Six Offshore Renewable Tech Developers Get EU Support
recommendations for support to six offshore renewable energy developers under its fourth call. The awards support developers on their path to commercialization and ease the transition of ocean energy towards multi-device farms by providing free access to open sea test sites. Funded by Interreg North-West Europe, Ocean DEMO is a €13 million project aiming to accelerate ocean energy’s transition from single prototype to multi-device farms by providing free access to world-leading test centers: EMEC (UK), DMEC (NL), SEM REV (FR) and SmartBay (IE).Successful applicants receive free access
Sea Trials Complete: Mocean Energy's Blue X Wave Energy Machine Returns to Shore
machine to a subsea battery which will be used to power a remotely operated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) – with potential applications for oil and gas offshore operators.The deployment and demonstration of the Blue X at EMEC has been funded by Wave Energy Scotland and supported by Interreg North-West Europe’s Ocean DEMO project.Tim Hurst, Managing Director of Wave Energy Scotland said: "It is only through testing technologies at sea that we can demonstrate the real potential for wave energy to make a significant contribution to the world’s ever-growing green energy demands
'World's Most Powerful Tidal Turbine' Brought Online in Scotland
supported by the Scottish Government by the Saltire Tidal Energy Challenge Fund. The O2 project has been supported through funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the FloTEC project and the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg North West Europe Programme under the ITEG project.Orbital is now looking to commercialize its technology through the deployment of multi-MW arrays. "Supporting this endeavor in UK waters would bring substantial benefits beyond complimenting the clean energy transition, as evidenced in the build of
Mocean Energy’s Wave Energy System Produces First Power at EMEC Test Site
, the plan is to connect the device to a subsea battery which will be used to power a remotely operated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) – with potential applications offshore. The deployment and demonstration of the Blue X at EMEC is being funded by Wave Energy Scotland and supported by Interreg North-West Europe’s Ocean DEMO project. The Blue X manufacture and testing program is being supported by £3.3 million from Wave Energy Scotland (WES) through their Novel Wave Energy Converter program. Earlier this year Mocean Energy announced a £1.6 million project with OGTC, oil
