Applications
One platform. Many coastlines.
The same floating structure, sited for very different jobs at sea — from replacing island diesel to making freshwater.
Priority early applications
Start with the problem, not the platform.
NoviOcean has approximately twelve credible applications management estimate. All remain discoverable, because a visitor may not initially realize that the same offshore platform can support their particular need. Four of them lead today, and each has its own page — the customer problem, what NoviOcean brings to it, and a possible route to a first project.
Remote islands and coastal communities
High diesel costs, energy security, constrained grids and limited land.
One floating platform generates wave, wind and solar power from a single structure, a single mooring and a single cable to shore — and nothing is built on land.

Coastal data centers and critical infrastructure
Rapidly growing electricity demand and interest in local, more stable clean energy.
Generation sits in the water in front of the load rather than at the far end of a congested onshore connection, so a campus adds capacity in whole units.

Desalination and water security
Energy-intensive freshwater production in a world facing increasing water stress.
The platform can carry containerised desalination on board, so freshwater is produced where the energy is generated and the plant can run hardest when energy is abundant.

Aquaculture and remote fish farms
Frequently off-grid or weak-grid, often diesel-dependent, and relevant across South America, Asia, Norway and other coastal markets.
Power generated beside the pens displaces generator hours and fuel deliveries, using the moorings, vessels and offshore routines a farm already runs.
Read moreThe yearly effect
What a single unit displaces.
Where a unit replaces diesel generation, this is the pair of numbers customers ask about first.
1,000,000 litres
Diesel eliminated, per unit, per year
Fuel that no longer has to be bought, shipped and stored at the site.
modeled~2,500 tonnes
CO₂e avoided annually, per unit
Emissions avoided by the diesel generation the unit replaces.
modeledExpressed as output rather than avoidance, the same unit corresponds to approximately 2,500 MWh of electricity per year — or, where a site needs water more than power, desalination of 70,000–100,000 litres per hour. modeled
All of these figures describe one unit in a diesel-displacing application. Actual savings depend on the site, the load profile and the plant being replaced.
The wider opportunity set
Priorities can move. The platform does not have to.
Priority applications may change with project traction, energy prices and policy support. Grid markets in the UK, Taiwan or elsewhere can become early opportunities where support mechanisms provide stronger remuneration.
Eight further applications are documented on their own page. They are listed here by name so that a visitor arriving with one of these needs can recognise it immediately.
One array. One cable to shore.
For illustration only — the actual design is shared in closer dialogues.
