GECO
GLOBAL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTIONS s.r.l.
AN INNOVATIVE PMI FOR THE ENERGY TRANSITION
WITH THE PROJECT
SEWAT
(Sustainable Energy by Waves Trap)
or hydroelectric power from the sea
Why?:
The actual high use of energy derived from fossil fuels is necessary to guarantee the current level of quality of life in the developed countries and it allows the growth and evolution of developing countries, but it creates a disequilibrium in the natural balance of the planet.
The use of fossil fuels has countless consequences, such as the accumulation of CO2.
Attention should also be paid to the atmospheric oxygen consumption and the irreversible "creation" of "combustion" water, which increases the planet's water resources and contributes, together with the melting of glaciers, to the rise in sea levels.
New energy strategies must be sought in order to avoid reaching irreversible and catastrophic effects on environmental disequilibrium.
The survival of the planet requires that future development be totally and truly sustainable. This implies the progressive renunciation of fossil energy by providing energy supply, in a sustainable way, from renewable sources.
The energy possessed by sea waves is a fully and truly sustainable form of energy which, if appropriately captured, could contribute to meeting energy needs.
IN A SHORT TIME IT IS NECESSARY:
REDUCE THE USE OF FOSSIL ENERGY
INCREASING THE USE OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
SEA WAVES ARE AN ENERGY RESERVE WHOSE ENERGY IS CONSTANTLY WASTED CAUSING COASTAL EROSION
WITH SEWAT WE WANT TO EXPLOIT IT
SEWAT PRODUCES SUSTAINABLE ENERGY BY REPLICATING THE NATURAL SCENARIO OF CRASHING WAVES IN AN ORDERLY AND HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE WAY

Maintenance only concerns the panels with the mobile gates and the turbogenerators. On-site operations consist of the rapid replacement of the assemblies for workshop maintenance. Maintenance operations do not require production downtime.
the business is the low-cost sale of sustainable energy and green hydrogen
revenue growth follows scalability and replicability
the unit cost of energy is reduced with modularity and scalability
the sustainable energy business is not afraid of crisis
the green hydrogen market is in its infancy and is growing

GECO - Global Engineering Constructions was founded in 2001. Since 2019, it has been registered as an Innovative SME, having focused its activities exclusively on the development of the SEWAT project.
All operations related to the construction of the SEWAT prototype were entrusted to specialized companies in the sector that possessed the requisites required by the particular nature of the works.
