Propane’s Economic Edge for Ports During Trade Uncertainty
the potential to disrupt operations is electrical grid instability. And increased power demand, aging infrastructure, and severe weather are making power outages more common by the day. The risk of electric grid failures is particularly concerning for ports located in large population centers where electricity demand is high and in regions with higher risk of natural disasters. According to a recent report from the Department of Energy, blackouts in the U.S. could increase by 100 times by 2030 if nationwide electrical infrastructure isn’t expanded and upgraded. For ports, grid outages can disrupt
Ecowende, Van Oord Start Eco-Friendly Offshore Works at Hollandse Kust West
450 kg, setting the new benchmark for large-scale, biodiversity-focused scour protection in offshore wind.Ecowende’s Hollandse Kust West is located about 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast, near IJmuiden.The wind farm will have an operational capacity of 760 MW, making 3% of the current Dutch electricity demand greener.Ecowende plans to have the wind farm fully operational and commissioned by late 2026

Unlocking Ocean Power: $3.6M for Community-centric Wave Energy Converters
competitive with solar and wind power.Waves are a vast source of untapped renewable energy. They could completely cover Alaska and Hawaii’s electricity needs and generate enough power along mainland U.S. coasts to keep the lights on in 130 million homes, or meet 35% of the country’s electricity demand, without any direct greenhouse gas emissions, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.Despite its promise, wave energy still can’t compete with wind and solar energy in today’s market because engineers haven’t settled on the best way to harvest it or assess the
Underwater Power Grids Could Revolutionize How the US East Coast Gets Its Electricity
Offshore winds have the potential to supply coastlines with massive, consistent flows of clean electricity. One study estimates wind farms just offshore could meet 11 times the projected global electricity demand in 2040.In the U.S., the East Coast is an ideal location to capture this power, but there’s a problem: getting electricity from ocean wind farms to the cities and towns that need it.While everyone wants reliable electricity in their homes and businesses, few support the construction of the transmission lines necessary to get it there. This has always been a problem, both in the U.S.
Fugro Tapped for Geophysical Survey at Lithuania's First Offshore Wind Farm Site
our clients,” said Alvydas Uždanavičius, Fugro’s Lithuania Country Manager.Scheduled to begin operations by 2030, the 700 megawatt (MW) offshore wind farm will generate up to 3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually, which would meet up to a quarter of Lithuania's current electricity demand

and delivered it to the Dutch mainland. In coming months, production capacity will be constantly increased. Once finished, the wind farm will have a total installed capacity of 759 MW, generating at least 3.3 TWh per year. This is enough renewable electricity to meet 2.8% of the Netherlands’ electricity demand.Rosetti Marino to Build Green Hydrogen Platform for Dutch Offshore Wind Far

is short of the demand. The second is that some companies and governments are consenting to deep-ocean dredging technology, as opposed to less invasive techniques. Thirdly, traditional mineral processing is environmentally damaging in its use of hazardous reagents (like arsenic and cyanide), high electricity demand as well as creation of tailing dams, which are toxic waste ponds.IM’s robotic collection system is like others that hover above the seafloor, minimizing interference with sediment and ecosystems. However, the company plans to use AUVs with artificial intelligence (AI), remote sensing
Nova Innovation to Develop 15MW Tidal Array at Yell Sound, Shetland
plans to develop its largest tidal energy array to date at Yell Sound in Shetland. The company has been awarded an Option Agreement from Crown Estate Scotland to develop a 15MW tidal array at Yell Sound, between the islands of Yell and Bigga, that is predicted to meet over a third of household electricity demand in Shetland."This new tidal energy site will build on the success of the world’s first offshore tidal array that Nova created in neighboring Bluemull Sound. Since 2016, the Shetland Tidal Array in Bluemull Sound has been transforming the raw power of the North Atlantic into clean
