VTT, partners will assess how suitable fuel oils made from biomass and waste plastics are for ship diesel engines.
The Horizon 2020 funded WaveBoost project has drawn to a close with a step change improvement achieved to the reliability and performance of wave energy technology. Led by CorPower Ocean, the WaveBoost consortium designed and developed a Power Take Off (PTO) system allowing wave energy converters (W
Pacific Ocean Energy Trust (POET) announced a new marine renewable energy webinar series. The webinars will feature experts from various fields who will share their knowledge and insights, engage in dialogue with participants, and help move the conversation along as floating offshore wind and other
Carnegie said it has achieved the first milestones of its new CETO ‘Digital Development Pathway’. Namely, the company has developed the machine-learning-based Wave Predictor capable of predicting the characteristics of waves that will reach the CETO Unit up to 30 seconds in the future. This is the f
Australian LNG player Woodside Petroleum has joined a consortium of Japanese companies to study exporting carbon-neutral hydrogen. Woodside has signed a deal with LNG importing giant JERA, Marubeni Corporation and IHI Corporation to undertake the joint study. The study will be examining the large-s
To inspire transforming saltwater into drinking water using wave energy to power the process, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) launched the Waves to Water Prize in June 2019. This four-stage competition offers intrepid competitors up to $2.5 million in cash
Subsea engineering firm JFD said it will bring to market a new patient ventilator system to support global health systems in fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. JFD has responded to the UK Government’s Rapidly Manufactured Ventilator System call to manufacturers, to support the provision of essenti
Ocean modelling researchers from the MaREI Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine at the National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG) are using wave data collected at the Galway Bay Marine and Renewable Energy Test Site and the outputs from NUIG wave models on the site to characterise the wave resour
This session from 2018 looked at the latest technology development in offshore wind and offered a platform for the ideas of the next generation of offshore wind professionals. Watch the contributions from: Erik-Jan de Ridder (Senior Project Manager MARIN), Lionel Jossé (Sales & Business development
