Eco Wave Power, AltaSea Agree Wave Energy Pilot’s September Launch
Permit for US Wave Energy Demo"AltaSea was founded to accelerate ocean-based solutions to climate change, and Eco Wave Power is a perfect example of that vision becoming reality. This project is not just a first for the U.S. - it's a model for how ports around the world can transform into clean energy hubs. We are proud to be the home of this historic installation,” said Terry Tamminen, CEO of AltaSea
UK to Invest 200m Pounds in North Sea Carbon Capture Project
said it would also back the Viking CCS project in the Humber region, in the north of England, without specifying how much it would receive."This (funding) will support industrial renewal in Scotland and the Humber with thousands of highly-skilled jobs at good wages to build Britain’s clean energy future," Britain’s energy minister, Ed Miliband, said in a release from Britain's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.Once operational, the two projects could capture up to 18 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, the government said.The funding is part of 9.4 billion
JDR Wraps Up Type Test Qualification of Next-Gen Offshore Wind Cables
higher voltage cables.By doubling the voltage of the industry-standard 66kV array cable, JDR’s technology will allow increased transmission between turbines at higher-capacity – a vital factor in continuing to reduce the cost of offshore wind and assist in reducing the impact of clean energy prices for consumers.The successful type test qualification of the fixed foundation 132kV static cable technology is further supported by the successful completion of JDR’s second high-voltage cable development, under the Department of Energy Security and Net-Zero’s Floating Offshore
UK Firm Seeks Suppliers to Build Full-Scale Tidal Energy Prototype
tidal currents, the company claims."This tender represents a major milestone in bringing our innovative tidal energy technology to market. We're seeking experienced partners who can help us deliver this cutting-edge renewable energy solution that will contribute significantly to the UK's clean energy targets,” said David Scott, Founding Director at TTL.The project will be deployed at the Morlais Demonstration Zone (MDZ) in North Wales, with construction and assembly taking place in Pembroke or Liverpool.TTL welcomes expressions of interest from experienced companies with capabilities
SKF to Deliver PTO System for Australian Wave Energy Developer
SKF has entered into partnership with wave energy technology developer Carnegie Clean Energy to deliver power take-off (PTO) system for its CETO wave energy device.CETO is a fully submerged, point absorber type wave energy technology where a submerged buoy sits a few meters below the surface of the ocean and moves with the ocean’s waves. This motion drives a PTO system that converts it into electricity.As a first step towards a long-term technical partnership on the commercialization of Carnegie’s CETO wave energy technology, SKF and Carnegie are collaborating on the design and delivery of
Venterra Completes Celtic Sea Metocean Study for Ireland's South Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan
of comprehensive spatial maps for metocean conditions.The modelling results provide critical insights to facilitate informed decision-making for offshore wind development in the SC-DMAP area. The SC-DMAP is a key component of Ireland's ORE strategy, representing a step in the country's clean energy transition. This government-led maritime spatial planning initiative offers certainty to developers. The SC-DMAP identifies four Maritime Areas in the Irish part of the Celtic Sea within which proposed future ORE projects will be located, which in this instance relates to fixed offshore wind technology
Odyssey Marine Exploration Welcomes New Executive Order for Deep Sea Mining
with other prior funding arrangements, will continue to fund the company’s operations during 2025.The Executive Order prioritizes the rapid development of U.S. capabilities for the exploration, collection, and processing of seabed-derived critical minerals—essential to securing defense, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing inputs. With decades of proven leadership in ocean exploration and project development, Odyssey aligns with these national priorities through its active projects targeting battery metals (polymetallic nodules) and fertilizer-grade phosphates.Odyssey’s capabilities
COAST, University of Victoria Join to Launch the BC Marine Energy and Decarbonization Hub
In a stride for the Canadian clean energy transition, two leaders in British Columbia’s ocean innovation sector have announced a joint initiative that forges brand new pathways for the development and commercialization of marine renewable energy and decarbonization technologies in British Columbia.The BC Marine Energy and Decarbonization Hub is a core initiative of COAST, Pacific Canada’s hub for the sustainable blue economy, delivered in partnership with the University of Victoria. The Hub is the culmination of three decades of community-centered clean energy research and innovation
China Concerned About US Deep-Sea Metals Stockpile Plan
accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and within the framework of the International Seabed Authority," the ministry said in a statement.China produces around 90% of the world's refined rare earths, a group of 17 elements used across the defense, electric vehicle, clean energy and electronics industries. The U.S. imports much of its rare earths, which come largely from China.(Reuters - Reporting by Ethan Wang and Ryan WooEditing by Bernadette Baum
