MARMARİS - A delegation including several scientists, researchers and engineers from the German city of Fürth visited Marmaris last week to begin work on a joint project on renewable energy with the Marmaris Municipality.
The project is a developed center on solar energy, thermal energy and bio-gas. During the three day long program, the German delegation was first taken to the Marmaris Dam, the waste water treatment plant and the domestic waste system and given technical information.
The electricity engineer Hakan Öner of the Municipal Union of Marmaris, Armutalan, Beldibi and İçmeler districts, or Mariç-Belbir, explained they were searching for the cheapest way to provide electricity for their facilities.
’Unique beauty’
"We also care that Marmaris has a unique beauty around it. It must be a renewable energy source for us. Our German colleagues recommend we use the domestic waste and the mud of the sewage disposal systems. But, solar energy here is the most precious element at the moment for us. We are planning to transfer the solar energy technology after the needed regulations in the energy law, maybe in a year’s time," Öner said.
Dr. Hans Partheimüller, general manager of İnfra, a company in Fürth for infrastructural services, pointed out that Marmaris had a huge richness of solar energy. "But, there are some other eco-friendly energy sources that Marmaris could use, such as bio-gas. We are sure Marmaris could be a good example for conservation electric power and we, as their German twin city, are ready to support them with any technology that can adapted here."
