MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541002560 A) filed by Ravikumar Vijayan; and Udayshankar Ravikumar on January 10, 2025, for A Modular Integrated Floating Platform System For Renewable Energy Generation, Aquaculture, And Carbon Dioxide Capture And Sequestration.
Inventors include Ravikumar Vijayan; and Udayshankar Ravikumar.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a modular floating platform system configured for deployment in marine, coastal, brackish, backwater, or inland water bodies. The system integrates multiple functional subsystems on a buoyant structure, including: (i) a renewable energy generation module which may include one or more photovoltaic panels or wind turbines for powering onboard operations or exporting electrical energy; (ii) a biotic cultivation module for aquaculture, mariculture, or algaculture, utilizing submerged or suspended containment means such as cages, nets, bags, or similar structures attached to the platform for supporting diverse aquatic organisms; and (iii) an integrated carbon capture subsystem configured to facilitate capture, stabilization and sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, including through aqueous-phase alkalinity enhancement, mineralization, or related processes. By physically and functionally combining renewable energy generation, aquatic biomass production, and carbon capture within a single floating platform, the invention enhances surface area utilization, enables decentralized and self-powered operation, and provides a scalable solution for renewable energy generation, sustainable food production, and carbon dioxide mitigation without competing for terrestrial land resources.
