Seabreath LLC emerged from over three decades of dedicated research aimed at creating a wave energy converter capable of delivering truly viable power generation—combining economic competitiveness, resilience in extreme marine conditions and minimal environmental impact.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Parma, Italy, the company builds on a foundation of patents and academic studies initiated at the University of Padua in 2008. Over the years, these early innovations have evolved into advanced solutions and optimizations that may lead to additional patents, not only within wave energy but across broader blue‑economy applications.
To maintain agility and minimize fixed costs, Seabreath currently operates through a lean organizational model that leverages specialized external partners while focusing internal efforts on research and development. During the pilot phase, the company will rely on freelance professionals, with the intention of transitioning key contributors into long‑term roles, including potential equity participation upon successful milestones.

Seabreath collaborates with a network of high‑level partners, including:
•   a leading technology hub,
•   a specialized marine engineering firm,
•   a university with recognized expertise in wave energy,
•   a naval electronics design and manufacturing company,
•   a renewable‑energy instrumentation provider,
•   a precision metalworking company,
•   and additional sector experts.

We are also evaluating the production of hydrogen in partnership with a company that manufactures H₂‑powered leisure vessels and containerized production and storage systems, which could be seamlessly integrated with the rest of our infrastructure.

Seabreath is a small company with a bold vision: to deliver practical, scalable solutions to global energy and environmental challenges through next‑generation wave energy technology.

Furthermore, aligned with its mission to advance environmentally sustainable technologies and products, in collaboration with other partners, Seabreath has started to develop and commercialize high‑quality italian zeolite chabasite‑based products serving human, livestock, and agricultural markets. 

One of the biggest problem is

The world needs renewable and clean sources that are more stable and predictable. Wave motion is one of the most constant energy resources on the planet, yet existing technologies have not achieved a balance between cost, reliability, and resilience in open‑sea conditions.

Seabreath was created to solve this problem with a radically different approach: a modular, floating, multichambers, Wave Energy Converter system designed to withstand even extreme marine environments.

The current situation

• Global demand for renewable energy is growing faster than supply

• Wave energy remains an open market, with few mature players and enormous untapped potential

• European regulations are pushing for modular, low‑impact offshore solutions

• OWC technologies are still the most promising for reliability and scalability

Seabreath is positioned at the ideal moment to move from laboratory validation to real‑world deployment.

The Seabreath Solution

Seabreath is developing a wave energy converter based on multiple oscillating water column chambers, optimized for:

• Higher energy efficiency enabled by modularity

• Reduced installation and maintenance costs

• Structural robustness in severe metocean conditions

• Breack-water function

• Minimal environmental impact, with no invasive seabed mooring system

• With no concrete casting involved

• Without the acoustic pollution caused by air‑exit whistling, producing only a soft, breath‑like sound

Our market option

• Sale or licensing of the technology to utilities, offshore operators, and marine‑energy developers

• Recurring revenue from maintenance, upgrades, and modular components

• Potential expansion into related blue‑economy sectors (smart mooring, dedicated turbines, modular structures)

Steps already taken

Seabreath has already achieved significant milestones:

• Patents filed and validated

• Laboratory testing on multiple models at the University of Padua

• Presentations at international conferences and awards (Shanghai Expo, Kuwait International Fair, SMAU Lamarck Award, Marevivo)

• Active collaborations with technology centers, naval design firms, marine electronics companies, and renewable‑energy equipment providers

This combination of academic research, recognition, and technical partnerships forms a solid foundation for the next phase.

Next steps are

• Build the full‑scale 1:1 prototype of the modular floating OWCs WEC system

• Conduct sea trials to validate performance, resilience, and operating costs

• Prepare for industrialization and commercial partnerships

• Full technical validation

• Certifications required for market entry

• Initial pilot installations with utilities or offshore operators

Seabreath has

• 30 years of research behind it

• Patents and university testing already completed

• Active industrial collaborations

• A modular, scalable solution in a rapidly growing market

• Other marine solutions as:
  • a smart mooring
  • an optimized umbilical cable
  • a new swing-stop
  • a modular tubular lattice structure
    
  • a valve
    
  • a dedicated printed turbine
    
  • a floating and modular vertical-axis offshore wind turbine
