Success Entitlements
ECI can evidence an impressive build-up of Success Entitlements.
We have the key people, a comprehensive range of commercially proven energy recovery systems & technologies, and can draw upon a huge and constantly replenished global supply of feedstock materials. Our systems can produce premium quality oil, syngas, transport grade fuels & other petroleum products and, in addition, we can generate electricity to help ease the pressure on markets striving to meet an almost insatiable demand for energy. In the process of powering the world, the Company is also doing its bit to help clean up the environment and provide employment for local communities.
Elimination of Technical Risk
With...

- The tremendous scope for growth in Thailand
- Ditto in respect to near neighbor countries of South-East Asia
- Similarly, in the case of the wider international arena
- The scope & nature of our dealings (waste management, environmental; oil production, renewable energy; electricity generation, sustainability)
