sources suggest that the energy available from river and ocean currents can supply all the energy requirements of the civilized world for the future.The Eurogen power station is a modular design allowing it to be readily transportable, enabling decentralised deployment, and utilises totally benign non-polluting technologies. Eurogen technology may be the only true base load generator of renewable energy that can deliver electricity 100% of the time.
