Net Zero Missions for Marine & Contribution from Applied Biomimetics

The global commitment to achieving net zero is driving rapid advancements in renewable energy, with marine renewable energy at the forefront of research and innovation. The focus extends beyond energy harvesting to efficient storage, transportation, and utilization, enabling sustainable operations at sea. However, the complex and dynamic marine environment presents significant challenges in ensuring safe and efficient energy production and use. Addressing these challenges requires the development of cutting-edge, energy-efficient technologies tailored for marine applications. This presentation explores novel approaches to enhancing energy efficiency in marine renewables and propulsion, emphasizing integrated solutions that bridge hydrodynamics, biomimetics, and propulsion efficiency. By leveraging innovative engineering and applied biomimetic principles, we aim to support the maritime sector’s transition toward a sustainable, net-zero future.
