Research

We are conducting research in the area of marine and land transportation based on renewable energy.
We welcome at the Marine Naval institute any collaboration with the academy and industry to promote the use and integration of renewable energy mechanisms in the area of renewable transportation in all forms.
We have at our disposal high-resolution climate data that covers rural areas of Israel.
The data was contributed as the courtesy of Solcast ( http://solcast.com ) in the promotion of awareness for sustainable energy consumption, and research of the renewable energy feasibility in transportation.
The climate data contains solar irradiance, wind, temperature, and atmosphere parameters time series of 12 Years 5 min resolution historical data.
We look forward to receiving research proposals for quality research (please write to idan@imta.org.il).
