Infrastructure Solutions
Albion has prepared a number of customizable solutions based on the most common requests from our clients and summarized them below. Please note these are not the only solutions we offer. Any infrastructure project may be developed and financed under proper conditions. Contact Albion with any infrastructure ideas you may have in mind.
Renewable Energy Power Plants
We can fund and build renewable energy power utility plants on behalf of our client. These plants will use a combination of renewable resource collection systems, such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, waste-to-energy, biomass, and others. The precise technologies and mix of those technologies are selected after an engineering study to select the best method to harvest the local resources.
There are two types of renewable energy power plants that can be provided:
- The current standard, which provide supplemental power to the baseline power plants. These renewable energy plants provide varying levels of power subject to the variations in the renewable resource (day/night cycles, variable winds, etc.). These are the type currently built worldwide and are well understood. These still require traditional power plants (coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, etc.) to provide power when the renewable resource fades.
- The advanced system, which is the direction the industry is moving, combines the proven technology of an oversized current standard system with the addition of utility-scale batteries, hydrogen-from-water electrolysis, and hydrogen-powered generators. These create power plants that provide fully controllable power available 24/7, just like a typical fossil fuel plant - only without the pollution. These can be new and replacement power plants that do not need traditional power plants to back them up.
Either system may be constructed and financed. We welcome all discussions to determine the size, number, and locations of the desired power plants.
Waste-to-Energy Plants
Waste-to-Energy power plants (WTE) use well-developed technology and construction methods. The WTE collects the trash and combustible bio-waste from the surrounding area and burns it to produce electrical power and/or process heat. Advanced emission controls reduce pollution, typically below the levels created by simply dumping the trash into a landfill. The WTE usually integrates well with the existing trash collection system and improves recycling and other operations. Additionally, if the existing collection system is underdeveloped, the WTE project can include upgrades and expansion of the older system to bring it up to standards.
The amount of energy a WTE plant can generate depends on a number of factors, but the rule of thumb is 1 megawatt of continuous power for each 10,000 people in the local population. We use well-established USA and European designs that can be sized for small towns of a few thousand up to cities of a million or more people. Since the needs, size, and trash composition of each city and town are unknown, we coordinate closely with the national government and local officials to determine the optimal sizes and locations of these facilities.
Fully Equipped Hospitals
Albion can provide modular, high-quality hospitals with all the standard equipment, built in the USA, and shipped globally to any location. It will be built to full modern standards as typically found in the USA, with full surgical suites, CT imaging, laboratory facilities, and proper separation of patients in rooms.
The modularity of the design allows for several benefits:
- USA prefabrication maintains fabrication high quality and long service life;
- Full customization is possible by adjusting the mix of modules to suit the unique requirements of the client; and
- The hospitals are standardized, which allows medical and maintenance staff to work easily at any facility.
We recommend the use of this modular system for most installations. However, the option exists for particularly strong construction using traditional on-site methods in areas with elevated natural disaster rates. Albion and the prime contractors will coordinate with the client to determine the best method.
Fully Accredited USA Charter Technical University
Albion has a global charter to establish branch campuses for a USA Technical University. This can be acquired as its own project. However, upon the initiation of one or more utility-class renewable energy plants, Albion will fund, build, and operate a branch campus of this technical university at no cost.
This university has developed a patented, online Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that may teach better, and certainly more efficiently, than a human teacher can. This AI learns what works best for each student and tailors its method of instruction to each student. The system normally will only call in a human instructor when the student's progress is noticeably poor.
The coursework is offered online, so classroom attendance is not required (although it is available) and the student can learn anywhere they have internet access. Scholarships and computer loan programs are provided by the University. Computer software engineering courses are the primary offerings to overseas students, as these are typically the fastest route to economic prosperity. Other course offerings may be established after discussions with the client and a needs analysis of the local population. The student will earn 15 USA college credits in 600 hours of work, which can be finished in months.
This University has graduated thousands of students into well-paid jobs. In the USA these jobs start at about $60,000 to $75,000 annually. As a significant amount of programming work can be done remotely, incomes approaching these levels may be earned almost anywhere on Earth.
Fresh Water development
Several of the consortium companies have extensive experience in the location and development of fresh water. This includes developing supplies from aquifers, rivers, impoundments, and the oceans. Various specialized capabilities, such as desalinization, ozonation/UV sterilization, and other beneficial technologies are readily included in the water systems.
