L2M – Commercialization Strategy for a Dual-Function Ship Stabilization and Wave Energy Harvesting Module

This project will explore how to bring a new clean technology called Propel to market. Propel is a device that helps ships use less fuel by reducing how much they rock and move on the waves, while also turning that motion into clean electricity. The intern will talk to people in the shipping industry to better understand their needs, gather feedback, and see if this solution would work for them. By the end of the project, the partner organization (Lab2Market) will have a clearer idea of whether the technology is ready for real-world use and how to move forward with making it available to ship operators.
