Frost & Sullivan published a report on anti-corrosion technologies for offshore structures on 24 December, 2015. The recent boom in the oil and gas sector, especially in North America is driving growth opportunities for anti-corrosion coatings in the offshore oil & gas segment while other industries
The Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and Atlantis Resources have announced the testing of Atlantis’ AR1500 1.5 MW tidal turbine at National Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth, UK.
The report titled ‘Innovations in Anti-corrosion Technologies for Offshore Structures’ focuses on the technology advances, innovations and emerging opportunities in the offshore anti-corrosion technologies across various sectors, including wave and tidal. The research is focused on the anti-corrosio
Smart Hydro Power, a German-based engineering company, has developed a turbine which exploits the kinetic energy of flowing waters to produce electricity. Because it is powered by kinetic energy and not with potential energy it is known as a so called ‘zero-head’ or ‘in-stream’ turbine, and as such,
HiDef Aerial Surveying Limited (HiDef) will carry out aerial surveys for one of National Grid’s latest projects. National Grid will provide a connection to the electricity transmission network for the proposed new 3.4GW nuclear power station, Moorside, in West Cumbria and export energy produced by a
The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has signed an agreement with Statoil on a feasibility study regarding CO2 storage on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). Reportedly, the study will include various development concepts for storing CO2 at three different locations on the NCS. The study is to be
Semi-finalist teams running for the Wave Energy Prize, set up by the US Department of Energy, are scheduled to complete the small-scale testing of their wave energy devices by the end of January, 2016. With seven qualified teams that have completed the 1:50 scaled testing of their wave energy device
Offshore wind energy could be an area of great interest for further Indo-Norwegian partnerships in business and research, as Norwegian companies can contribute to India’s offshore wind sector with their expertise and technological know-how necessary to create cost-effective projects, according to th
