At BlueGreen, we’ve been particularly interested in hybrid or compound approaches that combine #aquaculture and #offshore wind. We can also imagine the virtues of systems that might blend wind, wave, tidal and floating #solar in new configurations to generate energy through a #multiplex model. https://lnkd.in/eMkyRAHU https://lnkd.in/eMkyRAHU

Even more reason why we’re building #bluetech in the (Sea) Garden State.
Gov. Phil Murphy campaigned on the idea of recreating and reinvigorating an “innovation” economy in the state — an initiative he has pushed throughout his six years in office. The effort appears to be paying off. This week, PitchBook ranked New Jersey third in the country for venture capital investment in the first half of 2024 — another milestone climb in VC investment that had dropped dramatically before he took office. In the first six months of the year, New Jersey had $9.8 billion in VC investment (on 103 deals), a bit behind No. 2 New York ($12.6 billion) but well ahead of No. 4 Massachusetts ($6.9 billion). All three trailed No. 1 California ($40.4 billion), but that is expected. The four states were the only states in the country to top even $3 billion in investment for the first half of 2024.

Important event in September. Mark your calendars.
Join Ocean Visions and co-hosts Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at #ClimateWeekNYC as we explore the potential for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) to help mitigate, and ultimately reverse, dangerous climate change and meet Paris Agreement targets. Together with leaders in the field, we’ll explore recent advancements and key challenges that remain in proving or disproving the potential of mCDR pathways as a climate solution. A one-hour panel will be followed by 30 minutes of Q&A and select presentations by mCDR start-up companies. Panelists include: Moderator: Brad Ack, CEO, Ocean Visions · Jane Lubchenco (invited) | Deputy Director, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy · Arun Vignesh, Assistant Director for Global Partnerships, Office of the Prime Minister, Singapore · Kristin Ellis (invited) Partner, Lowercarbon Capital · Romany Webb, Deputy Director, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law Learn More & Register: https://lnkd.in/eTvJDy6f #carbonremoval #climatesolutions #oceanhealth DIVE DEEPER: Explore Ocean Visions’ Comprehensive Program to Prove or Disprove Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies by 2030: https://lnkd.in/grNy_h4f

#Tidal ocean power is the hydroelectric renewable energy source that needs to figure bigger in the mix of #bluetech frontiers. The ocean is a vast engine that converts solar energy into wind, wave and current. How do we tap the reservoir of rivers flowing in the ocean economically? Orbital Marine Power Ltd is one of many ventures trying to crack the code. Who else should we be tracking? https://lnkd.in/eAmDTUmV
The world's most powerful tidal turbine - but can our grid handle it?

With our focus on building businesses for the #blue economy in NJ, we’re excited to be part of how New Jersey will lead the charge in adapting to climate change. Mitigating the impact of extreme weather that is fast becoming the new normal will be the challenge of our lifetime.
Rutgers university researchers will receive $16 million to lead different projects with the goal of fortifying New Jersey's coast against climate change and extreme weather events. The funding will also help Rutgers develop the next generation of climate resilience experts by providing hands-on experience for its graduate and undergraduate students across these projects.

A backbone or trunk line for power distribution of offshore #wind energy is easy to understand, at first glance. But what are the constraints? If power comes to shore at only two spots, say Virginia and Maine (in the Northeast) is there a downside to the states between in not having local wind energy feed in closer to home? https://lnkd.in/ex5xBFpW

Great to see CoFlowJetLift featured in this story after meeting Prof. Zha at the NYC #Oceantech Summit earlier this summer. Another powerful example how wind power can drive transformation in the #shipping sector. https://lnkd.in/e_JWRACm

The discovery of dark oxygen emanating from the deep seabed is big news, with important implications for the troubling prospect of deep sea mining for polymetallic modules. Just Have a Think is a reliable source analyzing this emerging issue.
Polymetallic Nodules. Never heard of them? Well there are trillions of them on the deepest sea beds of our oceans. Mining companies want to scoop them all up for the valuable elements they contain, like manganese, cobalt and nickel. But new research has demonstrated that those metallic constituents are causing a reaction that creates oxygen in the total absence of sunlight or photosynthesis. So...is it really a good idea to remove them? https://lnkd.in/ezun-PYU

The Gulf of Maine is warming more than almost any other part of the ocean. And #NewJersey is warming the fastest among states in the Northeast, which is one of the fastest-warming regions in America. Worth watching.
See our Scientists in SEA CHANGE: Tonight is the premiere of the first installment of SEA CHANGE: The Gulf of Maine, A NOVA Special Presentation on WGBH. Our scientists worked with the filmmakers to inform this deep dive into this rapidly changing ecosystem that is important to the planet and supports countless coastal communities. The first episode in this three-part series focuses on the bounty of the Gulf of Maine. This bounty, of course, starts at the base of the food web. That’s where you’ll see our researchers, including David Fields, Maura Niemisto, and Dave Drapeau aboard the R/V Bowditch introducing the filmmakers to a charismatic copepod that is an important foundational species in the gulf. The episode premieres tonight, (July 24) at 10pm and can be streamed by PBS subscribers thereafter. And keep an eye out for future episode which will feature even more of our scientists. Watch the trailer and stream the episode here: https://ow.ly/XjKR50SJlzB And for those interested in hearing from the filmmakers and contributors in person, Maine Public is hosting a screening in Portland this Friday, July 26 at 7:00 pm. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, including Senior Research Scientist Doug Rasher: https://ow.ly/mlBr50SJlzC Photo Courtesy of WGBH Educational Foundation.

A strong signal that #coastal resilience is good business in every sense for NJ. #Adaptation to the impacts of climate change is work that is both necessary and inevitable.
Happy to be participating in this groundbreaking work that will help make NJ more resilient. https://lnkd.in/eZz-jK7X
