CIWI Egg

We are currently concentrating on advancing the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of our technology. It has successfully operated in a laboratory setting, but we now face the challenge of scaling it up for higher production. This involves changes in dimensions and the integration of logistics. Through this project, we aim to learn how to upscale our solution effectively. We are in the process of implementing it at large water treatment facilities. Once this project is completed, we will move to the next phase, where our system will be integrated with one treatment street of this water treatment facility.

Claim

In the framework of the CLAIM project, coordinated by H.C.M.R., New Naval Ltd (Greece) has developed an innovative floating boom (floating barrier) and marine litter collection and recovery system, the CLEAN "Tactical Recovery Accumulation System Hellas". This unparalleled, highly-efficient solution manages to collect and sustain litter and macroplastics at river mouths before entering into the open sea and affecting the marine ecosystem. The scale model was built at New Naval's facility in Lavrio, Greece in late 2018 and a prototype was deployed at the river mouth of Kifissos river in Athens, Greece in 2019. The effectiveness and capabilities of the system passed all quality assurance testing, confirming that the system is ready to be installed in active, long-term operational environments. It can continuously accumulate and remove marine litter from river mouths and can be a commercial product to be used by authorities and all stakeholders related to marine litter pollution.

Clean Shipping Assets

In collaboration with the manufacturer legal-and financial structures are set up which allow a ferry owner with excellent solvency to benefit from the latest clean-shipping technology. The assets are made available to the ship owner by providing energy-on-board as a service. For investors this is an opportunity for asset-backed clean-shipping impact investments which generate a recurring revenue while at the same time make sure emissions reduction effects.

COASTAL MARINE LITTER OBSERVATORY

Coastal Marine Litter Observatory (CMLO) is a web system designed to detect and map marine litter in the coastal zone with the combined use of drone images and machine learning methods. CMLO has proven its capability to detect and map the marine litter in the coastal zone since it has been extensively used in Greece in more than 85 km of coastline and tested in four other countries (Portugal, Ghana, Israel, Japan). CMLO is able to detect and distinguish the seven main categories of marine litter, including plastics. The system provides functionalities for interaction with the results of the detection for every beach that is monitored. The results presented through CMLO are open through a dedicated geospatial portal. CMLO includes all the derived information as geospatial information related to: points of detection, category of detection, densities of marine litter on the selected areas, litter density maps per area of interest, e.g. island or prefecture, and spatiotemporal visualizations of marine litter per area of interest. The CMLO is a tool for quantitatively presenting marine litter distribution in the coastal zone using automated classification methods. The novelty and innovation of the CMO lie in our integrated approach, where drone data in combination with AI techniques and geoinformatics united into one workflow for marine litter detection and mapping. Through the CMLO SDI portal, users can interact and compare the marine litter detection results for every beach monitored. CMLO and the produced marine litter density maps can be used as a decision-making tools for policymakers and scientists. The integration and visualization of the litter density information allow for facilitating decision-making by stakeholders. Last but not least, the litter density maps and their spatiotemporal analysis are open to the public and organizations (Governments, Local authorities, researchers, NGOs, etc.). In the Coastal Marine Litter Observatory (CMLO), the detection of marine litter results is visualized as density maps. CMLO includes all the derived information as geospatial information related to: Densities of marine litter on various beaches in the Greek coastline, Litter density maps per area of interest, Spatiotemporal visualizations of marine litter per area of interest.
