Predictable – Energy rich – Reliable – Global Deep Green can supply 50% of South Koreas electric needs 26 June 2014
Why Minesto? Low cost of energy
Access to sites
• Increases the velocity with a factor of 10 • Low CAPEX due to low weight (between 5-10% of competing solutions) • Low OPEX due to the use of small ships(between 4-10% of competing cost)
• Unique ability to produce electricity from low and medium flow tidal- and ocean currents • Increase the potential for tidal energy with 50% in Europe • Access sites that no other known technology can be competitive at

•30MW site developed by TB Partners LLB and Isle of Wight Council •Possible for a 5MW “plug and play” solution for Minesto
Deep Green – A Step Change Technology • High efficiency
– Due to the ability to increase the relative flow by a factor of 10.
• Small in size and lightweight
– A 0.5MW plant weighs 7 tonnes, which is 10-25 times less per MW than competing technologies designed for hot-spot sites (over 2.4m/s).
• Low-cost offshore operations
– Smaller boats and equipment for installation, service and maintenance.
• Availability at sites for offshore operations
– In high-velocity currents boats can only operate for a maximum of 3 hours per day. Deep Green sites are accessible up to 14 hours per day so costs for offshore operations decrease.
• Lowest cost of energy
– The unique design and all the above reasons lead to the ultimate advantage of a low cost of energy.

The Deep Green Technology
26 June 2014
Environmental Effects One Deep Green can abate 1 400 tonnes of CO2-emissions per year Mission: Secure no negative interaction with the marine environment What we do: Environmental protection and assessments • Mammal detection system used during ocean trials • Build knowledge and gather scientific data for future installations • Close cooperation with world leading researchers –
Bangor University, Swansea University, Queens University of Belfast, Chalmers University of Technology, SMRU, PMSS and Marenco
Conclusions to date: Positive effects on marine life • Mammals adapt well – No negative impact detected • Installations can create artificial reefs • Installation area is protected from bottom trawling “Environmental effects from tidal energy devices may be somewhat limited because they will be located in already energetic, moving water environments, which have low species diversity and abundances” – IPCC
