Description

Tema is specialized producer of AC synchronous permanent magnet electrical motors and variable speed generators for electric and hybrid marine implementations. Over the past 10 years TEMA has developed nearly 50 different motors and successfully implemented them in more than 250 complex projects all over the world, that support renewable energy, environmental care and sustainability.

Number of its results were published in scientific papers, and Tema was awarded series of Innovation awards from industry innovation fairs (Nurmberg, Brussel, Geneva…).

Unlike competitors, TEMA offers hybrid and electric solutions in the continuous power range. Its solutions are intended exclusively for marine applications, are robust heavy-duty machines and technologically advanced. TEMA provides unique solutions, specially designed for each customer''s needs.

Project:

This project addresses the need to reduce emissions by replacing fossil fuels with ethanol in propulsion systems of the maritime transport industry. The Ethanol based CHP (propulsion system) that will be developed for marine industry will then be used as a basis for developing energy efficient Heat Recovery System, a solution that extracts excess heat from the Ethanol CHP, as an alternative way of heating the buildings.

The project is focused on the growing demand for sustainable solutions within both industries.

The project has both, green and blue components, but for the purpose of this Call has been classified within Blue Growth focus area.

For the purposes of this project, TEMA is partnering with Gether AS from Norway. Partnership combines TEMA''s expertise in permanent magnet electric motors and variable speed generators in the maritime industry and Gether''s expertise in sustainable and efficient energy solutions.

Both partners will commercialize their own products, and will jointly file for a single IPR (ethanol based heat recovery system). Project will bring increased revenues/profit to both companies.
