Shell Joins Wave-Powered Subsea Project
cost-effective alternative to umbilical cables, which are carbon intensive with long lead times to procure and install.The new investment has come via the Shell Technology – Marine Renewable Program, a global R&D group pursuing the mission of finding, screening, testing, and developing marine renewable energy technologies to achieve more value with lower emissions and help build the critical energy infrastructure for the Blue Economy to grow and thrive.Harnessing the 'Mocean' of the Ocean - Video Interview with Cameron McNatt, CEO of Mocean EnergyThey will now join project leads Mocean
DOE Launches $1.7 Million Marine Energy Prize
?Harsh operational conditions: How does the solution address operations in challenging conditions and unwanted growth of marine organisms?Hybridization with other renewable energy resources: How does the solution utilize marine energy to address power gaps caused by intermittency of other non-marine renewable energy resources?Suitability of power: How does the solution maximize efficiency?The first phase, CONCEPT, will center on developing teams and sound concepts, awarding up to 20 winners from a cash prize pool of up to $200,000. Concepts in early stages of development are welcome—from a system
Shell Aims to Harness the Power of the Lower Mississippi
ORPC, an marine renewable energy developer whose power systems harness the energy of free-flowing rivers and tides, has signed a contract with Shell Technology – Marine Renewable Program to initiate a Modular RivGen Power System demonstration project in the Lower Mississippi River.The collaborative project represents an opportunity to showcase how the next generation of ORPC’s hydrokinetic technology can provide predictable baseload electricity to help decarbonize onshore assets. Once deployed, the system can potentially support the electrification of Shell facilities, including providing
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.
Making Waves @ OSU: Energy Secretary, Senators, Governor tour Oregon State Wave Lab
touting wave energy as “the elixir that we need” to address climate change by ending the nation’s reliance on fossil fuels.The visit was organized by OSU and the Pacific Marine Energy Center, a consortium of universities including Oregon State that is focused on advancing marine renewable energy.“We’ve all been in the ocean,” Granholm told a group of OSU researchers and students after touring the lab’s wave basin and flume. “We’ve all felt the energy it has. That energy can be used to turn on the lights in our homes. Those waves never stop moving
CGG Joins Selkie Project to Boost Marine Energy Industry in Wales and Ireland
technological advances in the efficiency of tidal and wave devices make this an exciting area for CGG to drive innovation in this growing market. We are delighted to partner with the Selkie Network to deploy CGG’s expertise, data and technology to develop new net-zero solutions for the marine renewable energy industry.”On its website, Selkie said that CGG expertise, data, and technology will enable Selkie network partners to reduce natural resource exploration and development risk for Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) developers; Gain greater environmental insight with advanced monitoring and
Tidal Testing Tool Put Through Paces at Wales’ National Marine Test Site, META
needed, allowing them to focus on the detail.”The (C-ADCP) device is one of several open-source tools to come out of an EU Ireland-Wales funded alliance known as SELKIE. The project sees "With growing momentum behind the net zero carbon emissions, Wales is set to become a hub for marine renewable energy. The META testing site is a key asset of the wider Pembroke Dock Marine Project – a £60.5 million investment aimed at drawing skills, facilities and infrastructure into the region to grow Wales’ low carbon economy," Marine Energy Wales.©Marine Energy Wale
Sustainable Marine Ready to Deliver Tidal Energy in Early '22
natural resources to drive growth and prosperity,” said Hayman. “In the wake of COP26, and the global push towards net-zero we are reconnecting with those core roots to accelerate the energy transition in Atlantic Canada, helping reinforce the region’s position as a leader in marine renewable energy. Nova Scotia benefits from some of the world’s most powerful tidal energy streams, and with rapidly advancing floating offshore wind technology, there is enormous potential to transform the future energy mix from harmful diesel and coal power generation to ultra-low impact marine renewables
