STARFLOAT - multifloat-spar for enabling the economic exploitation of deep water wind

Stage: Round 4

Innovative floating foundations enable offshore wind turbines in deeper waters, expanding wind farm possibilities around the Atlantic Margins. Cost-effective solutions are vital for competitiveness and economic viability compared to nearshore wind farms with fixed foundations. Oceanflow Energy’s Starfloat solution utilizes a cost-efficient multifloat-spar structure, enabling the economic development of deep-sea wind farms. The platform also explores addressing freshwater scarcity off the southwest coast of Africa, coupling wind energy with a reverse osmosis plant to potentially replace costly diesel-driven alternatives, demonstrating its viability for both electricity production and freshwater generation based on community needs.
