The objectives of vTI-SF are the establishment of a suitable geodata bank, definition of areas for co-utilization for energy generation and aquaculture, the evaluation of possible scenarios for such systems as well as the analysis of the economic feasibility including cost accounting, investment appraisal and sensitivity analyses.
