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.

We recycle human hair waste from hair salons and transform it into circular Eco Design products for marine environment preservation and regenerative agriculture.
Through our hair recycling service for hairdressers we eliminate tons of hair waste that would normally go to landfill or be burnt, causing great harm upon the environment with increased CO2 emission and methane gases. With a management system in place we transform this hair waste into organic eco design products and solutions that clean and save water, increase soil health and can replace standard plastic products in ports and agriculture.
1. Hair Recycling Service
A closed loop Subscription Service for hairdressers providing real-time impact analysis of users, such as the total hair waste prevented,such as water savings, waste removal fees, reduced Co2 emissions and data intelligence of sensors. Through this we offer a New Business Model and more sustainable practices for the beauty industry.Further, a management system in place to process this waste into new products.
02.Sea Decontamination Barriers and Filters
A modular system of Sea Decontamination Barriers and filters made from hair waste that naturally adsorb hydrocarbons and heavy metals from the sea for ports and vessels. Embedded with a sensor system collecting and tracking essential water quality data and a digital platform providing real time impact analysis.
4. Sensors & IoT Platform
Products are backed up by technology and science to guarantee efficiency, transparency and authenticity. With a digital platform offering real-time analysis of economic and environmental impact. Doubling as a community hub enabling stakeholders with participation in the network.

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.

We are working on floating, wind-powered "Offshore H2 Generators" that will be operated in sea areas with high wind speeds without a power grid connection. The hydrogen produced is then immediately stored in a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) and transported at intervals by shuttle tanker to nearby industrial ports (cf. FPSO process). We have been invited by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action to submit applications for "Prototype development of a floating offshore H2 generator and planning of GW offshore hydrogen farms". Now, with the help of BlueInvest, we want to start planning the financing of a prototype. This is a requirement for the subsequent construction of GW hydrogen farms with industrial/VC-investors within the EEZs of European states.
