Liquefied Natural Gas:
A-Valey Engineers, Inc. (AVE) has provided worldwide engineering services relating to the design and operation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) type facilities since its founding in 1964. AVE’s engineering experience covers the whole Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) chain from gas treatment and liquefaction through marine and land transportation to the final import and delivery of the gas to the pipeline, power plant or LNG powered vehicle. AVE’s can complement its LNG experts with unlimited technical staff and experienced engineers with a long history in the power industry. AVE is further supported by a five-person design and drafting department.

AVE and its subsidiary company, Powerweb Technologies, Inc., have demonstrated successful working relationships with local, national, and international companies to provide specific environmental permitting services, site contamination evaluations, detailed geotechnical investigation of brown field sites, and design and evaluation of marine structures.

In support of the above, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which became law in August 2005, will encourage more natural gas production in areas currently available for development while promoting more efficient use of natural gas as well other forms of energy. But, these initiatives are long-term solutions and won’t increase supply overnight. However, efforts that can be taken in the short-term include: 1) using energy more efficiently through energy management. 2) Placing gas in storage so gas companies can purchase gas during warmer months, when prices are usually lower, and place it in storage for use in the winter when prices tend to be higher. 4) Hedging: Make use of financial tools, such as futures contracts, to help stabilize the price of gas charged to customers

Energy Management:
Governor Edward G. Rendell of the State of Pennsylvania announced on January 11, 2006, that Powerweb Technologies, Inc. would receive a state sponsored $400,000 grant. Powerweb will use these dollars in Pennsylvania to install a demand-management system and web-based trading platform known as the PALM Procurement Platform. This interactive trading system is designed to interface energy consumers with the supplier to monitor commodity-based contracts for load management.
