5 profile visitsPotential applicant for a funded RTDI project
I am the founder & CEO of GKinetic Energy & the originator behind how the turbine maximizes power extraction. I am passionate about producing renewable energy.
My organisation
We are GKinetic Energy Ltd, specialising in innovative renewable energy solutions. Founded in 2014, we are an Irish based hydrokinetic energy technology developer of floating / fixed vertical axis turbine devices for use in rivers, canals, industrial outflow channels and tidal estuaries. Basically, where there is a river, we have the potential for power generation. At GKinetic Energy Ltd, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of clean energy and shaping a more sustainable future for all.
About me
I have over 30 years’ experience in project management, and am recognised as a successful entrepreneur generating growth and jobs as well as providing work to specialists in the field of marine renewable energy. Key points of his role as CEO of GKinetic include the following:
-
Over €3.9 million in funding secured towards development of technology
-
6 years served on the Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland (MaREI) board
-
Winner of the Design Award at the Sustainable Energy Awards hosted by SEAI
-
Serves on the board of the National Standard Authority of Ireland for Marine Energy
-
Project Managed 3 full scale deployments and testing as well as 2 lab tests of technology
With a strong background working across construction, marine and engineering industries, the challenge of cracking a viable solution for tidal energy generation was something I had been researching for years.
My organisation
GKinetic Energy Ltd
GKinetic is at the forefront of hydrokinetic energy generation. We have developed an innovative turbine to harness maximum energy from water currents. We can supply turbines that be can installed in large and small water channels, rivers and tidal estuaries. Our systems have received regulatory permitting for installaion in Natura 2000 designated area, validating the eco-friendliness of our design.
