In 1975, Globals founders, a group of entrepreneurs from the oil and gas industry, purchased thermoelectric technology from 3M. This technology was developed for NASAs Apollo program and was actually used to generate power on the moon. After adapting the technology to apply to oil and gas and telecom markets in Alberta, Globals business really took off. In fact, it quickly became the world standard for remote power generation systems. From the first few installations in Canada, Globals Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) were regularly used in the following industries: Gas pipelines Wellheads Offshore platforms Telecommunications Security and surveillance and monitoring. To date there have been more than 20,000 Global Thermoelectric TEGs installed in 50 countries. But Global is more than just TEGs: Our success with TEGs soon led to the development and integration of other remote power products. Global can now provide remote power systems where TEGs are not ideal, including larger loads and liquid fueled systems. We offer solutions based on industrial gensets, hybrids, photovoltaics, grid-connected systems and combined heat and power systems. We constantly monitor new power technologies and work with partners to integrate them into the worlds best remote power systems.
