NYK, Partners to Develop Renewable Energy-Powered Floating Data Center
and emitting no greenhouse gases during operation. Through the demonstration, we will work to address various challenges to achieve this vision,” the partners said.Once realized, offshore floating green data centers will enable efficient utilization of offshore wind power, a promising renewable energy source.The project envisions situating these data centers near offshore wind farms to maximize the use of generated electricity without relying on or being limited by onshore power grids.Additionally, the approach is expected to address various challenges associated with onshore data center construction
Swedish Firm Eyes Multi-Megawatt Wave Energy Farm Off Grenada
,” said Alan Barry, Seabased Director."This MoU signing between the Government of Grenada, SIDS DOCK, and Seabased represents a transformative step in our strategic pursuit of one of the key pillars under Grenada's Vision 75 - Energy, wave energy, as an innovative and scalable renewable energy source, embodies our commitment to climate resilience, energy security, and low-carbon economic growth.“Grenada stands committed to this endeavor, fully aware that our actions today will serve as a testament to the world that small island nations are powerful agents of change in the global energy
Beam’s AI-Driven AUV to Hit Offshore Wind Market in 2025
, such as year-on-year site comparisons, equipping teams with unprecedented insights into asset integrity and structural health. This will minimise the need for reactive repairs and reduce long-term operational costs. “Our mission has always been to make offshore wind not just a viable energy source, but the most desirable one. Scout will place world-leading technology directly into the hands of wind farm operators and accelerate the industry’s growth at a critical time. Meeting national and international capacity targets will require all operators, not just those with extensive resources
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
