133238Ecological Coastal Protection that Generates ElectricityClosedFeasibility StudiesInnovate UKZyba and Biorock are partnering to provide the world’s first eco-based coastal protection that is powered by wave energy while enhancing the ecosystem with new coral reefs. Zyba’s core technology is a curved paddle (called "CCell") that both harnesses and dampens the energy within ocean waves to generate electricity. BioRock is an electrolytic technique used to grow artificial reefs that provide long-term coastal protection and a foundation on which corals grow at an accelerated rate. This project encompasses three main work packages involving market research, business and financial model refinement and the development of marketing and public relations strategies. Zyba will be working with a range of professional agencies to undertake this work, including consultation with customers both in the UK and abroad.
