Project description
Protecting marine biodiversity while expanding offshore renewable energy capacity
The EU’s offshore renewable energy strategy includes ocean protection and biodiversity preservation and restoration. Innovative approaches are needed to produce clean energy and reduce the impact of offshore infrastructures, enhancing their positive effects on the marine environment. The EU-funded Sun-Bio project aims to develop innovative situ ecological monitoring technologies and data collection approaches to support these goals, promoting innovative ways to mitigate infrastructure presence based on restoration. It brings together experts in naval engineering and design, marine ecologists, as well as trustworthy data analytics and relevant intelligence, chemical measurement and spectroscopic methods for sensing, platforms navigation, communication and remote control. Technologies will be designed with users to ensure their larger usability and acceptance, protecting Europe’s marine environments while expanding its offshore renewable energy capacity.
Objective
SUNBIO brings together a significant variety of disciplines, aiming at exploiting them to form a set of ‘technology enablers’ that will facilitate the delivery of the envisioned services through a holistic framework, comprising Underwater Engineering, Mathematics and Analytics, Computer Science, Archaeology, Chemistry, further decomposed in: (i) Naval engineering and design; (ii) trustworthy data analytics and relevant intelligence (ML/AI frameworks); (iii) Chemical measurement and spectroscopic methods for sensing, (iv) Navigation principles and compliance, (v) Communication and remote operation. These disciplines will be exploited to set up a number of complementary Technology Enablers (also described in detail in Sect.1.2.1-1.2.2); these enablers will be the basis for the SUNBIO envisioned services, that will lead to efficiently applied fully autonomous and in situ sensing, monitoring services. SUNBIO aims at ensuring that the pathway towards robust monitoring principles and practices, is designed always having ‘human in the loop’ in terms of usability and acceptance of deployed technologies, given the fact that trustworthiness is a key factor towards the exploitation of the envisioned set of services.
