Ocean Motion Tech is focused on developing sustainable, scalable and more efficient marine hydrokinetic energy by focusing on small-scale applications. The bluetech sector needs commercially successful products in small-scale energy to fuel the research and development needed to discover the generation methods and supporting technologies that will unlock scalable wave energy production. Ocean Motion is focused on small-scale power needs at sea for scientific/maritime buoys and moorings, offshore aquaculture, and coastal security and defense. Incumbent power supplies for small-scale applications at sea perform suboptimally. Their routine maintenance cost is several orders of magnitude larger than the initial unit costs. These challenges severely limit advances in ocean sciences, defense & security monitoring, and offshore aquaculture. Ocean wave energy is a natural choice for these use cases, but most wave energy devices are not designed for small-scale applications, and they can only function within a narrow range of sea states.
