A lot of green technologies revolve around efficiency. Normally it is about making more with the same amount of energy. Sicco Kamminga of the company Nort-ek BV does the same, only he makes data more efficient. With a technique called SeaDarQ, a radar-based tool, it is easy to spot oil spills from a large distance, making the cleaning process much more effective. "With SeaDarQ you can detect the oil before it washes ashore. Cleaning up oil when it floats on water is much easier than when it sticks to rocks or is laying on the beach." This summer, a light version of the system will also be available.
