SOCIAL IMPACT
The deployment of the POLYPHEM technology in the regions of interest is expected to contribute to the supply of electricity on-demand through mini-grids and to water supply when co-generation is implemented. Local communities who live in isolated and arid regions will therefore benefit from this technology. Employment in Europe and in the regions of interest is also expected to be favored. The construction of future POLYPHEM plants can create about 1000 jobs which will benefit to SMEs, half of them being located in EU and the rest will be created in the regions of implementation.
The jobs correspond to the following sectors:
- Engineering, development and financing
- Manufacturing and delivery of components
- Construction of plants, installation and commissioning
- Operation and maintenance
