NSF#1 will be installed in 2022, with a first harvest in 2023. <\/p>\n<p>Offshore cultivation and use of seaweed contribute broadly to priority sustainable development issues such as energy transition, sustainable food and circular economy. With these, they serve SDG3 (good health and wellbeing), SDG7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), SDG12 (responsible consumption and production), SDG 13 (climate action) and SDG 14 (life below water).<\/p>\n<p>Reimert has worked as a system engineer on energy transition innovations and is widely seen as an expert in all aspects of the windfarm multi-use concept, including nature-inclusive innovations. These include the Eco-Anchor, which enables the protection of biodiversity &#8211; a requirement for scaling up sustainable offshore seaweed cultivation. Zinzi is spearheading the cross-sector team developing the Eco-Anchor. Having already developed the design based on state-of-the-art research and built a prototype, they are currently testing it in an offshore environment. An important part of Zinzi&#8217;s work is to engage the general public in the process to create awareness and goodwill. <\/p>\n\t<meta itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WebPage\" itemid=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/person\/catalina-spataru\/\" content=\"Catalina Spataru\" \/><meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2021-09-02\" \/><meta itemprop=\"dateModified\" content=\"2021-09-22\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"G-STIC Dubai\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/02\/G-STIC-logo-blue-horizontal.png\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/author\/sonja\/\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"sonja\" \/><meta itemprop=\"interactionType\" content=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CommentAction\" \/><meta itemprop=\"userInteractionCount\" content=\"0\" \/><!DOCTYPE html>\n    \t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/09\/Catalina-Spataru-240x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Catalina Spataru\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\tMeet <br \/> Catalina Spataru \n\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t Catalina Spataru \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUniversity College London \n\t\t\t\t                \t\t\t\t\t<br \/>Professor of Global Energy and Resources\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"closeSide()\">&times;<\/a>\n        <br \/>\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/09\/Catalina-Spataru-240x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Catalina Spataru\"\/>\n     Catalina Spataru\n\tUniversity College London  \n    \tProfessor of Global Energy and Resources\n\n                        Oceans\n\n    \tMeet  Catalina Spataru\n            <p>24\/10\/2021<\/p>\n            <p> Panelist on Debate during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/themes\/oceans\/#programme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Artificial islands and sustainable blue growth<\/a> session.<\/p>\n            <p>24\/10\/2021<\/p>\n            <p> Presenting &#8220;Blue-Green&#8221; Artificial islands &#8211; power hubs of clean energy transitions during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/dubai\/themes\/oceans\/#programme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Artificial islands and sustainable blue growth<\/a> session.<\/p>\n\tBiography\n    <p>Catalina Spataru is a professor of Global Energy and Resources at UCL, the founder and Head of UCL Islands Laboratory, and Deputy Director of the UCL Energy Institute.
