A $1.3 Million Bet On Marine Energy Is More Than It May Seem
Marine energy is the sleeping giant of clean power, and a relatively modest grant program could be the spark that wakes it up.

A TEAMER Approach to Fighting Climate Change
How Do We Build a Successful Marine Energy Industry? Build a TEAMER Article courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). By Caitlin McDermott-Murphy “It was getting hotter.” That is how the science fiction book The Ministry for the Future starts. The main character, Frank May, looks … [continued]
Department of Energy Puts $35 Million into Hydrokinetic Technology
Underwater renewable energy systems are ready for their place in the sun, thanks to $35 million in grants for hydrokinetic energy R&D from the US Department of Energy.
Green Hydrogen Scheme Sprouts In Scotland, With Flow Battery
Offshore wind leader Scotland aims for pole position in green hydrogen, tidal power, and flow batteries, too.
3 Tidal Turbines Pop Into New York City’s East River
Marine energy company Verdant Power has plopped three tidal power turbines into New York City’s East River on one array. This is called the Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) Project, and it is indeed the first US-licensed tidal power project.
US Plows Another $10.5 Million Into Futuristic Water Mills
Keystone, schmeystone, Part Deux: marine energy is yet another vast untapped clean power resource in the USA and the Obama Administration is tapping it.
US Taps Into 1400 Terawatt Hours Of Clean Ocean Power
As the US offshore wind power industry slowly (very slowly) cranks up to speed, let’s not forget that US coastal waters also represent a huge, as-yet-untapped energy resource in the form of waves, tides and currents. The Department of Energy estimates the total could come up to 1400 terawatt hours … [continued]
1st Commercial Hydrokinetic Projects Approved in US
New hydrokinetic energy technologies that generate electricity by harnessing the energy from ocean waves, tides, and river currents are advancing toward commercial development in the United States. They are not expected to add major power supplies anytime soon, but federal regulators this year approved licenses for two hydrokinetic energy projects to produce electricity from wave power buoys anchored off the Oregon coast and from underwater turbines driven by the current in New York City’s East River.
