3 INTRODUCTION - PLOCAN National Government (50%) 50 M Regional Government (50%) Main objective : design and construction of an offshore platform for Research & Innovation in the marine science and technologies. The PLOCAN Platform will be a fixed structure Located off the East coast of the Gran Canaria Island Distance from the coast: 4km Depths around 30m. Fernando Montecruz

10 CHALLENGES Year 2005 More than half of the population lived within 200 km of the coast Year 2025 Number of citizens living in these areas will be doubled Challenge: To share sites, infrastructures and costs in diverse activities to be implemented offshore Multi-Use Oceanic Platforms Concept

11 CHALLENGES 1.- Offshore Renewable Energies

12 CHALLENGES Energy evolution Necessity for space management Annual offshore wind capacity will increase from 1.1 GW in 2011 to 6.5 GW in 2020, an average net increase of 21.5% per year The space should be shared

13 CHALLENGES 2.- Maritime Transport

14 CHALLENGES 3.- Offshore Aquaculture Thomas Bjørkan

15 CHALLENGES 4.- Leisure

16 CHALLENGES Multi-use oceanic Platform - Hybrids, synergies - Why not?, Business model

17 3 funded projects CHALLENGES OCEAN : Multi-use offshore platforms

18 OBJECTIVES Three offshore platform designs for Mediterranean, Subtropical and Tropical scenarios Integration among renewable energies, offshore aquaculture, transport and leisure Assess the economic feasibility and viability Develop environmental impact methodology and assessment

22 Modular approach PROGRESS

23 PROGRESS Modular approach - Artistic representation

24 PROGRESS Modular approach The TEAL (Transport, Energy, Aquaculture and Leisure) Components Leisure

25 PROGRESS Modular Approach - The Example of the Canary Islands Transport - Existing Port Infrastructures

26 PROGRESS Modular Approach - The Example of the Canary Islands Energy - Local mix of resources - Example of Annual Average Wind Speed

27 PROGRESS Modular Approach - The Example of the Canary Islands Aquaculture - Local market and several studies carried out

28 PROGRESS Modular Approach - The Example of the Canary Islands Leisure - Local economy mainly based on tourism

29 PROGRESS Modular Approach - The Example of the Canary Islands 4 possible locations have been defined as an initial draft Aquaculture 4 Gran Canaria island 1 Transport 3 Leisure 2 Energy

32 PROGRESS Crete (Greece)

33 PROGRESS Taiwan Penghu Archipelagos 50x50 Km Green Island 50x50 Km LiuChiuYu 50x50 Km

34 PROGRESS Definition of extreme concepts The Leisure Case

35 PROGRESS Definition of extreme concepts The Industrial Case

36 PROGRESS Modular Approach Technological aspects Technologies being defined at the moment

37 CONCLUSIONS The TROPOS Project will deliver 3 offshore platform designs defined by regions: Mediterranean Greece Tropical Taiwan Subtropical Canary Islands The TROPOS Project will show different sectors working together in an offshore platform: Transport Energy Aquaculture Leisure
