Performance

Use smart listening algorithms for robust performance in difficult acoustic environments such as

harbours.

Affordable

Use of cheap components enables lower costs than active sonar

Environmental-friendly

low power consumption

no harm to marine life

Covert operation

System does not betray its presence

Example BioConSept consortium

The aim of BioConSept:

Develop technically, economically &

ecologically viable bio-based chains that convert 2nd

generation biomass into valuable

platform chemicals and semi-/end-

products, which are 30% cheaper and

30% more sustainable than the conventional chemical route or

1st generation process
