Duration: 01/05/2023 – 31/01/2024
Project challenge & objective:
The aim of the project is the delivery of a TRL4 POC of a bioenergy harvesting, low-power maritime IoT system. The system employs a microbial fuel cell (MFC) mechanism for electrical charging of low-power sensing, processing, and communications modules to support long endurance for remote sensing technologies and marine platforms. The MFC mechanism further offers the capability to measure the concentration of chemicals in water. In this project, the system will aim for the detection of crude oil concentrations due to oil spills. The system will further inherit underwater acoustic capabilities from already used acoustic sensing subsystems, for the detection of underwater acoustic pollution
Role of CMMI:
CMMI will run the whole project as the sole project partner and will be supported by Prof. Yannis Ieropoulos from the University of Southampton.
Coordinator:
The project is implemented under the programme of social cohesion “THALIA 2021-2027” co-funded by the European Union, through Research and Innovation Foundation
