Total Eligible cost : 696 759, 35€
Main outputs and Results
Specifically, this project addresses several electrolysis constraints by focusing on materials used in electrolytes, production costs and material durability, with the following technological advances:
- Develop a new process for the production of hydrogen using electrolysis based on PEM philosophy which substantially increases the efficiency of the process and also the quantities produced;
- Design and construct a proof of concept of a new electrolyzer with the PEM philosophy, with significant improvement of the performance of the equipment;
- Achieve a pioneer integration and combination of technologies for hydrogen production, storage and dispensing in a safe, environmentally friendly and economic way. A technical and functional validation of the results obtained in a laboratory / semi-industrial test scenario will be carried out;
- Generate new scientific knowledge resulting in a state of the art technology to convert internal combustion engines to run on low-purity hydrogen;
- Generate new scientific knowledge regarding the monitoring and management of the hydrogen production, storage and distribution process.
Project Description: Design an unmanned ocean patrol vessel (UOPV) that distinguishes itself from others.
Project Code : FA_04_2017_006 – UOPV – Unmanned Oceanic Patrol Vessel
Main Goal: This project aims to develop the prototype of an innovative multipurpose unmanned surface vessel (USV) within the scope of maritime security. The goal is to design an unmanned oceanic patrol vessel (UOPV) that distinguish from others due to its large payload, greater endurance and the capacity to change its equipment onboard according to the assigned mission.

Approval Date: 22-03-2019
Start Date: 01-04-2019
Conclusion Date: 31-03-2021
Total Eligible cost : 199.234,00€ (One hundred and ninety-nine thousand, two hundred and thirty-four euros)
Goals
- Develop an unmanned surface vessel, with a view to the subsequent manufacture of a fleet of unmanned surface patrol vessels, to patrol the extensive Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Portugal;
- Develop the technologies associated to remote control and artificial intelligence required by the autonomous operation of the vessel.
Main outputs and Results
The main outcome of the project is the advancement in the state of the art in maritime safety, and a step forward in Portugal’s territory surveillance capability. The following outputs have been identified:
- A new concept of green vehicle using hydrofoil technology with considerable pay load, therefore making it useful for special activities;
- A new marketable multi-purposed unmanned surface vessel that will fulfil the needs of several entities with oceanic activities. A device especially relevant for monitoring, patrolling, data collection among many other applications;
- An experimental proof of concept of the hydrofoil system as propulsion system.

Project 25.520
QREN – Incentive Scheme Qualification And Internationalization Of SMES
Start Date: 1st January 2012

Project 12.753
QREN – Incentive Scheme Qualification and Internationalization of SMES
Start Date: 1st January 2010
End Date: 31st December 2012
Goals: The business strategy followed by TecnoVeritas in recent years has been to provide services and develop new solutions to reduce the cost of energy and environmental sustainability. Since the Portuguese market hasn’t had enough industries to absorb our products, Tecnoveritas commitment his internationalization. In this sense, we intend to focus efforts on two specific markets: the European Union, especially in the case of Greece where there is a vast market of maritime activity and Southeast Asia where there has been a huge growth of industry in the last years. In the last years, we assist to an increase of restrictions to emission pollutants resulting in a great interest in our products. To accomplish with this objective, Tecnoveritas needs a strong commercial structure focused on internationalization to promote his products in the international market.
