Swedish-based tidal energy developer, Minesto, is expanding its team with several development engineering job openings.
A subsea technology spin-off from Norwegian firm Fuglesangs is working a new pump drive and coupling system, Hydromag, that could simplify how seabed boosting is performed. The system, being developed with support of Innovation Norway, National Oilwell Varco and Voith Turbo, could allegedly reduce t
Wind turbines that could be spinning off the coast of North Carolina in the future would affect the state’s tourism, despite the fact that people generally support wind energy as a clean source of power. According to a study by economists at North Carolina State University (NCSU), nearshore wind far
Ulf Lindelöf, CEO of Waves4Power, spoke about his company’s latest achievement, the recently deployed WaveEL wave energy device at Runde wave energy test site off Norway, as well as the issues this emerging renewable energy sector is currently facing.

Viking Link is a proposal to link Britain and Denmark’s electricity
The image shows Fred. Olsen’s wave energy device Lifesaver which was deployed at US Navy’s WETS off Hawaii between March 22-25, 2016. The Lifesaver, a ring-shaped WEC buoy, is being tested to obtain operational data on this particular ocean renewable energy conversion technology. The buoy, an advanc
North Wales Tidal Energy (NWTE) has plans for building a tidal lagoon project that would span from Landudno to Prestatyn, North Wales, UK.
Hawaii could have up to 800MW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2045, helping this US island state source all of its energy from renewable resources in the next thirty tears, the Hawaiian Electric Companies said in their updated energy plan. The utilities also said that off-island resources, su

Rambøll Oil & Gas has submitted a study which sheds light on the advantages and disadvantages of unmanned wellhead platforms. The study was commissioned by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD), which has taken a positive view of unmanned wellhead platforms, considering concepts of this type to
Scientists at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel trying to understand how the Earth’s surface was formed have used new technology to date lava flows at the North Kolbeinsey Ridge about 500 kilometers north of Iceland. They found evidence of large, deep-sea volcanic eruptions, which
Ireland’s Marine Institute has applied for a foreshore lease for the Galway Bay Marine and Renewable Energy Test site which would potentially allow the installation of floating wind turbines at the site. The Marine Institute denied seeking permission from the country’s Department of the Environment,
The European Commission (EC) is investing over €7.5 million under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund to boost innovation, growth and jobs in the marine and maritime sectors, with €2.52 million designated for wave and tidal technologies.
