Descrizione del progetto
Una rivoluzione tecnologica per industrie più pulite
L’inquinamento industriale e le emissioni rimangono un problema globale pressante, con le industrie che lottano per raggiungere gli obiettivi ambientali. In questo contesto, il progetto Solumar, finanziato dall’UE, intende ridurre le sostanze inquinanti e le emissioni fino al 99 %, garantendo al contempo operazioni industriali efficienti e sostenibili. A tal fine si avvarrà della collaborazione di esperti in ingegneria aeronautica, software e marittima, oltre che nello sviluppo commerciale. Solumar sta già aiutando i produttori europei di metalli, di lavorazione del legno e di prodotti farmaceutici a ridurre gli inquinanti e le emissioni. Ora il loro sguardo è rivolto alle industrie marittime e del petrolio e del gas, dove l’impatto dei cambiamenti climatici è notevole. Con un mercato potenziale che raggiunge i 300 miliardi di dollari, la tecnologia di Solumar offre agli armatori e agli operatori portuali l'opportunità di allinearsi ai programmi di azzeramento delle emissioni nette.
Obiettivo
Solumar is the brand name of a startup developing new deep-tech industrial solutions for air and gas purification and emissions-cutting with a strong and experienced team of Aviation, Software, and Maritime engineers, and young Key Account and Business development experts.
We are an impact-driven team on a mission to help Industrial business owners, Construction companies, Maritime (ship owners and port operators), and Oil & Gas companies reduce pollutants and emissions by 98-99% in an efficient and sustainable way, without compromising their business needs.
Our journey started working with the R&D departments of AIRBUS Biz Lab and Liebherr Aerospace, then proved the technology on a smaller scale in non-aviation sectors - today we are selling to metal, wood processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturers in Europe.
We plan to expand in the Maritime and Oil & Gas industries because of the huge Climate change impact and the multi-billion market opportunity - in maritime only, the market size reaches $300bn by selling equipment and up to $200m annual recurring revenue by selling byproducts (Carbon black), also providing shipowners and port operators with an opportunity to comply with the net zero Agenda 2050, and help stop Global Warming and the Climate change.
Interest has already been demonstrated by Greek ship owners, local Bulgarian Maritime cluster, both KAUST deep-tech Accelerator and Aramco in Saudi Arabia, and Norwegian companies, and the first demo prototype designed for Maritime integration is supported by Innovation Norway RD Grants (project started in August 2022).
The technology borrows know-how from Aviation and embodies a unique working principle, deep-tech modular approach, and a design allowing to collect of particles, also Black Carbon and ash, VOC, and Gases (SOx, NOx, COx) combined, and is the only solution for the market that reaches x6 times lower CAPEX, and x10-15 times lower OPEX versus each of the currently existing alternatives.
