CESL Asia is proud to participate in the 2nd China-Portuguese-Speaking Countries Economic and Trade Expo (Macao) (C-PLPEX), showcasing a series of pioneering projects and partnerships that underscore the commitment to technological innovation and sustainable development.
At this year’s C-PLPEX, CESL Asia is presenting key initiatives including AgroPV, aerospace innovation for high-tech farming solutions, AI-driven energy system and assets management platform. These initiatives demonstrate advancements in high-tech agriculture, renewable energy, energy management and artificial intelligence, driving sustainability and operational excellence.
One of CESL Asia’s flagship initiatives, AgroPV, integrates modern agricultural practices with renewable energy generation through Photovoltaic (PV) technology. This innovative model highlights CESL Asia’s vision for sustainable agriculture through technological synergy, combining clean energy production with enhanced animal welfare and ecological resilience.
The pilot AgroPV solar power plant at Monte do Pasto, CESL Asia’s farm in Portugal’s Alentejo region, has an installed capacity of 243 kWp and produces approximately 387 MWh of electricity annually. Covering 1,170 square meters of shaded area, it helps reduce heat stress on cattle and preserve their natural behavior. Supported by battery storage, the system enables the farm and its feed factory to achieve near energy self-sufficiency, meeting up to 97% of their energy needs internally. Next step is to develop AgroPV system at scale of hundreds of MW for all sorts of Agriculture applications.
In partnership with Spin.Works, a Portuguese aerospace company established in 2006 and specializing in Earth observation and missions to the Moon and Mars, CESL Asia is developing spatio-temporal prediction systems for agricultural and livestock operations. By integrating remote optical-photonic sensors, computer vision, and AI-based analytics, the system, now in use at Monte do Pasto and the solar plant, enhances productivity, product quality and sustainability, and the company aims to introduce its solutions with CESL Asia across agricultural sectors in both European and Chinese markets.
CESL Asia’s collaboration with EREN, a strategic investor in innovative low-carbon technologies, and DELC, a start-up specializing in energy transition in Mainland China, aims to advance AI technologies in the Greater Bay Area to optimize energy systems and building HVAC operations. These innovations are designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and accelerate the region’s transition toward smarter, greener, and more sustainable infrastructure, and the joint venture is introducing these solutions in Macau and Asia markets.
Designed in-house by CESL Asia with a local technology partner, ORTUX is an intelligent People, Asset, and Resources Management Platform that supports smarter and more productive asset management. By integrating AI technologies with CESL Asia’s 35+ years of operational expertise, ORTUX can improve efficiency by over 35% and reduce facility maintenance costs by 25% to 35%, promoting both sustainability and profitability.
Through these groundbreaking initiatives and partnerships, CESL Asia continues to bridge innovative technology and sustainability, strengthening collaboration between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. CESL Asia’s participation in C-PLPEX reaffirms its dedication to knowledge exchange, sustainable economic growth, and international cooperation from its business platform based in Macau.
With over 35 years of established presence in Macau, CESL Asia has consistently integrated environmental protection and sustainability into every aspect of its daily operations. The company actively invests in and applies advanced technologies to deliver innovative solutions for community and economic development, enhance energy efficiency, and drive sustainable transformation, supporting Macau’s vision as a high-end, intelligent, and green city.
