A correctly dimensioned and designed bubble curtain system may prevent storm systems from growing into devastating Tropical Cyclones or stop an already developed Tropical Cyclone from increasing its strength as long as Tropical Cyclone is heading into the well-mixed, downstream area of the bubble curtain system.

When the criterion above is fulfilled, the hurricane will stop or reduce its growth, thus diminishing the damages.

No, it is an underwater system not visible in the surface.

Yes, these systems will be completely submerged several tens of meters below the surface.

Bubble curtain systems deployed in Norway have been in operation for more than 50 years without larger maintenance or replacements. Further engineering and exhaustive testing will be required for safe deployment at scale in the context of Tropical Cyclone mitigation.

There is no expectation of any impact on the marine life. A scientific study on potential ecological impacts will be performed by an independent research organization prior to system deployment.

The CO2-footprint is mainly related to the power consumption of the compressors during the hurricane season (estimation is 20 days/year). The social cost of the CO2-footprint caused by the power consumption is expected to represent an insignificant fraction of the avoided costs of reducing the Sea-Surface Temperatures (SST) and thus the damage from hurricanes.

A deep-water field test performed in the Fall of 2019 confirmed the viability of the bubble curtain system for depths down to 50 meters. Additional testing is needed to confirm technology viability at deeper depths. In 2021, we concluded our Virtual Proof of Concept study in collaboration with SINTEF, where a bubble curtain representation was modelled through a coupling of the SURE (gas) and SINMOD (ocean) models to simulate our concept. The study validates our principles, and temporary cooling of the water column was achieved at scale.
