Turning concepts into completion
Innovation requires having at least three things: a great idea, the engineering talent to execute it
and the business savvy (plus deal-making moxie) to turn it into a successful product. - Walter Isaacson
This page outlines the knowledge & technologies available to unlock the potential of our concepts.
Reciprocal benefits across emerging technologies, academic breakthroughs, and industrial advancements are identified.
The prospect of integration into Sea-wiggle.R or R.E-xpande.R could improve their commercial viability, and market
uptake will strengthen the case for continued investment in research and development.
Both emerging and proven technologies can strengthen these developments, and strategic industrial partnerships,
backed by government funding, are the cornerstones of these developments.
Our 'wave-to-H₂' breakthrough reframes ocean energy as a scalable pathway, ready for proceeding.
Some potential facilitating technologies
CO₂ Capture & Storage Progress in essential
Developing CO₂ conversion reaction for the production of sustainable chemicals as e-fuels / monomers is essential.
