CEO of the Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development, Dane Gobin, and CEO of Instream Energy Systems out of Vancouver, Canada, Dave Dennis, signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Sunday for the purpose of providing “reliable, environmentally friendly, low cost hydrokinetic energy to support conservation and sustainable use of Guyana’s natural resources”.
According to an Iwokrama release, as part of the collaboration, Iwokrama will develop and implement “joint green energy initiatives and models” which can support Iwokrama and local riverain communities with the potential to scale up to larger industrial and commercial projects including agriculture and mining.
