We are solving three of the biggest challenges of the 21st century:

Low cost clean electricity

Grid-scale energy storage

Access to fresh water

Solving the world's
energy crisis

Electrical power generation and energy storage, combining wind, pressure, and gravity

Problem: 80% of the world's wind
resource is offshore in deep waters

How can humanity access and harness wind
offshore in deep waters cost effectively today?

There is a global need for clean, affordable and secure energy. The global energy market is currently sized at $6 trillion, and energy demand is expected to grow by one-third by 2040. The world still sources 87% of its energy from fossil fuels.

Many of the environmental problems the world faces today—including climate change, ocean acidification, droughts, extreme weather, carbon emissions, and air pollution—are all a direct result of our dependence on fossil fuels.

The world needs to transition to renewables; but, the main problem with conventional renewables is that they have failed to outcompete with fossil fuels on cost, scalability, power and energy density. In addition, they are either intermittent, variable or both and no cost effective energy storage solution has been found to absorb the volatility of renewables or to dispatch them on demand.

An innovative technology that harnesses offshore wind,
combined with a gravity-based energy storage solution;

Providing reliable, low-cost clean electrical energy and energy storage.

*Based on internal assessments 

This technology opens up the ability to exploit offshore wind power in deep waters at significantly reduced cost, compared to conventional wind turbines, offshore floating wind, or evolving marine and kite energy technologies.

Solving the world's
water crisis

Combining the power of subsea oceanic pressure and altitude wind to solve one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century

Problem: The world needs a solution
to the water crisis

Currently, 40% of the world’s population live in water-stressed areas. This number is expected to increase to 50% by 2025, with 1.8 billion people living with absolute water scarcity. The world population is expected to grow from 7.9 billion in 2022 to 9.9 billion in 2050, adding tremendous risks of water stress.

Along with other megatrends, such as urbanization, modern agriculture and industrialization, human activities have multiplied demands for water consumption. Water contamination from industrial production, and extreme weather (droughts and floods) due to climate change, also put our very limited water resources in danger.

Problem: Fresh water access will impact
1 billion people globally by 2027

"Quite simply, water is a matter of life and death. Our bodies are 60% water. Our cities, our industries, and our agriculture all depend on it. Yet today, 40% of the world's people are affected by water scarcity; 80% of wastewater is discharged untreated into the environment; and more than 90% of disasters are water-related."

Why invest

in Hydro Wind Energy

Every year, global energy demand continues to rise. Driven by emerging economies and developing nations, total worldwide energy usage is expected to grow by nearly 50% by 2050 and the water market globally will be worth over $500 billion.

At the same time, scientists are sounding the alarms about rising temperature levels, caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses. With temperatures likely to increase by well over two degrees Celsius, many nations are seeking ways to replace fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy. This provides a market opportunity to invest in game changing technologies that will play a major part in the global transition. We have practical solutions to 3 of the biggest challenges of the 21st century, low cost clean electricity, grid scale energy storage and freshwater. Solutions that can be developed and commercialized in the shortest possible time with the greatest impact.
