Italian national agency for energy and new technologies ENEA has launched the first national survey on new technologies that exploit energy from tidal currents and sea waves.
Finnish wave energy company Wello has deployed its Penguin wave energy device off the coast of Bilbao in the Basque Country.
Orbital Marine Power’s O2, deemed the world’s most powerful tidal turbine, has started grid-connected power generation offshore Orkney in Scotland. The turbine is also set to provide power for green hydrogen generation to facilitate decarbonisation of wider energy requirements.
French offshore cabling specialist Nexans has been awarded a contract by Equinor to supply power export cable for its floating solar pilot offshore Frøya in Norway.
Boosting offshore renewables will accelerate the energy transition and allow G20 countries to build a resilient and sustainable energy system, a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has found. The report has also outlined specific courses of action to make this happen.
The Mutriku wave power plant, located in the Basque Country in northern Spain, has reached a ten-year milestone of uninterrupted clean power generation, becoming the longest operating commercial plant of its kind in the world.
UK-based oil and gas major BP and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping have signed a partnership agreement to work on the development of new alternative fuels and low carbon solutions for the shipping industry.
A newcomer in the wave energy sector, founded only a year ago with a name that pretty much speaks for itself – Dutch Wave Power – is preparing to launch its scaled wave energy prototype device for real sea trials offshore The Hague in the Netherlands.
Renewable electricity has been a remarkable success over the past 20 years, but the same cannot be said for other energy uses. However, the global energy transition trend stands to change this as witnessed in a week behind us by a number of collaborative initiatives launched to address the challenge
An innovative £10 million research project, led by the University of Strathclyde, has been set up to investigate the potential of harnessing offshore wind and marine renewable energy to produce zero-carbon hydrogen and ammonia fuels.
Dublin-based information and communications technology (ICT) consultancy Mindseed has formed partnership with Ocean Energy to assess the potential benefits of using satellite-based services within the marine energy sector to address key operational challenges.
Three teams have started working on feasibility studies in the field of space technology and data to accelerate the roll-out of marine energy following the tender from European Space Agency (ESA) issued in cooperation with Dutch Marine Energy Centre (DMEC).
French-based start-up HelioRec has completed the testing of its floating solar technology model at wave tank in Ecole Centrale de Nantes, reaching another milestone on its path to technology commercialisation.
French energy major TotalEnergies and energy transition company Technip Energies have teamed up to decarbonise LNG plants and offshore facilities for the energy transition push.
