Huge congrats to our MassCEC grantees, Triton Systems, Inc. and Deep Anchor Solutions on their U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant! The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is funding projects that will accelerate the responsible development of offshore renewable energy. This includes crucial research to enhance the integrity of mooring systems for floating offshore wind platforms and marine energy converters, as well as reducing noise during the installation of fixed-bottom offshore wind foundations. These projects align with the Biden-Harris Administration’s goals for a carbon-free electricity sector by 2035 and a net-zero-emissions economy by 2050, all while protecting biodiversity and promoting ocean co-use.

🚀 Exciting Development in Renewable Energy! The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has just issued a research lease for a 144MW floating wind array to the State of Maine. 🌊 This monumental step forward in renewable energy will see the installation of 12 floating offshore wind turbines, poised to generate a substantial amount of green power. This research array will serve as a collaborative platform for stakeholders including fishermen, wildlife experts, and the offshore wind industry. By enabling in-depth studies and evaluations, we'll gain valuable insights into how floating offshore wind can integrate with existing ocean uses and its broader impacts on the environment, supply chains, and local job creation. Its great to see advancements like these in the renewable energy sector. 🌍🔋⚡ #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #SustainableFuture

"Accelerate International Cooperation on Floating Wind to Prevent Development of Silos" ...... This came across my feed and it struck me as the definition of unintentional irony. "Floating Wind" is one of the Silos ..... some would say the one of the two main offshore renewable energy silos, with fixed wind being the other. Their "silo-brothers and sisters" being wave energy, tidal and ocean current energy, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), floating solar, and if your being generous, offshore geothermal. For nearly a decade now Excipio Energy has fought this mentality, but not met with great success. For the 40 years prior to 2010 these industries did not exist outside of R&D and fought over investment. This developed an us vs them mindset that is now mirrored by both Government agencies, NGO's, large energy companies, most conferences, and even publications! (the article is from "offshorewind.biz") Oddly one of the few places you can find all of them at one conference is at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) - (NOTE: ABSTRACTS FOR 2025 OTC PAPERS ARE DUE BY Sep 10th https://lnkd.in/gBzNwdyN) Any floating system should carry as many of the Silo-family as physically possible, and suitable for the location. Building floating steel islands is NOT cheap, and to not leverage the CAPEX expenditure is both a waste of money and carbon footprint. Once you make that leap it opens up the possibilities for a whole lot of Blue-Economy cousins to get a free ride, aquaculture, mineral extraction, power to fuel, desalination, carbon capture all become much more profitable. #offshorewind #offshorewindenergy #offshorerenewables #marineenergy #marineindustry #oceanconservation #oceaneering #marineengineering #offshoreengineering #innovation #greenenergy #blueeconomy #powergeneration #greenfuels #aquaculture #marinetechnology #subsea #subseaengineering #floatingwind #floatingoffshorewind #waveenergy #wavepower #tidalenergy #oceancleanup #energynews #energy #greenenergysolutions #greenhydrogen

Raising standards for Walk-to-Work. Motion compensated Walk-to-Work (W2W) gangways have been used by the offshore oil and gas industry for some time, but the recent pace of innovation by manufacturers and suppliers for the booming offshore wind market has resulted in a rise in incidents. IMCA has held a series of workshops over the last few months – at regional meetings around the globe and our DP Conference in Amsterdam – and in April this year, it co-hosted an industry workshop with G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation in London, looking at the safety-critical aspects of the design and operation of W2W systems. IMCA’s Marine Renewable Energy Committee has already started the formal review on the existing Guidance (IMCA M254).

Exciting news for the renewable energy sector! The #GreenVolt floating offshore wind farm, developed by Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn, has been granted full onshore planning approval. This project will use up to 35 floating wind turbines to deliver up to 560 MW of renewable energy while replacing power currently generated by gas and diesel turbines. It's an exciting development that has significant implications for the future of energy production in the UK and beyond. Projects like the #GreenVolt wind farm demonstrate the potential of renewable energy to not only reduce our carbon footprint but also provide reliable, cost-effective energy to meet the needs of communities and industries. This project is a great example of how the UK and Europe can lead the way in the rapidly growing global market for floating offshore wind.

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--As renewable natural gas (RNG) continues to gain momentum as a low-carbon alternative to natural gas, projects aimed at producing it are underway. Industrial Info is tracking $819 million worth of RNG projects under construction in the U.S., with more than 80% of the spend attributed to grassroot projects. Industrial Info is tracking much of the project activity with a completion date by the end of the year, although factors could alter or delay the planned timelines. #construction #projects
