Wavepower Technologies, a private investor in the wave energy industry, is looking for wave energy professionals who would help the company deliver its aim of advancing the sector.
The OCEANERA-NET initiative has launched a second joint call 2016 for collaborative research in ocean energy sector.
AGR has finalised a frame agreement to act as technical advisors to Norwegian state-owned Gassnova, as the country progresses with its Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) development. Gassnova has overall responsibility for the research, development and implementation of CCS technology in Norway. The N
Techniques being developed through research in the field of neuroscience could boost the operation of wave energy converters. Technology harvesting energy from ocean waves is akin to the brain processing sound in that both are complex systems responding to incoming waves. Thus, the possibility of co
SKF Ocean Energy team was in Harland and Wolff recently to inspect the final commissioning phase of Scotrenewables Tidal Power’s SR2000 floating tidal turbine before launch in March. SKF, a global technology provider, has been working with the engineering team at Scotrenewables Tidal Power to supply
Several tidal and wave energy projects have been granted funding in the latest round of Horizon 2020 SME Instrument for Phase 1.
Swedish wave energy developer, CorPower Ocean, has signed up to test its resonant wave energy converter at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC). The announcement follows CorPower’s success in Wave Energy Scotland’s (WES) power-take-off (PTO) call that, combined with funding from KIC InnoEnergy a
Subsidiary of the US-based tidal energy developer Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC), ORPC Ireland, has organized public meetings to present the feasibility assessment results of tidal energy opportunities in the coastal waters of County Donegal, Ireland. The project, funded by the Sustainable Ene
As a part of five new initiatives to accelerate cutting-edge technology development, GE Oil & Gas has launched a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to develop a new and simplified subsea boosting system.
