London-June 23 2009
Evoasis was honored to be invited by Masdar City to display our EVSTAT station designs in the Eco Transport Showcase at the Future Energy Forum 09 in Bilbao, Spain earlier this month. Evoasis has been invited to work with Masdar to investigate the feasibility of building an Evstat Service Station on the entrance to Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, UAE next year, to support the city in their electric transport infrastructure. Masdar City, the world’s first sustainable city to be built from the ground up features solar, wind, thermal and eco transport technologies, while supporting a population of 145,000 residents and workers in a 7 kilometer square “Oasis”. Masdar is well underway with Phase I completion expected in mid-2010 and has been supported by the government of Abu Dhabi and Mubadala Investments, who manage a UAE sovereign fund to promote green tech investing, strategic development, future city planning and technical implementation. Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) , is working closely with other institutes of higher learning and post-graduate research and fellowship programs, which include Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Michigan, to name just a couple.

Spanish cider made the whole room turn blue; guess it's the wine that makes you turn green but nobody seemed to mind

Stay tuned for further news from Evoasis and Masdar City. We will be seeing them again shortly on their own “turf” and it’s going to be a big green apple for sure! Next stop Dublin, Ireland where I think the room turns brown from the Guiness, or maybe it just turns…we’ll see. It’s about to get a lot greener there as well so stay tuned.
