MTR100: Subsea Batteries
cathode that doubles as the electrolyte. The cells have high energy density and specific energy, in some cases more than 1120 Wh/L and more than 520 Wh/kg, and they have very low rates of self-discharge. They are well suited to devices that are remotely deployed to the sea floor where there is no energy source available for charging, applications where the device is mobile but cannot remain at the surface long enough for adequate charging, and situations where the device will be idle for long periods.The company’s BCX solution is designed specifically for low temperature performance.

Windstaller Alliance to Deliver FEED for World's Most Powerful Tidal Power Farm
is already approved by French authorities, and in fact moving faster than the prospects we see within offshore wind. There are concrete plans for several 250 MW and 500 MW tidal parks in the same area (up to 2-3.5 GW). “Tidal power is perhaps somewhat unfairly overlooked as a renewable energy source, but the fact is that – unlike wind and solar power – you know exactly when and how much energy will be produced. We will do our best during the FEED to help realize the FloWatt project, which will position us well for a potential future development of the project,” concludes
Glosten Readies PelaStar for the US Wind Energy Market
terminal services tailored to the industry,” said Joel Whitman, president of Foss Offshore Wind. “Glosten’s comprehensive solutions and its success at aligning world-class partners move us in a significant positive direction toward bringing the vision to the development of this new energy source to fruition.”While Phase 1 provided an important confirmation of PelaStar’s design readiness, the team knows there are important challenges to address in the realization of floating wind off all the US coasts. To enable this once-in-a-generation industrial capacity, significant investments
Tidal Energy to Power Off-Grid Island in SE Asia
A tidal-energy demonstration off the grid of Singapore will start generating power for the first time in South East Asia.NYK is participating in the demonstration project, which is being conducted by Bluenergy Solutions, a marine renewable energy solutionprovider, off Raffles Lighthouse on Satumu Island, about 14 kmfrom the main island of Singapore.Tidal energy uses tidal currents, which are stable in volume and direction throughout the year, making them an extremely efficient renewable energy source, featuring a generated amount of power, that is easy to predict.
In the Navy:The Role of Advanced Sea Mines in Future Conflicts
to change – dramatically. For over half a century, a quiet, slow-motion convergence of mines, torpedoes, and UUVs has been underway, beginning during the Cold War with the development of the encapsulated torpedo mine. Although its modern-day descendant, the Hammerhead, now has a high-density energy source, more sophisticated sensors, algorithmic processing, and the ability to communicate, it still remains tethered to the seabed. What if the Mk-54 liquid fuel propulsion system were replaced with a high density battery-driven system, transforming it into a loitering, armed UUV? Such a weapon already
Funding Granted for "World’s First" Vessel Charging Station within Offshore Wind Farm
maritime sector is the range and duration at which electric and hybrid vessels can operate. Currently, vessels can only be charged within ports, and most wind farms are too far from shore to allow journeys to be fully completed on battery power. Enabling offshore charging from a zero-emission energy source will allow CTVs to operate on electric power for the majority of the time, extending operational range and significantly reducing emissions. This breakthrough technology will enable full electric operation in the future," the companies behind the technology says.George Smith, Managing Director
BMT's Off-grid Project Enabling Rural Electrification in Canada
biomass, ocean energy, and wind generation technologies become the lowest-cost ways to generate electricity”.Microgrids are becoming increasingly attractive because of their role in achieving sustainable energy systems. Microgrids enable efficient, renewable, clean energy by integrating various energy sources, including solar photovoltaic (PV), biomass and wind, BMT said.“As investment costs of a wide range of low carbon generation technologies are projected to continue to fall, the challenge is now one of system integration. With the rise of consumer consciousness of environmental impact,
ORE Catapult: Tidal Stream Energy Costs Could Plummet If Current Opportunity is Realized
TSE could dramatically improve domestic energy security and reduce costs in the future energy system due to its predictable nature. "An increasing emphasis on domestic energy security presents an opportunity for TSE to build capacity as a reliable and forecastable complementary renewable energy source," ORE Catapult said.Caroline Lourie, Technical Manager, at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) said: “The UK remains the most attractive global market for tidal stream energy, with over 10 GW potential. In 2021, £20 million a year was ring-fenced for the sector through the
Ship Designed to Collect Ocean Plastic and Convert It to Clean Hydrogen
of H2-Industries, said, “It is becoming increasingly clear that the shipping industry can make a positive impact on reducing global emissions. At H2-Industries, the plan is to help decarbonize industry and power generation, while cleaning up our water resources and converting pollutants into an energy source. To achieve this, we are looking for investors. Once the investment is in place, we expect each ship will be built within roughly 24 months.”According to the project partners, one constraining factor for production is the volume of plastic feedstock. One rotary kiln can handle 600 kgs of
