Abstract

The CRIMSON project aims at bringing to market a reliable, sustainable marine energy turbine
through the application of novel materials and technologies over the complete life cycle of the
product. The key driver for this project is the global potential to generate 120GW of clean,
predictable electricity from the kinetic energy in rivers and tidal currents. The project will
provide a high-performance, low-cost marine hydrokinetic (MHK) power systems to the market using
manufacturing techniques suitable for high volume manufacturing with recycled materials and thus
remove an important obstacle in the full-scale commercialisation of marine energy.
