Research initiative to focus on how coastal economies, ocean solutions, and investment in innovation are supporting a sustainable blue future in countries around the world June 8, 2021 – Today, […]

This Newfoundland and Labrador and PEI-led project will develop a hybrid diesel-electric system to make the hybridization of existing vessels worldwide a financially viable option. This project utilizes advanced permanent magnet motor technology to provide both Canadian and global vessel clients with a propulsion system that reduces not only maintenance and fuel costs, but also GHG emissions and carbon footprint.

This game-changing project represents significant developments in science and technology and has never been done before. The Sustainable Protein for Aquaculture project will take greenhouse gas emissions from upstream oil and gas and convert them into a high-value protein product to be used to feed farmed fish.

This project will develop an integrated service-hub, referred to as “Tech Companion,” that centralizes data in a remotely accessible, intelligent, and automated digital ecosystem for use in ocean industries. As a unified digital platform, Tech Companion will connect technicians across the globe and facilitate the collection of core data, including condition-based monitoring of equipment, task level instructions, structured reporting, and augmented reality training to support tasks on demand.

Led by BlueNode and together with project partners Saab Technologies, National Research Council, and the Halifax Port Authority, the project team will develop new software products which will enhance service to existing customers and enrich the sales offering for new customers.

This Nova Scotia-led project will work to develop an algal nutritional oil that fully mimics and complements the health benefits of fish oil consumption. The project will create four new full-time jobs, will the potential for 20 indirect jobs in total.

This project is the first of its kind in Canada and will allow for faster, more reliable and affordable data acquisition. Led by Sensor Technology, with its partners Kraken Robotics and 3D Wave Design, the Autonomous COMPASS Project team will work together to develop a compact, multi-element passive acoustic monitoring system to conduct passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), which is used in defence applications, oceanographic research, marine mammal protection activities, and energy exploration.
