ocean energy
An innovative project, combining wave power with subsea energy storage, has concluded a successful 12-month test programme aimed at providing low carbon power and communications to subsea equipment
The projects aim to advance wave energy technologies towards commercial viability
The projects aim to overcome challenges of devices that capture the energy generated by waves and convert it into a renewable source of electricity
The course aims to educate engineers in sustainable energy systems
They intend to promote the right policy incentives and innovative business models in Europe and globally to help boost ocean energy technologies
That is a five-fold increase by 2030 and 25-fold increase by 2050, from the current offshore wind capacity target of 12GW
SIMEC Atlantis Energy says the electricity would be supplied via a private wire network from tidal turbines at the existing MeyGen project site
Projects including tidal and wave will now be eligible for the non-solar Renewable Purchase Obligation scheme
Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland have joined forces to advance the development of ocean energy. Led by three state bodies – the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), Invest Northern Ireland and Scottish Enterprise – the new Ocean Power Innovation Network (OPIN) also aims to drive technology innovation. They will focus on collaborative initiatives, knowledge […]
The global wave and tidal energy market is forecast to be worth $11.3 billion (£8bn) by 2024. That’s an increase from $497 million (£497m) in 2014, according to new research. It states wave and tidal power, two major forms of harnessing ocean energy, are likely to experience “significant” market growth in terms of installed capacity […]
