Small-scale transport forms 50% of all road-traffic in Sub-Saharan Africa (McKinsey,2023), and +80% of Pacific island communities own a motorbike (ImpactEntrpreneur) which can be electrified economically and quickly to save ~253 million-tonnes of carbon emissions (CO2e) per year (OurWorldinData). Small-scale transport electrification in large parts of Africa and the Pacific however is held-back by inadequate electricity grid capacity. Fossil-fuel generators are increasingly called-upon to fill the gaps in intermittent-grid electricity supply, and to service off-grid electric vehicle (EV) charging.Project Zephattan will showcase the potential of three scalable zero-emission wind-based generator technologies in Côte d'Ivoire and Fiji to supply sufficient power to charge ~400 e-mobility batteries/day suitable for electric motorbikes/scooters, small boat outboards and drones. The project will demonstrate wind-generators' readiness to power remote and off-grid African and Pacific island electricity needs, and can save ~500-tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions in six-months of field testing.British SME and e-mobility chargepoint developer Aegis Energy is leading the project and will demonstrate:* 5 x 1.5kW low-cost "**Energy in a Box**" **(EnergyBox) wind generators** using only locally available recycled materials built by women and youth in four rural communities in Côte d'Ivoire.* 1 x 5kW British-built, high-resilience/low-maintenance **mixed wind/solar helical wind-funnel "Monopod"** with 86kWh battery supplied by subcontractor Amphibious Energy, to be installed and tested in Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire.* 1 x 14kW US-built, highly-portable **mixed wind/solar "Mobile Power Station"** **(MPS)** with 20kWh battery supplied by subcontractor Uprise Energy, to be transported and tested in a range of locations across Fiji.Aegis is collaborating with Abidjan-based local gender and social inclusion programming specialist and community-wind entrepreneur KOC Bridges to Peace, and Suva-based renewables development finance specialist Leaf Capital. Licensing and innovation agreements are in place with specialist wind-turbine suppliers Amphibious Energy and Uprise Energy.Project Zephattan meets use-cases currently served by fossil-fuel gensets in Côte d'Ivoire and Fiji: 1) off-grid battery charging, and 2) grid backup power. EnergyBox generators installed in Ivorian villages will demonstrate the ability of small-scale wind generators to replace gas generators at off-grid 12 volt battery charging stations. Monopod wind+solar and Uprise-MPS wind+solar in Côte d'Ivoire and Fiji will demonstrate higher-power and grid-backup generation. The project will test whether low-cost, locally-sourced technology like EnergyBox can deliver accessible, affordable, and reliable energy to small-scale electric vehicle chargepoints, or whether higher-specification products and components like those supplied in the Monopod and Uprise-MPS may need to be incorporated into Aegis' chargepoint designs.

小规模的运输构成了撒哈拉以南非洲所有路交通的50％（麦肯锡，2023年）， +80％的太平洋岛屿社区拥有摩托车（Impactentrpreneur），可以在经济上迅速地进行电气化，以节省约2.53亿个碳发射（CO2E）（CO2E）每年（我们的年度）。然而，非洲和太平洋大部分地区的小规模运输电力是通过电网容量不足而备受的。化石燃料发电机被越来越被称为Upon，以填补间歇性网格电源的空白，并为离网电动汽车（EV）充电服务。ProjectZephattan将展示三种可扩展的基于零发射风的发电机技术的潜力舷外和无人机。该项目将展示有风发者准备远程和离网的非洲和太平洋岛的电力需求，并可以节省约500吨的二氧化碳等效排放。仅使用由妇女和青年在科特迪瓦的四个粗糙社区中建造的本地可回收材料。* 1 x 5kW英国建造的，高弹性/低维护/低维护**混合风/太阳能螺旋风能“ monopod” ** **，用86kWh的电池供应，由分支机构安装和测试，以安装Abrire dist abire debire debire debired。 14kW美国建造的，高度可容纳的**混合风/太阳能“移动电站” ** **（MPS）**与分包商Uprise Energy提供的20kWh电池，将在斐济的一系列地点进行运输和测试。可再生能源发展财务专家叶资本。许可和创新协议与专业风涡轮供应商两栖能源和Upisrise Energy。安装在Ivorian村庄中的Energy Box Generator将展示小规模风力发电机在12伏电池充电站取代气体发生器的能力。 CôteD'Ivoire和Fiji中的M​​onopod Wind+太阳能和Uprise-MPS Wind+太阳能将展示更高的力量和带回扣的生成。该项目将测试诸如EnergyBox（Energybox之类的本地技术）是否可以为小规模的电动汽车充电点提供可访问，负担得起的和可靠的能源，或者是否需要将较高的规格产品和诸如单层和Uprise-MPS中提供的元素纳入AEGIS的ODERPOINT PONCEPONT设计中。
