QED Naval

QED Naval is a technology and project developer of hybrid-tidal energy solutions. The company asserts that tidal energy is 100% renewable and predictable, guaranteeing power throughout the year. It has developed a disruptive, self-deploying, turbine foundation platform called Subhub. The company claims that Subhub saves stakeholders 60% on deployment, operating and maintenance costs, and increases yield, by up to 48%, through its hydrodynamic hull design. It also points out that the UK has 50% of Europe’s tidal energy resource, and a predicted Gross Value Added (GVA) of £1.4 billion by 2030, ranking 2nd globally after Canada in a $76 billion global tidal energy market. QED Naval aims to become a significant contender in this segment. The company will use 20% of the investment towards team building, 70% in project delivery, and 10% towards growth and commercialisation.
