Freshwater scarcity is a growing issue globally, with some regions already depending on desalination to obtain freshwater from ocean water. Currently, about one-third of freshwater discharges are used by humans, a figure projected to rise to one-half by midcentury, especially in regions such as Israel, Mexico City, India, and southern California. ...
When government leaders met at the UN 2023 Water Conference earlier this year, it was the first time countries seemed to agree there is a global water crisis that needs to be addressed. In March, the first UN water conference in a generation took place in New York, uniting communities all over the world with the belief that action needs to be taken to protect the most important natural resource ...
But first, wave energy technologies must become more cost-effective and durable to survive a salty, sometimes blustery ocean. What Puts the Wave in PacWave The United States' marine energy resources the energy available in our waves, ocean and river currents, and tides equates to about 60% of the country's annual electricity needs. ...
Biggest Challenges: Growing Demand, Tech Deployment, and Unpredictability In his comments, NREL Laboratory Director Martin Keller pointed to the uncertainties in energy planning: A country like Ukraine needs extreme energy resilience that is resistant to the volatility of warfare, while other communities need resilience to confront the variability of weather. "We don't even know if ...
The discharge of a large amount of nuclear-contaminated water, coupled with the effects of the ocean currents that already exist along the coast of Fukushima, will cause radioactive substances to spread to half of the Pacific Ocean within 57 days from discharge. ...

These locations often rely on expensive, unreliable energy systems that are vulnerable to volatile energy supplies and costs, natural disasters, and impacts from climate change. That's why the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Sea Grant College Program, in partnership with the U.S. ...
In late 2021, the company insourced all the production of the core fuel cell components and is currently in pre-series production. Later this year, Blue World Technologies will launch series production and with further scaling, the company expects to reach a production capacity of 500 MW within a couple of years. ...
Rigorous testing of the key sub-systems is currently underway as the ocean energy specialist prepares to deliver the £20million project, financially supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) via the Welsh Government. ...
The development is also reflected in the increased demand for Blue Ocean Robotics’ three types of service robots: UVD Robots, GoBe Robots and PTR Robots. ...
[OPI] is proud to announce the receipt of a $200k Phase I SBIR grant award from the US Department of Energy to develop a wave energy powered platform for ocean sensing and monitoring systems. This award will help to develop technology that enables offshore instrumentation payloads to be powered by renewable energy from the surrounding ocean waves. ...
Sustainability - Applying AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics to support sustainability initiatives for energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions: Learning in Routing Games for Sustainable Electromobility (Henrik Sandberg, KTH Royal Institute of Technology) AI-Driven Materials Discovery Framework for Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Electrochemical Separations (Xiao Su, ...
Offshore installations make it possible to utilise sea areas that are currently underused. Moreover, ocean-based solar energy can provide the power generation sector with an extra boost. ...

The new instrument is expected to contribute high-accuracy measurements of seawater absorption within NASA’s ship-based field campaigns supporting programs such as Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry. This will improve our understanding of ocean biogeochemical cycling and for provide ground truth optical property data for future airborne and satellite ...
This award will help Oscilla develop a novel underwater energy storage technology and investigate how large-scale farms of ocean wave energy devices can be best connected to the grid. This award will allow a continuation of work previously completed by Oscilla Power that emphasized the advantages of co-locating energy storage with wave energy systems. ...
All of the new starters are already involved with the firm’s live projects, as the business continues to deliver technology to support offshore handling and well intervention, as well as subsea trenching and wind turbine foundation installation. Osbit’s current orderbook includes the firm’s largest project to date, the 1,150-tonne FTAI Ocean ...
They are open structures placed at sea that rely on the action of ocean currents to circulate water and carry away waste. “ASF believes a modern industry that makes claims about sustainability and respect for the environment should embrace transformative change. Closed containment salmon aquaculture is not necessarily land-based salmon aquaculture. Several ...
