QED Naval
title: Summary
collapse: open
QED Naval is a turbine manufacturer and maintenance platform for Tidal energy. Based in Edinburgh, they have developped a highly scalable and easy-to-maintain turbine within a very young method of energy production: Tidal.
style: number
Investment thesis
Tidal Energy is clean, under-reaearched and under-exploited at present. It is more stable and less cost-intensive than other renewable energy sources as well as less invasive and impactful on the environment. QED Naval's Unique Selling Point lies in the development of a highly scalable (associated within a park thereof) and easy-to-maintain turbine module (Subhub).
Risk profile
High risk Very early stage of the project in a fast-moving industry. Regulatory and Implementation risks are high whilst funding risk quite low given current round of VC & the securing of a pilot project (TIGER)
