Solution presented by the students of Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil- member of SDSN Brazil
The OG2OW proposal by students at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), suggests repurposing offshore oil platforms into wind energy installations, enhancing integration through an interactive decision-making tool. The initiative promotes offshore wind for green hydrogen and ammonia production while also advocating for repurposing pipelines for environmental benefits. It integrates macroalgae cultivation on wind structures for ecological innovation, aiming to extend platform lifespans, reduce costs, and advance toward the SDGs.
