Project description
Ocean waves power clean fuel
R&D activities have rendered wave energy converter (WEC) devices a solution for generating clean energy from ocean waves. The EU-funded GreenH2Wave project aims to enhance a floating dual chamber oscillating water column (FOWC) device to produce green hydrogen from seawater using wave energy. The FOWC represents a WEC system that converts wave energy into electricity, which is used to generate green hydrogen from seawater. This hydrogen is stored within the internal tanks of the FOWC, which can serve as a ‘floating fuel station’ for ocean-going vessels, catering to their demand for clean fuel even in the midst of oceans, all at an affordable cost. This endeavour contributes significantly to the decarbonisation of the marine transportation sector. Women TechEU provides support for this project.
Objective
The main objective of this project proposal is to boost the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of the novel Concept of Floating Dual Chamber Oscillating Water Column (FOWC) device. FOWC is a kind of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) system that captures energy of waves and converts it into electricity. The generated electricity is used to produce green Hydrogen from the sea water. The produced Hydrogen is stored inside the internal tanks of the device to be used as the “clean fuel” by the next generation of ships. The idea of this system is the outcome of more than a decade of R&D activities carried out in a prestigious European University to make the WEC devices an economically viable solution to produce clean energy. This innovative solution is the “first and only” WEC in the market that can act like a “floating fuel station” for ocean going ships to reliably produce their clean fuel demand in the middle of oceans with affordable cost. Hence, this technology could play a prominent role in the supply chain of the decarbonizing marine transportation sector that destructively produces 3% carbon emissions in the World. At the moment, this technology has the maturation level of TRL 3. It is planned to perform a further optimization process on the conceptual design of this technology under the scope of this project proposal which allows concluding TRL 3 stage of development. Complementary laboratory tests will be carried out on the optimized model and the new Intellectual property (IP) will be submitted concerning the optimized design. The other main objective of this project proposal is to enhance coordination and marketing skills as well as extending the network of the CEO & Co-Founder of the company and her team according to the unique environment, coaching programme and tailored training session opportunities provided for European Women leaders under the scope of Women TechEU Programme.
