ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY

MMGC offers a variety of specialized services in Environment & Energy sector. We focused on green energy - renewable electricity resources such as Solar Energy, Wind Power and Hydropower to minimize the environmental footprint. 


Solar Energy: radiant light and heat from the sun, is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as Solar Heating, Photovoltaics, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV), Solar Architecture and Artificial Photosynthesis. 


Wind Power: the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. The power available from the wind is a function of the cube of the wind speed, so as wind speed increases, power output increases up to the maximum output for the particular turbine. 


Hydropower: also known as waterpower, is the use of falling or fast-running water to produce electricity or to power machines. This is achieved by converting the gravitational potential or kinetic energy of a water source to produce power. Hydropower is a method of sustainable energy production. 



MMGC has a team of technical experts with experience conducting Environmental Impact Assessments, Initial Environmental Examinations, Sustainable Development, Natural Resource Management, Water Resource Management, and Environmental Engineering. 


MMGC provides the full gamut of services from project inception to project completion; including project identification, case study, pre-investment and strategic studies, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, technical assistance, conceptual and detailed designs as well as construction supervision for large-scale Environment & Energy development projects.


Besides, MMGC also offers specialized services in Environment & Energy sector, including but not limited to: 


Environmental Impact Assessment

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse. EIA aims to predict environmental impacts at an early stage in project planning and design, find ways and means to reduce adverse impacts, shape projects to suit the local environment and present the predictions and options to decision-makers.


Ecological Profiles

Ecological Profiles are geographic-based instruments/tools for planners and decision-makers which presents an evaluation of the environmental quality and carrying capacity of an area, or an assessment of the effects of human activities on the quality of the environment.


Environmental Strategy Formulation

We determine the appropriate strategic response to changes in the environment to help decision-makers understand the impact of the changes. There are four components that describe the nature of change in the environment: stability, complexity, resource scarcity, and uncertainty.


Natural Resource and Environmental Management

Natural Resource and Environmental Management refers to the sustainable utilization of major natural resources, such as land, water, air, minerals, forests, fisheries, and wild flora and fauna. Together, these resources provide ecosystem services that provide better quality to human life. Natural resources provide fundamental life support, in the form of both consumptive and public-good services. Ecological processes maintain soil productivity, nutrient recycling, the cleansing of air and water, and climatic cycles.


Wild Life Protection & Management

We apply proven approaches to achieve population goals in wild and feral animals in the most humane, safe, and efficient manner possible, to preserve species and habitats. We design system to deliver vaccines and contraceptives, monitor health, track locations, and capture critical data on individual animals and their management.


Eco-Tourism

Ecotourism involves responsible travel (using sustainable transport) to natural areas, conserving the environment, and improving the well-being of the local people.  We design strategies to educate the traveler, to provide funds for ecological conservation, to directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local communities, or to foster respect for different cultures and for human rights.


Biological Impact Assessment 

We design the process to systematically assess and evaluate the impact of a proposed project on identified environmentally significant areas, natural parks and natural areas. These assessments are used by consent authorities to provide a full background of the Biological and Ecological Values of a site.  Once these values are clearly understood then the full impact on these values can be evaluated and mitigation or compensation can be recommended to reduce the impacts.  These assessments identify environmentally significant areas which often include wetlands, habitat corridors, rare and endangered plants or animals and their habitats including migratory bird habitat, and Species at Risk.


Strategic Environmental Assessment

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) consists of a range of analytical and participatory approaches that aim to integrate environmental considerations into policies, plans and programs and evaluate the inter-linkages with economic and social considerations. The framework of SEA is based on three phases including screening, scoping, and analysis.


Environmental Impact Assessment

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse. EIA aims to predict environmental impacts at an early stage in project planning and design, find ways and means to reduce adverse impacts, shape projects to suit the local environment and present the predictions and options to decision-makers.


Climate Change Adaptation

Climate change adaptation is the process of adjusting to current or expected effects of climate change. For humans, adaptation aims to moderate or avoid harm, and exploit opportunities; for natural systems, humans may intervene to help adjustment. Adaptation actions can be either incremental or transformative. 

We focus on five solutions that can both curb climate change and help us cope with its impacts at the same time: Protect Coastal Wetlands, Promote the Benefits of Sustainable Agroforestry, Decentralize Energy Distribution, and Secure Indigenous Peoples’ Land Rights.


Coastal & Estuary Processes and River Works

The establishment of the baseline of coastal and estuarine processes involves the collection of data relating to a number of aspects, including the geological and Holocene evolution of the estuary, the historic relative sea level change and ground motion recorded, land claim and industrial development in the tidal area, data from other physical processes such as salinity, mixing and the turbidity maximum, tides and tidal range, storm surges, tidal and residual currents, waves, and the freshwater input to the estuary.
