The U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) this week (May 8) released a $45 million funding opportunity to advance a comprehensive approach to tidal and current energy development in the United States. ...
G7 leaders expressed concern over global renewable power deployment rates, citing the latest findings from IRENA’s World Energy Transitions Outlook Preview 2023. The report warns that there is a need for a fundamental course correction in the energy transition to keep the 1.5°C target within reach. Targets in the G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers’ Communiqué ...
To maintain the assertion that it is still a key part of the struggle to limit the climate crisis, the global nuclear industry’s propaganda war is unremitting in its attempt to avoid oblivion in the world’s democracies. At stake are thousands of well-paid power station jobs, but also a potential rise in electricity prices if funds are diverted away from cheaper options for generating ...
Orbital Marine Power Ltd, Scottish-based developers of the world's leading floating tidal turbine technology, successfully launched its 2MW tidal turbine, the Orbital O2, from the Port of Dundee on Thursday 22nd April. The operation was managed by Osprey Shipping Ltd. and saw the 680-tonne tidal turbine transferred from the Forth Ports quayside facility in Dundee into the River Tay using a ...
U.K. headquartered SIMEC Atlantis Energy, the tidal energy projects developer, has reportedly entered into a new joint venture with the Development Agency for Normandy (AD Normandy) for developing a tidal power project in Raz Blanchard, Normandy. ...
Guardian: World First for Shetlands in Tidal Power Breakthrough A power company in Shetland has claimed a breakthrough in the race to develop viable offshore tidal stations after successfully feeding electricity to local homes. Nova Innovation said it had deployed the world’s first fully operational array of tidal power turbines in the Bluemull Sound between the islands of Unst and Yell ...
Unlike wind and solar energy, tidal power is entirely predictable. If it can be tapped on a large scale as a power source, it will provide reliable base load power for any grid system. ...
ANDRITZ HYDRO, part of international technology Group ANDRITZ, has received contracts from Vietnam and South Korea to supply electromechanical equipment for hydropower stations with a total value of around 65 million euros. VNECO Hoi Xuan Investment and Electricity Construction has awarded ANDRITZ HYDRO an order for the design, delivery, installation, and commissioning of three bulb turbines and ...
The two most promising basic ideas are to use the currents and the build-up of water at each tide to drive turbines to make electricity, or to convert the power in wave motions to energy. ...
Much of Europe including the United Kingdom, France and Ireland will be plunged into darkness on Friday as a solar eclipse occurs. This rare phenomenon will pose significant challenges to Europe’s power generation network. As the moon obscures the sun’s rays from hitting the earth, this will also reduce the light available to solar panels by a significant amount. The electricity ...
Key areas of development were wave energy, and tidal and marine current projects. For both sectors, more devices reached the prototype stage and were tested out at sea. ...

Offshore wind energy capacity in Europe is projected to increase 17-fold between 2010 and 2020, while newer renewable technologies such as concentrated solar power and wave/tidal power will also increase more than 11-fold according to projections. European countries are also expected to significantly boost solar photovoltaic power, onshore wind and other renewable technologies over the next ...
Better physics teaching with a particular emphasis on radioactivity and radiation science could improve public awareness through education of the environmental benefits and relative safety of nuclear power generation, according to leading Brazilian scientist Heldio Villar. He suggests that it might then be possible to have a less emotional debate about the future of the industry that will ...
Environmental impact assessment to benefit wider marine energy industry The Carbon Trust has offered a grant of up to £390k through its Entrepreneurs Fast Track service to Cardiff-based Tidal Energy Ltd. The grant represents up to 60% of the funding needed to monitor the environmental impacts associated with the deployment of Wales’s first tidal stream renewable energy device at ...
By tying our manufacturing testing, inspection and certification expertise with their early stage offshore consulting services we will be able to support Intertek-Metoc clients throughout the whole renewable infrastructure supply chain - a service that is not currently available in the market today.” Kevin Deming, Metoc CEO, added: “Metoc had grown significantly over ...
