Problem
Marine industries face high fuel costs and emissions due to reliance on traditional power sources. Offshore equipment also experiences material fatigue from constant shocks and vibrations, leading to increased maintenance expenses.
Solution
Voltai offers a flexible, motion-absorbing generator that captures energy from ocean movement. This technology provides a high energy density compared to traditional turbines, resulting in a compact and powerful solution. By harvesting energy from motion, Voltai helps marine industries reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions. The generators are designed to withstand harsh marine environments and can also mitigate maintenance costs by absorbing shocks and vibrations that contribute to material fatigue in vessels and offshore installations. The modular design allows for simple retrofit installation, enabling a network of generators to power an entire vessel or individual generators to power remote sensors.
Target Audience
Voltai targets marine industries seeking to reduce fuel costs and emissions, as well as operators of offshore equipment looking to minimize maintenance expenses.
