WINAQUACORE
Winning the Aquatic Core
A transnational, technologically integrated platform designed to form a new level of management of the marine space through the integration of environmental, energy, engineering, scientific and humanitarian components within the framework of an international coalition.
Key Principles
Synthesis
Integration of engineering, ecology, humanitarian logic, R&D and industrial potential
Coordination
Mechanism between EU states, allied nations, agencies and private investors
Applied Approach
Each component implemented as a functioning system, platform or node
Reconstruction
Embedded in post-conflict reconstruction of Ukraine and coastal countries
Global Compliance
Direct alignment with SDGs, EU Green Deal, Blue Economy, 3SI, Climate Resilience
Security Focus
Technical response to military-political threats through modular restoration
Geopolitical & Strategic Context
The Black Sea is currently a space of overlapping multi-layered risks: environmental, military-political, energy and logistical. It is both a point of geopolitical pressure and a potential zone of integration, stability and technological evolution.
Six Technology Clusters
WINAQUACORE relies on six interconnected technology clusters. Each is a module of an integrated platform synchronized with infrastructural, humanitarian and energy priorities.
Sensor Observation System
Autonomous marine buoys with multiparametric probes (pH, ORP, O₂, H₂S, salinity, temperature), bottom stations with fiber optic cables, hydrophones and laser spectrometers.
Biological Regeneration
Artificial reefs made of sol-gel concretes with zeolites and bioactive glasses; biofiltration using nitrifying bacteria, Bacillus subtilis, diatoms.
Hydrogen Sulfide Recovery
Diaphragm reactors on polyimide and fluoroethylene propylene membranes; AISI 904L steel pumps with titanium corrosion protection.
Toxic Objects Disposal
Plasma reactors, borosilicate encapsulation, robotic arms with chambers and grabs; composite containers with multi-stage chemical and mechanical insulation.
Comparative Analysis
WINAQUACORE synthesizes technologies and institutional tracks, expanding existing projects with engineering implementation, humanitarian vector and industrial cooperation.

H₂Sea Energy
Black Sea H₂S Recovery and Energy Project
Ключовий проєкт Сумського машинобудівного кластера з видобутку та енергетичного використання сірководню (H₂S) з глибинних шарів Чорного моря.
Чорне море містить близько 3 мільярди тонн розчиненого H₂S на глибині 200-2000 метрів. Технологія дозволяє перетворювати цей ресурс на чисту енергію з одночасною екологічною користю для морської екосистеми.
The Project is Open for Cooperation
WINAQUACORE is not just an international project, but the basis for formation of a trans-regional alliance of sustainability and trust in the Black Sea and beyond. The initiative brings together industrial potential of Europe, the political and humanitarian mission of Ukraine, high-tech Korea, the institutional connectivity of Latvia, and the EU's environmental and energy agenda.
