Ocean Oasis

Last week, we attended the 14th edition of Canagua and Energy in Gran Canaria. The Canary Islands are in the forefront of innovative approaches in desalination. Our co-founder and COO Sebastián Feimblatt participated in the round table "Water and energy nexus. Water as an energy resource". Sebastian leads our operations in the Canary Islands, as CEO for our Spanish subsidiary Ocean Oasis Canarias. The key topic of the conference has been sustainable and energy efficient desalination with the use of renewable energy. Our recently announced DesaLIFE project, funded by CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, will showcase our technology for off-grid, sustainable desalination in the north of Gran Canaria. The Canary Islands provides the perfect setting for our project, with the strong competence and experience in desalination from companies, utilities, research centers and the institutions in the Canaries. Thank you to our fellow panelists for a great conversation!

A warm welcome to our new head of finance, Christian Dubrau! We are so happy to welcome Christian to the Ocean Oasis team as our Head of Finance. Christian has a diverse background in audit, NGOs, start-ups and financial institutions, bringing extensive experience in financial management. He is passionate about sustainability and is eager to help address water scarcity: - I'm looking forward to contributing and driving forward Ocean Oasis' financial strategies to support the company's goals. Christian is a crucial addition to the Ocean Oasis team as we continue to grow and manage complex projects, backed by our amazing investors and funders like CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) and The Research Council of Norway. Our team is diverse, comprised of individuals from different nationalities and a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. This week, Christian has been with our team in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, including a visit to our pilot desalination buoy Gaia 🌊 #recruitment #careers #desalination #cleantech #waveenergy #sustainability #water

#DesaLIFE demostrará el uso de la tecnología undimotriz para producción de agua desalada de forma sostenible. Ocean Oasis Canarias se enorgullece de liderar el proyecto que permitirá incrementar la capacidad de producción en un proceso tradicionalmente electro-intensivo, sin incrementar la demanda de energía eléctrica y sin emisiones de CO2, utilizando una fuente de energía renovable e inagotable como las olas. 🌊💦 Sebastián Feimblatt, cofundador de Ocean Oasis y director ejecutivo de la delegación canaria, afirma que “Canarias nos brinda una oportunidad única para demostrar el uso de las energías marinas para una desalación sostenible”, y destaca que “es un privilegio contar con la experiencia en desalación de empresas y centros de investigación y con el apoyo institucional de las diferentes administraciones, y en concreto la estrecha colaboración con el Consejo Insular de Aguas de Gran Canaria”. Proyecto cofinanciado por Agencia Ejecutiva Europea de Clima, Infraestructuras y Medio Ambiente (#CINEA) a través del Programa #LIFE. Una alternativa sostenible para dar respuesta a la demanda de agua potable en #GranCanaria que contribuirá a la descarbonización del archipiélago.   👉 Lee la historia al completo aquí: https://lnkd.in/d9fDDesv  #Tecnología, #desalación, #agua, #innovación, #Canarias, #descarbonización #RecursosHídricos, #GobCan, #TransiciónEcológica, #EnergíaRenovable, #Sostenibilidad, #blueeconomy

Our wave-powered desalination technology has been featured in Forbes! 🌊 This first-of-its-kind project, which aims to provide clean, freshwater to communities in the Canary Islands, has received a €6m grant from the European Union. Our technology offers a sustainable and efficient solution to help curb the global water crisis, harnessing the power of waves to produce freshwater without relying on external power sources or harmful chemicals.

Ocean Oasis is proud to lead the DESALIFE project consortium, delivering emission-free, desalinated water powered by renewable energy to Gran Canaria. 🌊 By harnessing the power of waves, our technology offers a sustainable, zero-emission solution to increase local water production without the need for additional energy, CO2 emissions, or brine discharge. Kristine Bangstad Fredriksen, CEO and Co-Founder of Ocean Oasis, said: “At Ocean Oasis we believe that by harnessing the power of renewable energy, such as wave power, we have the potential to create a future where clean water is accessible and abundant, not scarce. This first-of a-kind project will demonstrate our solution for the Canary Islands, and the potential to deliver fresh water to other coastal areas and island nations facing water scarcity.” Our technology addresses the challenges associated with access to affordable and clean freshwater. More than 300 million people rely on desalination of seawater for their water supply, a number that is expected to double by 2030 due to climate change, droughts, increasing populations and urbanization. This marks a major milestone in our pursuit to provide clean water to communities in need. 👉 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eTXefyXc #GranCanaria #RenewableEnergy #CleanTech #Sustainability #WaveEnergy #Desalination #Innovation

DesaLIFE: proyecto para la desalación con energía de las olas en Canarias Ocean Oasis Canarias coordinará el consorcio que apuesta por una innovadora tecnología de desalación que utiliza energía de las olas (undimotriz) en el norte de Gran Canaria. 🌊 👉 El objetivo del proyecto: validar la desalinización undimotriz como una solución sostenible y asequible para garantizar el futuro del agua de la isla, facilitando la transición a una economía sostenible y resiliente al cambio climático en el archipiélago. El consorcio DESALIFE: Ocean Oasis Canarias, Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias , Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (PLOCAN), el Grupo de Investigación en Sistemas de Energías Renovables (GRRES) de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y elittoral. Con la colaboración del Consejo Insular de Aguas de Gran Canaria y el apoyo del CABILDO DE GRAN CANARIA y del Gobierno de Canarias. #Tecnología, #desalación, #agua, #innovación, #Canarias, #descarbonización #RecursosHídricos, #GobCan, #TransiciónEcológica, #EnergíaRenovable, #Sostenibilidad, #blueeconomy

At Ocean Oasis, we believe in a future where clean water is abundant, not scarce. We are honoured to announce that the Ocean Oasis led consortium has received a €6 million grant from the EU. The consortium’s DESALIFE (Desalination for Environmental Sustainability And LIFE) project will test and validate Ocean Oasis’ wave-powered solution providing desalinated water from floating buoys off the coast of Gran Canaria. The islands in the archipelago face serious water shortage problems, putting pressure on already depleted water resources. The project will build and deploy the first fleet of Ocean Oasis’ offshore desalination buoys to provide water for 15,000 people on the island, with Gran Canaria Island Water Council CABILDO DE GRAN CANARIA. Make sure to read the press release below for the full details. DESALIFE partners: Ocean Oasis , Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias, Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (PLOCAN), The Group for the Research on Renewable Energy Systems: Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and elittoral. #Water #GranCanaria #RenewableEnergy #CleanTech #Sustainability #WaveEnergy #Desalination #Innovation
