Four British Columbia-based companies are the successful participants of an Innovation Challenge to be delivered through Innovate BC’s Integrated Marketplace and enabled by the BC Marine Energy and Decarbonization Hub, a joint initiative of COAST and the University of Victoria.
This Innovation Challenge is designed to help address the Canadian Coast Guard's goal to decarbonize land-based operations in remote coastal areas of British Columbia. It targets new innovations that can displace diesel at remote locations, utilizing renewable energy sources (including marine renewables), as well as advanced energy management and storage solutions.
The systems must be rapidly deployable, modular, and scalable to meet the Coast Guard’s operational constraints at remote, often hard-to-access sites.
The four companies, Ascent Systems Technologies, Cleohydron Innovation Inc, Mostar Labs Inc and Voltai Inc, will receive funding of 50% of eligible project costs, up to $100,000, as well as access to office and lab space at the Marine Technology Centre in North Saanich, and direct access to the Canadian Coast Guard technical teams and Accelerating Community Energy Transformation (ACET) researchers to support their development goals.
- Ascent Systems Technologies is adapting its Autonomous Environment Monitoring and Surveillance (AEMS) platform into AEMS-COAST, a rugged, modular clean-energy unit. The system integrates
