C·Power Selected for WPTO Small Business Innovation Project

C·Power was selected for a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant by the Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) as part of its $4.4 million award announcement.

The project - Wave Energy Power Generation System for Hybrid Oil and Gas Drill Rigs - will explore opportunities for wave energy to offset the carbon cost of conventional offshore energy sourcing. C·Power will deliver a preliminary wave energy conversion prototype - RigRAY - to validate a commercially viable path to providing renewable power to remote offshore oil and gas platforms. The ultimate goal is to partially or completely replace on-board, carbon-based power systems used for powering offshore operations in the Blue Economy.
