We are pioneering the use of marine renewable energy to restore the global carbon balance, driving clean maritime through green shipping and autonomous systems, while increasing natural carbon capture, to minimise harmful effects of human activity.

Research centres and groups

Through our whole-system transdisciplinary approach to solutions-oriented research, we are accelerating sustainable developments towards Net Zero.
