Innovations to Support Biodiversity in Offshore Wind White Paper
SeaAhead, Orsted, Venterra Energy Solutions Fisheries & Aquaculture
To understand the opportunity for startups and investors, SeaAhead analyzed our database of >2,000 ocean-related startups and with support from partners Ørsted and Venterra Group, categorized a sample of >150 relevant to supporting biodiversity in OSW as:
- Protections: Startups that avoid, reduce, and mitigate harm to biodiversity, including from turbine collisions, disturbances from vessels, and noise.
- Restorations: Startups that restore and enhance the natural environment through habitat structures or by directly restoring affected species.
- Enabling Technologies: Startups that facilitate biodiversity by sensing, measuring and collecting essential data, and communicating and providing data insights for decision-making.
This report highlights key companies seeking to drive this transformation. These startups are innovating across all stages of the offshore wind development timeline, with positive impacts for all affected species groups. We also identified co-use opportunities, which can address biodiversity while accomplishing additional goals, such as aquaculture production or carbon removal in the wind farm space.
