French green hydrogen technology developer Lhyfe has started working on the installation of an electrolyser on Geps Techno’s hybrid renewable energy platform, which will produce green hydrogen from marine renewable energy sources.

Norwegian tanker owner and operator Frontline and its Belgium-based counterpart Euronav have entered into a definitive agreement to create a global independent tanker operator.

The DIKWE project – being developed by a consortium of French companies including Legendre Group, GEPS Techno, and Ifremer – has seen the deployment of a prototype breakwater equipped with wave energy converters in Sainte Anne-du-Portzic, near Brest.

CorPower Ocean and energy academics from Edinburgh University have completed a rigorous Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a wave energy array, showing its global warming potential to be 20-40 times lower than conventional fossil fuel electricity generation.

Minesto has informed that the commissioning results of its Dragon Class tidal power plant in Faroe Islands have verified commercial performance and are fully in line with simulation results.

Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) sees the green hydrogen trade as significantly contributing to a more diversified and resilient energy system.

Scottish company Mocean Energy has begun tank testing models of its 250kW Blue Horizon wave energy machine as part of the EU-funded EuropeWave program.

Ocean Energy Europe has applauded the results of the fourth UK government’s renewables auction, stating that tidal energy can now take its rightful place in the UK’s mainstream electricity supply and calling for EU to follow suit.

SIMEC Atlantis Energy has secured UK government support to deliver the next phase of one of the world’s leading tidal power schemes – the MeyGen tidal energy project.

Scottish floating tidal energy company Orbital Marine Power has been awarded two contracts for difference (CfDs) in the latest renewable energy auction scheme in the UK.

The fourth round of the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme has seen the first-ever tidal stream auction winners – Orbital Marine Power, SIMEC Atlantis Energy, and Magallanes Renovables – who will together generate over 40MW of clean power from tides for British homes and businesses.

The biggest ever round of UK government’s flagship renewables auction scheme has secured record capacity of almost 11GW of clean energy, to be delivered across a range of clean technologies, including offshore wind, solar, onshore wind, and for the first time ever – floating wind and tidal energy.

The drop in the total recoverable oil worldwide from last year’s figures represents another threat to global energy security, explains Rystad.
