Environmental Interactions of Marine Renewable Technologies (EIMR) is organizing a one-day workshop with the intent of furthering knowledge and standardizing approaches for monitoring and mitigation around marine renewable energy (MRE) devices and arrays. The workshop is organized in cooperation wit
The project led by the ORE Catapult could see the creation of a detailed map to identify the type, speed of growth and prevalence of attaching organisms with the aim of better informing the operation and maintenance of subsea equipment. The overall aim of the project is to map for how communities of
New series of advisory seminars about using financial instruments such as loans, bank guarantees, venture capital and other equity instruments in the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) is now open for registration. The free-of-charge events are organised by the European Commission and E
What does ocean biology have to do with offshore wind energy? Quite a lot, according to this video by US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which explains how scientists carefully study underwater areas to map out the best locations for potential future wind energy projects. The
Open Ocean’s current analysis system Metocean Analytics has included high resolution current data of Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy to its catalogue. For the Bay of Fundy, Open Ocean worked directly with Richard Karsten and Thomas Roc from Acadia Tidal Energy Institute who are renowned experts of the oc
Microsoft has recently deployed an underwater datacenter that could be powered by harnessing the energy of waves or tides as part of Project Natick. Datacenters are the backbone of cloud computing, and contain groups of networked computers that require a lot of power for all kinds of tasks: storing,

MMT, a Sweden-based marine survey services provider, has won a contract from DCNS for the ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) NEMO project. The project is jointly developed by DCNS and its partners with purpose to characterize the geophysical and geotechnical context of the area of an offshore po
The Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN) has implemented DHI’s MIKE 21 and MIKE 3 marine modelling software. PLOCAN is a research facility co-funded by the Economy and Competitiveness Ministry of the Spanish government and the Canary Islands government, with the aim of supporting the rese
Tidal Energy Ltd (TEL) has released a video explaining the environmental monitoring solutions incorporated in its recently deployed DeltaStream tidal energy device. In order to assess the environmental impacts, particularly regarding marine mammals and potential collisions, TEL has built a remote ac
China is the only country identified as a booming market for wind capacity growth, with the United States, India and Germany carrying the label of outperformers in a report published by Navigant Research. The report, ‘Global Wind Energy Policy Update,’ examines the strengths and weaknesses of the wi
The Rampion offshore wind farm project remains on schedule with the installation of the first turbine foundation due to start this week, despite adverse weather conditions disrupting enabling works to prepare the seabed, according to E.ON. The 400MW project, being built by E.ON, the UK Green Investm
