A number of energy transition-related updates hit our headlines this week, from new developments in the renewables sector to further initiatives in ship decarbonisation – and oil & gas companies’ new moves in both of those, and more.
The partners in the EU-backed SafeWAVE project have started collecting environmental data around GEPS Techno’s wave and solar energy hybrid WAVEGEM at SEM-REV test site in France.
Danish wave energy company Wavepiston has completed the factory acceptance test (FAT) for its wave energy power generation and desalination units that will be deployed off Canary Islands.
Danish wave energy developer Crestwing has concluded the testing activities on its scale wave energy device model at Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI).
A key research, published by the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) at the University of St Andrews, has found that harbour porpoises exhibit localised evasion of an operational tidal turbine at the Meygen tidal energy site offshore Scotland.
The Morlais tidal stream energy project has taken a significant step forward following approval of its outline business case by the North Wales Economic Ambition Board.
SIDS DOCK has signed an agreement with Global OTEC Resources to collaborate on developing and deploying floating ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) technology in small island states.
Dutch developer of offshore floating solar technology Oceans of Energy has reached a milestone with its offshore floating solar demonstrator which survived all storms encountered in the North Sea in the past 18 months.
Finland-based technology group Wärtsilä has performed several full-scale engine tests running on ammonia and hydrogen as fuels as part of its new net-zero test program.
DNV will lead the process safety study to identify the main environmental, safety and operational risks for the world’s first offshore green hydrogen production facility, which will be put into operation next year in France. The risks DNV will be investigating include the floating barge, fuel cells
The U.S. Testing Expertise and Access to Marine Energy Research (TEAMER) program has selected 14 marine energy projects to receive testing and technical support as part of its third call for applications.
EDP and TechnipFMC, together with research partners, have launched a joint project to develop a conceptual engineering and economic feasibility study for a new offshore system for green hydrogen production from offshore wind power. The goal of the project – called BEHYOND and supported by the Blue G
The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) is preparing for a programme of acoustic surveys to determine the potential impact that marine renewable developments may have on local species and habitats. This summer, EMEC will deploy a series of acoustic surveys designed to monitor noise levels of marine
A collection of energy transition-related updates across the industry was heavily focused on hydrogen and its role in reaching net-zero goals.
