Clean Marine Group Joins Blue Action Lab: A United Front for Ocean Innovation

At Clean Marine Group (CMG), we are proud to announce our membership in the Blue Action Lab, a collaborative innovation hub created to accelerate solutions for ocean and climate resilience. As an organisation leading the decarbonisation of the maritime industry by converting MARPOL waste into renewable fuels, joining this forward-thinking community is a natural extension of our mission.

Our mission is to create a scalable, commercially viable, and sustainable waste-to-fuel ecosystem, providing alternative fuels and energy solutions for the shipping industry.

Joining the Blue Action Lab enables us to collaborate with like-minded pioneers and innovators who are equally committed to ocean conservation, technological advancement, and sustainable economic transformation. Based in the Bahamas—a region rich in marine biodiversity but increasingly vulnerable to climate threats—the Lab provides an ideal platform for testing, sharing, and scaling impactful solutions.

Why Blue Action Lab?

The Blue Action Lab isn’t just a co-working space or research centre. It’s a multidisciplinary ecosystem where science, community, business, and policy intersect. Designed to accelerate ocean-based climate solutions, the Lab offers state-of-the-art facilities, collaborative programmes, and direct access to coastal and marine environments that support testing and refinement of innovative technologies.

For Clean Marine Group, the Lab represents a unique opportunity to contribute our expertise in maritime waste recovery and fuel innovation while learning from others working across blue carbon, circular economy, marine biodiversity, coastal resilience, and sustainable fisheries.

Shared Vision for Impact

The Blue Action Lab is driven by a bold but achievable vision: to build a climate-resilient ocean economy that works for people and the planet. This vision is closely aligned with CMG’s purpose—reducing the environmental footprint of global shipping while generating tangible economic value through waste-to-fuel innovation.

As part of the Lab, we’ll have opportunities to participate in solution accelerators, knowledge exchanges, pilot programmes, and regional capacity-building efforts. We see immense value in contributing to joint projects that explore not just clean technology, but also policy frameworks, community engagement strategies, and education around climate adaptation.

The Bahamas as a Living Laboratory

With its pristine marine ecosystems, frontline exposure to climate change, and growing urgency for sustainable solutions, The Bahamas provides the perfect living laboratory for innovation. By participating in the Blue Action Lab, Clean Marine Group is deepening its investment in the region—not only as a site for operations, but as a global example of marine resilience and innovation.

This partnership also supports our broader ambition to demonstrate how decarbonisation of the maritime sector can go hand in hand with ecosystem regeneration, economic resilience, and environmental justice.

What’s Next

As we settle into this exciting new partnership, our focus remains on scaling impact. Clean Marine Group will bring to the Blue Action Lab its deep experience in circular economy models, maritime sustainability, and renewable fuels. In return, we’re eager to engage with the diverse network of scientists, entrepreneurs, and advocates who make the Lab a world-class innovation environment.

Together, we believe we can accelerate meaningful change—for our oceans, for our climate, and for future generations.
