Blue growth/economy challenges

 Challenge: Economic activities in Europe‘s seas

and coasts are expected to intensify, diversify and expand further offshore.

 Handling cumulative impacts while running our

  • f pace.

 The development of large scale activities

  • ffshore and in deep sea areas requires
  • vercoming a series of technological and non-

technological challenges and assessment of the most promising and sustainable business models.

 One way to make use of our seas in a smarter,

more sustainable and less disruptive manner is to combine different activities at sea on a same location with multi-use offshore platforms.

Scotland: Wave energy converters as a means of powering

  • ffshore aquaculture installations.

Objectives of Maribe

INVESTMENT

Use the consortium’s diverse network to introduce project stakeholders to key advisors and potential investors.

3

CHALLENGES

Provide information on the socio-economic context and the key technical and non-technical challenges facing these projects based in part on lifecycle learning.

2

OPPORTNUTIES

Identify opportunities for Blue Growth sectors to combine with other sectors via multi-use of space or in multi-use platforms and assist in the development of the most promising projects within these combinations.

Deliverables

Unlock the potential of multi-use of space in the

  • ffshore economy

 Socio-economic context  Technical and non-technical barriers  Investment  Business models  Cooperation opportunities

Potential co-operations amongst industries

 Multiple use of space (MUS):A project where two

  • r more sectors share the same co-located space

but have no common platform. A MUS project can share infrastructure such as cabling and substations.  Multiple use of platform (MUP): A project where two or more sectors share the same co-located space but also share the same platform to achieve mutual benefit .

Business lifecycle stages of aquaculture sub-sectors and technologies

Life cycle stages Aquaculture sub-sectors Product development Integrated Multi-trophic Aquaculture Embryonic stage Offshore aquaculture Growth stage Organic aquaculture Mature stage Near shore cage culture of salmon, sea bass and sea bream Decline stage Marine and freshwater flow-through systems Recovery stage Extensive technologies

Benefits of combinations for aquaculture in different lifecycle stages

EU issues of aquaculture Benefits Administrative burdens Mature: support to move offshore, easier licensing Growth: increase capacity, reduce production costs Access to space and water Competitiveness Development or Embryonic: introduce new technologies, access to finance Competitive advantages due to high quality, health and environmental standards. All stages: Identification of challenges and encourage business interests

Mediterranean: Aquaculture + Wave Energy (B4)

 Coastal and off the coast aquaculture sites

are very limited in Malta

 Tourism is the priority on the islands  Low public acceptance of near shore

aquaculture

 Favourable environmental conditions for

  • ffshore aquaculture

 Renewable energy use is only 1.1% of

gross inland energy consumption in Malta. The goal for 2020 would be 10%.

AquaBioTech (Malta) and Albatern (UK) develop a business proposal for large scale offshore fish farm producing sea bass, sea bream and meagre. Energy needs of the farm will be provided by wave arrays and surplus supplied in the grid.
