Eco Wave Power, All-Ways Metal Sign Wave Power Tech Manufacturing Deal
a final licensing approval from the Port of Los Angeles, which was granted earlier this month, and builds on the federal permit received from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in November 2024. These regulatory milestones clear the way for full implementation of the Company's first U.S.-based wave energy system.Co-developed with Shell Marine Renewable Energy (Shell MRE), the project represents a convergence of public and private investment in renewable energy infrastructure. Once operational, the pilot installation will serve as a scalable model for future wave energy deployments along the U.S. coastline
Global OTEC: Deployment of New Onshore Power Module
just months after Global OTEC introduced the Power Module® at the 1st Brazilian Workshop on Geothermal Energy Utilization and Storage, hosted by Petrobras. In parallel, the company is advancing construction of its floating, storm-resistant prototype in Gran Canaria, Spain, showcasing both the energy system and structural innovations required to scale OTEC offshore.
Petrogas, Gasunie to Explore Reusing North Sea Pipelines for Green Hydrogen
is needed to harvest the wind energy that would otherwise be lost if only power cables were used to get this green energy to shore: in this system the wind energy generated is converted into hydrogen immediately on-site and is then brought to shore through offshore pipelines.In addition to the energy system benefits, hydrogen at sea requires less space for cables and electrolysers on land. Moreover, hydrogen transport is very (cost-)efficient and thus the total cost of energy infrastructure becomes much lower. An additional advantage is that hydrogen can also be imported from other North Sea countries
CorPower Gets Funding for Wave Energy Scale-Up
EIC Accelerator supports high-impact innovations and scaleups across Europe. In its most competitive call to date, CorPower Ocean emerged as one of 71 companies selected from a pool of 1,211 applicants, underscoring the transformative potential of its technology and its impact on a low-cost, net-zero energy system. "This significant funding from the EIC Accelerator is a validation of the groundbreaking work our team is doing in harnessing the power of ocean waves," said Patrik Möller, CEO of CorPower Ocean. "With this support, we can accelerate our work to bring our robust and efficient
Japan’s First Megawatt-Scale Tidal Energy Turbine Hits Water
Proteus Marine Renewables has deployed the AR1100 tidal turbine in Japan, which became the country's first ever megawatt-scale grid connected tidal energy system.Installed in the Naru Strait, the turbine will generate 1.1 MW of clean energy, accelerating the decarbonization of the Goto Islands' electricity supply and advancing Japan’s renewable energy transition.Building on the success of the AR500 pilot project in 2021, where a 500 kW device operated in the Naru Strait maintaining a 97% turbine availability, Proteus signed an equipment supply and works contract with Kyuden Mirai Energy
UK Approves Five Subsea Power Cable Projects
.The approved projects include the Tarchon Energy Interconnector with a capacity of 1.4 gigawatts (GW) connecting England and Germany, as well the 0.75 GW Mares Connect cable to the Republic of Ireland and LirlC, a 0.7 GW project to Northern Ireland.Based on analysis by both Ofgem and the National Energy System Operator (NESO), Britian is expected to become a net energy exporter by 2030 due to the growing amount of renewable generation, the regulator said."We've carefully assessed all the proposed projects and only approved those ones which deliver for consumers in terms of value, viability
Brazil-Made FLiDAR Tech for Offshore Wind Set for $10M Investment Boost
, air temperature, and relative humidity, including oceanographic variables like waves and sea currents.All that data is essential to determine the potential of a wind energy production area. The equipment weighs seven tons, measures four meters in diameter and four meters in height, and has an energy system powered by photovoltaic solar energy modules."It's another vital step in our energy transition journey. This project phase is necessary to validate the technology and prompt Brazil's biggest offshore wind mapping campaign, which is vital to assess the technical feasibility of future
Underwater Power Grids Could Revolutionize How the US East Coast Gets Its Electricity
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. and internationally, but it is becoming an even bigger challenge as countries speed toward net-zero carbon energy systems that will use more electricity.The U.S. Department of Energy and 10 states in the Northeast States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission are working on a potentially transformative solution: plans for an offshore electric power grid.How an offshore transmission backbone could reduce the
Oceans of Energy and DNV Collaborate to Unlock the Power of Offshore Solar in the North Sea
The independent energy expert and assurance provider DNV has partnered up with Oceans of Energy, a Dutch company specializing in offshore solar technology, services, operations, and ecological and energy systems research, to accelerate the deployment and scaling of offshore solar technologies.DNV has handed over a Statement of Conformity for the Basis of Design of their offshore solar solution to Oceans of Energy, marking a significant milestone in the development of its technology.The Statement of Conformity verifies that the design methodology complies with the comprehensive set of requirements and
