BUT WHY THE OCEAN?
We can say the Ocean holds the key for renewable energy!
- it covers 70% of the planet
- it's the largest solar panel on earth
- it's also the largest battery (heat & kinetic energy - eg. the gulf stream alone could power 75% of Florida, USA)
- less environmental impact then land-based renewables (if done right!)
- zero additional land use
- international waters
OUR BRAND STORY
(Finally) There is a growing pressure for reducing emissions. It's coming from all over, the stock market, state mandates and even the DOE.
On the other hand, our ocean holds a potential to power the entire global energy needs a few times over, from powerful dynamics like currents, tides, waves and winds.
But we don't use it that much … so it kind of frustrates me, specially cause I'm a sailor, a kitesurfer,
and I feel this power with my own hands.
I founded NEPTUNYA with the mission to change that fact, by developing technologies that make ocean clean energy generation a viable solution... while also maintaining a focus on marine habitat preservation.
With all this, we hope to help power companies, and humanity to move more quickly into the clean energy future.
QUICK FACTS
- Oceans remain the largest untapped source of renewable energy on earth - natural oceanic flows are among the most powerful and constant dynamics on earth.
- The entire world is moving towards cleaner & renewable energy generation, with the goal of lowering carbon footprint.
- The ocean's power is clean, renewable and diverse: tides, waves, currents, winds and the sun.
- The ocean has 2 extremely important assets in abundance: water and space.
- Despite that, ocean energy currently accounts for a fraction of global electricity generation.
- Marine technologies for energy generation are still in early development, an opportunity for new projects.
- Yet, challenges are big on harnessing ocean power, operating in harsh and complex marine environments and withstanding the stress and corrosion of the sea.
