Eco Wave Power

Eco Wave Power is a leading onshore wave energy technology company that developed a patented, smart, and cost-efficient technology for turning ocean and sea waves into green electricity. Eco Wave Power’s mission is to assist in the fight against climate change by enabling commercial power production from the ocean and sea waves. The Company has finalized the construction of its grid-connected project in Israel. This project involves the installation and operation of a 100-kW installed capacity station at the Jaffa Port in Israel through a Joint Venture Agreement with EDF Renewables IL, a subsidiary of the French multinational electric utility company Électricité de France S.A. EWP also received co-funding from the Israeli Ministry of Energy, which recognized the technology as a “pioneering technology.” With the FIT in place, the Israeli Electric Authority commenced operations to officially connect the EWP-EDF One project to Israel’s energy grid. As of August 15th, 2023, the station officially connected to Israel’s national electrical grid – making it the first wave energy project to deliver electricity to the country’s power supply. Moreover, Eco Wave Power will soon commence the installation of its newest pilot in AltaSea’s premises in the Port of Los Angeles. Following an agreement between AltaSea and Eco Wave Power, EWP delivered an energy conversion unit to the AltaSea campus at the Port of Los Angeles. EWP is in the process of receiving the final approval for the installation of the 100-kW station in AltaSea’s premises in the Port of Los Angeles in the upcoming months. Eco Wave Power has shipped the conversion unit with 1 sample floater and expects to manufacture an additional 7 new floaters and floater mechanisms for this project. In addition, the company entered into a Concession Agreement with the Port of Leixões, or APDL, to use an area potentially suitable for the construction, operation, and maintenance of a wave energy power station of up to 20 MW in four locations owned and operated by APDL. Pursuant to the Concession Agreement, APDL will provide EWP with a concession for its breakwaters for a period ranging from 25 to 30 years. The power station is planned to be constructed and commissioned in several stages, starting with a 1 MW station and, subject to certain conditions, to be followed by the construction, operation, and maintenance of the remaining 19 MW capacity of the station. In October 2023, Eco Wave Power received the last approval necessary for the commencement of the works of the first megawatt in the city of Porto from APDL. Eco Wave Power is currently setting up the execution bond for the project, to officially receive the final license. The next steps will include finalizing detailed construction plans for the first 1 MW power station, obtaining approval from relevant entities for the detailed construction plans, and then commencing actual construction, which is expected to take up to 24 months. This is expected to be Eco Wave Power’s first MW-scale project, which will position Eco Wave Power as a leading wave energy developer and serve as a significant milestone towards the commercialization of wave energy globally. The Company also holds concession agreements for commercial installations in Europe and has a total project pipeline of 404.7MW. Eco Wave Power received funding from the European Union Regional Development Fund, Innovate UK, and the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 framework program. The Company has also received the “Global Climate Action Award” from the United Nations. Eco Wave Power’s American Depositary Shares (WAVE) are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

ELOXIRAS

ELOXIRAS® is an innovative process for the treatment and reuse of marine and brackish water. It is developed to enhance the productivity and to reduce the environmental impact of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). Based on the electrochemical oxidation technology, it only requires an electrical potential between two electrodes in water. High removal rates of contaminants are achieved, such as total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), nitrite and dissolved organic matter, together with high disinfectant efficacy. Main features: - High efficacy. Removal of high concern pollutants, even bacteria and viruses, contributing to increase RAS capacity and productivity in a cost-effective way. - Reduced environmental impact. The impact of the RAS system is minimized due to lower water exchange requirements with the surrounding media. - Efficient energy process. Adaptable to optimize energy through a fine tune-up of the treatment intensity to the daily change of the pollutant production rate. - Compact design. Allowing to save investment costs and to maximize the integration possibilities (logistic applications in trucks and well-boats). - Easy automatization. Possibility of including a control system with remote alert procedures and supervision of the system condition and operation. - Easy to operate. Allowing to reach 100% of performance without start-up and adapting periods typical of the biological systems. - Modular and easy to scale-up. Allowing to increase treatment capacity with the maximum simplicity and the minimum investment cost. - Safe process. High safety for the farmed species, ideal for isolated applications as quarantine and bio-security.
