TWAIN Project’s Post

Groundbreaking strides in green energy are on the horizon as the LionLink project steers ahead. Italy-based Next Geosolutions is initiating a comprehensive cable route survey in the UK, marking a critical phase in the LionLink multi-purpose interconnector's journey—an unprecedented venture between the UK and the Netherlands. Linking a substantial Dutch offshore wind farm directly to these nations, the project pioneers a 2 GW capacity that stands to transform energy distribution. From Walberswick to Southwold, Suffolk, the survey's dual corridors converge, painting the path for this eco-friendly leap forward. An estimated 156 days will chart this meticulous marine journey, encompassing marine, geotechnical, and ROV utility crossing surveys. With state-of-the-art vessels like Ievoli Amber and Ievoli Cobalt, Next Geosolutions reinforces commitment to thorough and innovative methodologies, crucial for sustainable success. In the wake of regulatory endorsements, LionLink illuminates the synergy of technology and sustainability, drawing us closer to a greener future. So I ask, how can we further harness such collaborative innovation to accelerate our global green transition? #LionLink #RenewableEnergy #GreenInnovation

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵! 𝗦𝗸𝘆𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 Stephan Wrage, founder and CEO of SkySails Group, believes that tackling climate change is the most urgent task of our time. For over 20 years, he and his team have dedicated themselves to this mission. Their vision? To keep our world liveable through airborne wind energy. To realise this vision, SkySails has developed a unique system that uses a flying kite to capture the so-called high-altitude wind and converts it into energy. Airborne wind bears the worldwide largest untapped energy potential to date, and as a pioneer in this technology, SkySails is the only company with a proof of product on the market. The company’s solution has the potential to replace fossil fuels and reduce material consumption by 90 percent compared to other technologies. The system offers faster and cheaper production, transport, and installation. With 24/7 power generation and over 80 patents in 13 countries, SkySails' kite systems are flexible, hurricane-proof, and operational worldwide. Already in use in Klixbüll and Mauritius, SkySails works on further airborne wind energy projects worldwide. Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) has also just been included in the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG), reducing administrative barriers and determining a fixed feed-in tariff. These new developments do not only acknowledge the potential of airborne wind for the energy transition, but accelerate research and development and enhance investment security. Stephan Wrage and his team aspire to lead the airborne wind energy market, actively combating climate change. Their goal is to make SkySails' vision a reality, creating a better, more sustainable world for all. #Hamburg #InnovatorOfTheMonth #greentechnology #windenergy #renewablerevolution #SkySails

Intelligence without ambition is like a bird with no wings. From Sea Blindness to Ocean Vision in 300 seconds With the insight of Mark Mellett, Founder and Director of Green Compass & Vice Admiral (Rtd) 🗣️: "The opportunity that will come from the maritime is extraordinary. Ireland in particular has probably the largest accessible renewable energy resource on the planet." Following video of this Series: April #RDSVision #Vision300 #RDSEnt #Marine #Ecosystem

A new project called the Dragon 12 Tidal Kite from Swedish firm Minesto offers an inventive twist to tidal energy. By gliding in underwater figure-eight motions, the Dragon 12 Tidal Kite will generate electricity using the predictable and inexhaustable power of the tides. This innovative technology offers a low-maintenance and affordable solution for sustainable energy with minimal environmental disruption, ideal for remote coastal locations.

🌊 New paper alert! Out now in Nature Communications our latest study on tidal flow complexities facing the world’s most powerful #tidal stream turbine! 🌊 Fantastic team with Shaun Fraser, Danny Coles and Alex Nimmo Smith Fusing #drone technology and boat-based surveys, we mapped the highly dynamic flow fields around Orbital Marine Power Ltd 's O2 floating turbine, deployed at EMEC: European Marine Energy Centre in the heart of Orkney, Scotland. Our research provides groundbreaking insights into the turbulent inflow and #wake dynamics, important for the future roll-out of tidal #turbine arrays and their #marine ecological interactions. Addressing the energy-environment nexus, our oceanographic lens on flow characterisation will pave the way for more efficient and sustainable development of tidal energy, contributing to a cleaner #energy future. 🌍 Link to paper: https://lnkd.in/ecstTTC4 #OceanEnergy #Renewables #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #TidalEnergy Thanks for support from Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Hub, EPSRC, The Bryden Centre, EMEC: European Marine Energy Centre, University of Plymouth, The Marine Biological Association, UHI Shetland Nature Portfolio, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Offshore Energy - Marine Energy Ocean Energy Europe Green Marine (UK) Ltd MASTS Scotland Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE) EURO-TIDES Tidal Array Project

Highlighting a transformative step forward in renewable energy, Radia, Inc., a Boulder, Colorado-based company, has emerged from stealth mode with a pioneering initiative set to reshape the wind energy sector. Endeavor Entrepreneurs Mark Lundstrom, Rachel Kelley, and the Radia team unveil WindRunner™, the world's largest aircraft engineered for the sustainable transport of massive wind turbines. This venture represents a significant leap in our approach to harnessing wind power, promising a future where the logistical challenges of turbine delivery are surmounted with innovative agility. 🌍 Realizing our CO2 reduction goals means capturing more onshore wind energy. The size of modern turbines poses significant logistical challenges... or does it? Radia's approach transcends these barriers by taking to the skies. WindRunner™ embodies not just an answer to logistical challenges but a leap over them. 🚀 WindRunner™ distinguishes itself as no ordinary aircraft; it boasts a fuselage volume of 272,000 cubic feet, a wingspan of 261 feet, and an overall length of 354 feet. Operating on 100% sustainable fuel, with a payload capacity of 80 tons, it can directly deliver to wind farms, requiring as little as 6,000 feet of packed dirt for landing. This capability opens up unprecedented opportunities for wind farm locations, making the future of sustainable energy more accessible and efficient.
