US Invests Nearly $16 Million to Advance Marine Energy
a pilot tidal power program to provide a reliable and resilient local power supply for San Juan Islanders.• A team led by ORPC, based in Portland, Maine, aims to deploy two tidal energy devices at a location in the Cook Inlet in Alaska off the coast of the remote area of East Foreland on the Kenai Peninsula. The devices are expected to be able to produce 1-5MW of power. The team aims to demonstrate the feasibility of tidal energy projects in Cook Inlet, which is the United States’ largest tidal energy resource.During the competitive first phase, expected to last one year, these two projects
Ice Studied for Alaska LNG Terminal
Project terminal site. This turnkey metocean program includes program management, a PSO (protected species observer), vessel, HSE lead, data processing and analysis and engineering inputs. During the summer and fall of 2014 ASL deployed 3 Ice Profiler/ADCP moorings close to Nikiski, Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula. Each mooring consisted of an Ice Profiler, ADCP, CT and OBS Turbidity and was mounted in ASL’s designed bottom frame or a taut-line mooring. Eight additional ADCP moorings have been deployed through the northern Cook Inlet June through October 2014. Sediment transport and sand waves will
Alaska LNG Project Chooses Terminal Location
ExxonMobil , BP, ConocoPhillips and TransCanada have selected a site in the Nikiski area on the Kenai Peninsula as the lead site for the proposed Alaska LNG project’s natural gas liquefaction plant and terminal. The consortium states that more than 20 locations were evaluated based on conditions related to the environment, socioeconomics, cost, and other project and technical issues. “This is a step forward for the Alaska LNG project and shows continued progress toward building Alaska’s energy future,” said Steve Butt, senior project manager. “The work that we have
