Fugro will expand its regional centre of expertise for offshore wind, located in Norfolk, Virginia, as the company’s Virginia operations have grown over the past decade with the increase in the number of offshore wind projects on the U.S. East Coast. The expansion, which was announced by Virginia Go
Classification society ABS and Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) have launched a batch of new, funded research projects covering topics related to safety and performance in marine and offshore industries, such as ammonia as fuel, ship electrification and carbon capture and sequestratio
The HOPE (Hydrogen Offshore Production for Europe) project, which aims to develop, build and operate the first 10 MW offshore hydrogen production unit in the North Sea, off the coast of Belgium by 2026, has received a €20 million (around $21.8 million) grant from the European Commission (EC). The HO
The University of Oxford, along with two other universities and over twenty industry stakeholders and regulatory bodies, will work together on an ambitious €8.1 million project that will address the key challenges currently preventing the tidal energy sector from reaching its full potential.
The offshore hydrogen production platform that Lhyfe is testing in France, named Sealhyfe, began producing its first kilograms of offshore hydrogen on 20 June after it was towed last month to the SEM-REV offshore test site which is connected to BW Ideol’s floating wind turbine Floatgen. Sealhyfe is
The report on the potential of tidal stream energy to support sustainable growth in the UK, published by Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change & the Environment, has concluded that this form of energy can serve as an effective complement to wider efforts on both net zero and energy security.
Energy infrastructure company Gasunie has taken the investment decision for the first part of the Dutch national hydrogen network. Gasunie said the section is being developed by its subsidiary Hynetwork Services, which was commissioned by the government last year. The investment exceeds €100 million
TotalEnergies Marine Fuels and Green Marine Bunkering have entered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on a joint development study on methanol as a new marine fuel in Singapore.
