Ocean Retriever - PHE to install a DMG unit on an autonomous Ship to turn ocean plastic into hydrogeToday 21:27
Project description
The Ocean Retriever ship is a specialize factory ship that tours every port to each Canary Island collecting large bales of unrecyclable plastics, to process into clean hydrogen for island mobility.
The marine factory vessel Ocean Retriever will collect free of charge, and process all unrecyclable plastics collected port-side in large bales, plastics, worn tires and other toxic waste (RDF) then immediately processing of the waste into hydrogen(H2) while in port and while travelling to its next port of call. Each port will accumulate this plastic in large bales and worn tires port-side until the pre-arranged collection scheduled date. The green low cost hydrogen for sale to each island.

Economic rationale / Business Model
The business model concept is for every Canary Island to be self-sufficient in energy using an eclectic mix of different renewable energy technology (solar, wind, biomass fermentation and storage of energy in batteries and hydrogen). The hydrogen self-produced electricity will be sold to the islands residential and commercial clients. The hydrogen produced from the Ocean Retriever hydrogen will produce heat and electricity will turn sea water into fresh potable water by osmosis desalination plants. The results will be each island will be 100% self-reliant for all its required energy. Eradicating air pollution and reducing its landfill requirements to almost zero. A micro-grid management system and artificial intelligence will drive the system to optimise and balance the internal power system.
Phase 1 Objective and goal: Understanding Opportunity & Validate technology PHEW2H2 on an ocean going ship and form a consortium with key stakeholders
Phase 2 Objective and goal: Develop implementation and business plan for building and funding or refit a ship with W2H2 DMG technology
Phase 3 Objective and goal: The building and successful operation of Ocean Retriever Power Ship
