The official opening will be conducted by Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway. The prototype generates power by exploiting the energy available when fresh water and seawater are mixed. Osmotic power is a renewable and emissions-free energy source that Statkraft has been researching into for 10 years and that will be capable of [...]
In an effort to plug gaps in knowledge about key ocean processes, the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s division of ocean sciences has awarded nearly $1 million to scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif. The Scripps marine scientists will develop a new breed of ocean-probing instruments. Jules Jaffe and Peter Franks [...]
The Energy Technologies Institute is a UK based company formed from global industries and the UK Government. The ETI brings together projects and partnerships that create affordable, reliable, clean energy for heat, power and transport. The ETI has announced details of a new £8 million project designed to make wave and tidal energy more competitive. [...]
SeaKinetics has developed an innovative, tethered tidal and marine current energy converter known as the HydroWing, for the purpose of generating renewable, zero carbon emission energy. The device is patented, and has been developed in an iterative process over five years. The HydroWing is a marine current turbine power system which operates anchored, submerged at [...]
When researching this topic, I was surprised to find out that very little research has been done in this area since the early 1980′s. This is no doubt due to the low cost of oil and competing technologies and the what was considered the low efficiencies of this Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). The question [...]
