The move from fossil fuels to renewable energy has many countries around the world pivoting to make the energy transition. With that pivot and the flow of investment in clean energy research and development, technology developers are looking at untapped hydrokinetic resources such as wave, current, tidal and riverine energy that hold the greatest potential to generate green energy.

The construction and operation of offshore wind farms carries regulatory requirements for acoustic monitoring of both noise emissions from the activity and marine mammals’ vocalizations. The latter reveal the presence of animals that could be at risk from noise exposure or collision with service ships.

Power where it is needed—this is the key challenge for decarbonization of the blue economy. It is at the heart of EC-OG’s purpose; to deliver world class, innovative energy technologies and systems that change the offshore energy landscape towards a sustainable future.

Despite the global pandemic, wave and tidal energy projects have moved forward at pace, reaching significant funding, testing and deployment milestones over the last year.

One such example is Acteon’s patented Rocksteady connection system, an auto-latching subsea structural connector that enables wave energy operators to streamline installation processes and minimize costs.

At Ørsted, innovation has been a core part of our DNA and has helped us in transforming our business. In 1991, we were the first company to install turbines in the ocean, creating the world’s first offshore wind farm off the coast of Denmark.
