Global efforts to reduce carbon emissions are accelerating and most industries are searching for new ways to reduce their carbon footprint in the years and decades to come. Shipping is also under scrutiny and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set a carbon intensity reduction target, proposing strict technical requirements that are scheduled to be approved this year and take effect from 2023. One of the effects of these new requirements is likely to involve slow-speeding – a reduction of the maximum cruising speed of deep-sea vessels in a bid to reduce emissions.

In order to increase renewable energy production in offshore waters and help the Administration meet its commitment to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) have entered into an agreement in support of planning and reviewing renewable energy projects on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).

As a selected member of the Accelerator programs for Spain (Rising UP in Spain) and the UK (Cleantech Bootcamp 2021), Eco Wave Power is given a unique opportunity to establish partnerships and grow in two of the world's most attractive markets for wave energy.

The registration for Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference 2021 is now live! The event, to be held on October 26 - 27 in Amsterdam RAI, the Netherlands, will attract thousands of offshore professionals and hundreds of exhibiting companies.
