Solar Saves Seafood
ABC Solar Inc. Moves into Berth 57 at AltaSea to Launch Groundbreaking Solar Saves Seafood Initiative
Los Angeles, CA – November 16, 2024 – ABC Solar Incorporated, a leader in renewable energy innovation, is proud to announce its expansion into Berth 57 at AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles, a world-class innovation hub dedicated to ocean sustainability. From this strategic new home, ABC Solar will spearhead its Solar Saves Seafood initiative, an ambitious program that aims to revolutionize fisheries and coastal communities in Los Angeles, Louisiana, and beyond.
Empowering Coastal Economies with Clean Energy
The Solar Saves Seafood initiative harnesses solar power and electric vehicle (EV) technology to transform fishing fleets into clean, sustainable powerhouses. By converting diesel-powered fishing boats into EVs equipped with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capabilities, ABC Solar aims to create a ripple of renewable energy innovation that will extend across the Pacific.
"Berth 57 is the perfect launchpad for Solar Saves Seafood," said Bradley Bartz, founder of ABC Solar Incorporated and the Louisiana Future Projects Corporation, a nonprofit organization supporting global renewable energy projects. "Here, we’re combining solar innovation, ocean technology, and community development to turn fishing fleets into mobile power stations that can energize entire villages."
Solar-Powered Fishing Fleets: A Game-Changer
- Powering Communities: A single EV fishing boat with a 2,000 kWh battery can provide electricity to homes overnight. A fleet of 10 boats can power an entire village, drastically reducing reliance on diesel.
- Boosting Sustainability: The initiative eliminates harmful diesel emissions, protects marine ecosystems, and generates carbon credits under the Paris Agreement.
- Creating Jobs and Revenue: Local construction of microgrids and electrification projects will bring employment and economic growth to coastal regions.
Why Berth 57 at AltaSea?
AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles is a premier hub for ocean-focused innovation, offering access to cutting-edge facilities, academic partnerships, and a collaborative network of sustainability pioneers. By establishing operations at Berth 57, ABC Solar is positioned to:
- Accelerate the Solar Saves Seafood program by leveraging AltaSea’s infrastructure and expertise.
- Collaborate with marine scientists, renewable energy leaders, and ocean-focused nonprofits.
- Showcase the program’s potential to inspire similar initiatives in coastal communities around the world.
"Our mission is to electrify fisheries, power homes, and build a cleaner future," Bartz said. "AltaSea provides the environment and resources we need to bring this vision to life and create a global impact."
A Ripple Across the Pacific Starting in Los Angeles
The Solar Saves Seafood initiative begins right here in Los Angeles, where innovation meets sustainability at AltaSea’s Berth 57. From this hub of renewable energy and ocean-focused development, the program will prototype solutions to electrify fishing fleets, integrate solar-powered microgrids, and transform coastal economies.
By establishing its foundation in Los Angeles, Solar Saves Seafood leverages the city’s robust infrastructure, access to cutting-edge technology, and global connections. This first phase will serve as a demonstration of the initiative’s scalability and its potential to uplift coastal communities while significantly reducing environmental impact.
From Los Angeles, the program will expand its reach across the Pacific, with plans to bring this innovative model to coastal regions in Papua New Guinea, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and beyond. The vision is clear: to spark a wave of renewable energy transformation that empowers communities and protects the environment across the globe.
