Two consortia have secured just under £1 million funding from Wave Energy Scotland (WES) to demonstrate the potential of new applications of materials to bring down the cost of wave power. Consultant engineers Arup will lead a consortium which aims to show that pre-cast reinforced concrete can be in
The Green Maritime Methanol consortium achieves a new project milestone.
Malin Renewables has recently received the steel to kick off the fabrication works for AWS Ocean Energy’s Archimedes Waveswing wave power generation device. In February this year, Malin Renewables secured a £1-million contract from AWS to supply a fifty-tonne wave energy converter. Malin will build
Irish company DesignPro Renewables said it has achieved new performance milestones with its hydrokinetic turbine as part of ongoing testing at the SEENEOH test site in Bordeaux, France. The turbine generates energy from flowing water and has been deployed at a dedicated test site on the River Garonn

Prada and UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) have decided to postpone the start of activities of the Sea Beyond project to September 2020, as a precautionary measure in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to data released by UNESCO, the COVID-19 outbreak is now imp
Fife fabricators AJS Production has kicked off work on Mocean Energy’s Blue Star wave energy prototype, which is scheduled to be deployed in Orkney this autumn. The 20-metre-long device will undergo a number of sea trials before generating its first power. AJS managing director Raymond Imrie, said:
Eco Wave Power has set up a new combined wave and solar system in the EWP grid-connected wave energy power station in Gibraltar. Eco Wave Power integrated eight solar panels on the surface of its eight floaters, operational in Gibraltar. Each panel has the installed capacity of 330 watts, thus, all
Fugro has formed a strategic partnership with SEA‑KIT International to develop a new range of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) which can deploy remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for marine asset inspections. The first USVs should be launched before the end of
SIMEC Atlantis Energy has been awarded a £1.5 million grant from the Scottish Government’s Saltire Tidal Energy Challenge Fund to develop a subsea tidal turbine connection hub for the next phase of development of the MeyGen tidal power array. The Saltire Tidal Energy Fund is a £10-million fund suppo
