seabreath wave energy

Do you believe a revolutionary wave energy converter can disrupt the energy industry? We, at Seabreath, have developed just that. Fossil fuels are a dirty, expensive, and unsustainable reality. We need a clean, reliable, and powerful energy solution, but existing options often lack reliability or affordability. Our wave energy converter is a game-changer. Unlike current solutions, it's designed for efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. It captures wave energy and transforms it into clean, reliable electricity. We've made significant progress. With a detailed engineering design complete, we're ready to build the prototype. Seabreath can capitalize on a vast, untapped market. Being a first mover allows us to capture a significant share. Current wave energy solutions are commercially unviable. Seabreath's innovative device boasts impressive efficiency due to its one-way airflow design, while its modular construction minimizes costs throughout implementation, transport, installation, and maintenance. Sustainability is at our core. We utilize renewable energy, recycled materials, and features that promote coastal health and marine life. To bring this technology to market, we require €1,000,000 in funding. This investment will allow us to build the prototype, conduct rigorous testing, and attract further private investment for large-scale deployment. The Seabreath team is comprised of proven engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs with a history of developing innovative technologies. The next step is constructing the 30-meter, 1:1 scale prototype, which will take 17 months. Our numerous awards demonstrate the value and potential of this project. We are ready to make a real difference and create a more sustainable world.

SeaCras

Coastal Intelligence by SeaCras leverages AI analysis of very high-resolution satellite data to evaluate marine emissions and estimate the ecological vulnerability of micro-locations, destinations, and territorial waters. We assess various water quality descriptors and combine them with data on anthropogenic activities, air, and land to provide insights on risks, threats, and opportunities for ports, port authorities, and cruise lines. As a result, we can determine how the marine environment changes over time and understand man-made and climate-related influences while keeping greenhouse gas emissions and costs for our clients to a minimum. This solution is designed to address the challenges faced by stakeholders in the cruising and coastal tourism, maritime transport, offshore energy, and security sectors. Powered by SeaCras products: • SeaCras App - Corporate Demonstration Sustainability Tool • Continuous environmental monitoring and surveillance of the extended port area • ESG reporting on marine resources • Maritime spatial planning & marine protected areas feasibility studies

SEAFOODTOMORROW

Product: Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a serious illness caused by eating shellfish contaminated with dinoflagellate algae, which produce harmful toxins. This output concerns a procedure for the effective detoxification of paralytic toxin-contaminated shellfish. The process is based on an existing EC-approved procedure for cockles (Acanthocardia tuberculata), which has been modified to extend detoxification capacity for other bivalve molluscs, namely mussels, clams and scallops. Detoxification is achieved through a thermal process that reduces PSP contamination by almost 85% in bivalve molluscs, making them safe for human consumption, provided the initial level is below a certain threshold.
