Manta Boat: Ocean Cleanup and Energy Transformation

The Manta boat is a revolutionary concept designed to clean ocean trash and convert it into energy. It aims to be the first factory boat capable of managing and processing plastic waste into synthetic gas for fuel. Equipped with renewable energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines, and hydro generators, the boat can operate without fossil fuels. It will collect plastic from the ocean, processing up to three tons per hour, with a goal of removing 5,000 to 10,000 tons annually. Additionally, the Manta boat will support scientific research, public education, and promote a circular economy. Construction was planned to start in 2022, with its first mission in 2024.
