Our Vision
MilvusNavi was founded with the vision to apply kite-based AWES (Airborne Wind Energy Systems) to selected energy-intensive industries.
Our AWES technology promises to minimize CapEX and OpEx at 5+ Megawatt energy output levels, while achieving fully automated deployment, safe airborne operating, and grounding.
To drive practical kite-based AWES adoption we focus on three areas:
- Integrating AWES into existing off-shore wind industry structure as complimentary model for floating platform off-shore wind energy farms.
- Designing an innovative solution to electrify maritime transportation by combining AWES with diesel, ammonia, and hydrogen-based ship propulsion systems.
- Establishing a viable technical and economic model for AWES industrial/commercial building roof-top application, and for locations lacking access to other sources of renewable energy.
Each market has a unique combination of challenges, and MilvusNavi will work hard on facilitating collaboration among industry, regulatory, financing, and environmental stakeholders to solve them.
