In three weeks the 14^th edition of Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference opens its virtual doors!

A recent study completed by Apollo has reinforced Bombora’s research that mWave™ technology, when applied to a floating platform, can deliver utility scale energy solutions resulting in significant operational, economic and environmental benefits.

Two offshore wind research buoys managed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) were deployed recently off the coast of California. This marks the first time the buoys have been launched to gather meteorological and oceanographic measurements off the West Coast. 

Equinor has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Microsoft to explore ways to support the Northern Lights carbon capture and storage (CCS) project as a technology partner.

3 GW of ocean energy could be deployed worldwide, with costs falling to around €90/MWh for tidal stream and €110/MWh for wave energy, according to a new publication by industry body Ocean Energy Europe. The 2030 Ocean Energy Vision, launched on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, charts an exciting path for ocean energy’s roll-out over the coming decade.



Xodus Group and BW Research Partnership will conduct a research project to assess the local and regional supply chain in support of the growing offshore wind industry in and around Massachusetts.

OPITO, the global skills organization for the energy industry, has launched a new transition standard, designed to provide flexibility for workers to pursue opportunities in both the oil and gas, and offshore wind sectors.

ABPmer recently supported a study by Offshore Wind Innovation Hub (OWIH) into potential operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for floating offshore wind. As part of their Industry Insight Series, the Hub’s new report ‘Floating wind: Cost modelling of major repair strategies’, looks at options for these repairs, estimated at 23% of annual O&M costs.

Ørsted, the world's leading offshore wind developer, and Yara, the world's leading fertilizer company, have joined forces in developing a pioneering project aiming at replacing fossil hydrogen with renewable hydrogen in the production of ammonia with the potential to abate more than 100,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to taking 50,000 conventional cars off the road.

Sea energy is the greatest renewable energy source in the world: the estimated global wave power generation along terrestrial coastlines is 2 TeraWatt, around 18 thousand billion kilowatt hours per year - that is almost the annual power requirement of the planet. Furthermore, wave energy is predictable, constant and more flexible than other renewable sources.

Three international organizations specializing in technology research, testing, advisory services, and standardization have joined forces to find new ways to accelerate the adoption of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology in emissions-heavy industries.

Total becomes a 20% shareholder in the Eolmed floating wind farm pilot project, located in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Gruissan and near Port-La-Nouvelle (Occitan region).
