Government of Canada has granted four awards in an effort to help tidal energy developers deploy the first turbine arrays in the Bay of Fundy, the Government’s press release reads. In October, developers at the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE) applied to the Department of Energy to rec
Dynamic Tidal Power is based on the principle that tides don’t operate strictly horizontally but also flow in parallel to the shore as well, which allows a type of barrage to be built perpendicular to the shore. Dynamic Tidal Power (DTP) is a way to use the natural tides for generating sustainable e
DHI Group, in collaboration with several partners, has developed a GIS-based web client SI OCEAN Data Portal in order to aid in identifying areas suitable for present wave and tidal energy extraction technologies, company’s press release reads. The Strategic Initiatives for Ocean Energy (SI OCEAN) D
The Ocean Energy Systems (OES) has launched a new video that describes how the energy of the ocean can be harnessed. The Ocean Energy Systems (OES) is an intergovernmental collaboration between countries, which operates under framework established by the International Energy Agency in Paris. OES con

Two research projects concerned with pinpointing the best location for tidal energy turbines and mapping the sea floor are currently on their way in Australia. For the first project, Dr Alex Forrest deployed the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) UBC-Gavia to map the seafloor underneath the Batman
Pinpointing the best location for tidal energy turbines and providing a picture of seafloor conditions underneath fish pens are two research projects benefiting from the autonomous underwater technologies expertise at the Australian Maritime College. The projects were funded by the University of Tas
The Government of Norway and UNEP in collaboration with other partners have launched the 1 Gigaton Coalition at Lima Climate Change Conference. The 1 Gigaton Coalition is a voluntary international framework, with participation open to both developed and developing countries as well as to intergovern
A coalition recently launched at the climate talks in Lima aims to boost efforts to save billions of dollars and billions of tonnes of CO2 emissions each year by measuring and reporting reductions of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from projects and programmes that promote renewable energy and en
A new 2015 agreement on climate change, that will harness action by all nations, took a further important step forward in Lima following two weeks of negotiations by over 190 countries. Nations concluded by elaborating the elements of the new agreement, scheduled to be agreed in Paris in late 2015,
