WPTO's Marine Energy e-newsletter shares news and updates on tools, analysis, and emerging technologies to advance marine energy.
Below are stories about marine energy featured by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Water Power Technologies Office.
A multilab team of researchers identifies renewable marine energy resource potential and continues to refine these assessments as resources are further developed.
A new online database maps out scientific and regulatory data for marine energy regulators and developers to accelerate and reduce the cost of permitting.
Team conducts in-water demonstrations for a novel “Water Horse” hydrokinetic device that sits above rushing rivers, taking a first step to collect data to analyze its true costs and validate its potential as a reliable, lower-cost source of clean energy.
After customer discovery and analysis stemming from the Powering the Blue Economy report, a national lab team focuses on 10 key research areas that are fundamental challenges for marine energy to integrate into high-priority blue economy applications.
The TEAMER program grew substantially in its second year to 37 requests for technical support in Fiscal Year 2021—and expanded its network from 30 to include more than 90 different capabilities.
WPTO selected three students for the next Marine and Hydrokinetic Graduate Student Research Program cohort. These students will undertake research to advance the understanding and development of marine energy renewable resources.
DOE announces $25 million in funding for eight innovative projects that will support increased research, development, and demonstration of wave energy technologies and represent the first round of open-water testing at the PacWave South test site.
WPTO and NOAA awarded additional support to the six teams competing in the BUILD Contest of the Ocean Observing Prize, which challenges innovators to integrate marine renewable energy with ocean observation platforms.
WPTO appreciates current sponsors’ support for the Waves to Water Prize and invites additional organizations to consider getting involved.
DOE and NREL today announced that the Energy Transitions Initiative Partnership Project is accepting applications from remote, island, and islanded communities for technical assistance to transform their energy systems and increase energy resilience.
