Edda Wind’s Post

The Energy Transition is a long path with opportunities and technology leaps. This technology will be beneficial not just for MedWind Renexia Spa key project, but also to unlock the tremendous wind potential in the Mediterranean. #renewables

HYCAP has strengthened its commitment to maritime decarbonisation in Liquid Wind's €44m raise. Today we announce our continued investment in Liquid Wind's €44 million Series C financing round alongside Uniper and Samsung Ventures. This represents one of the largest European funding rounds in the eFuel sector this year. The investment will accelerate the development of green eFuel production facilities, supporting Liquid Wind's strategy to develop 10 eFuel facilities by 2027, with the aim to reach 500 facilities globally by 2050. "We are pleased to strengthen our backing for Liquid Wind and its innovative eFuel facilities. Their standardised approach to scaling low-carbon fuel production is exactly what the maritime sector needs to meet its decarbonisation targets. Since our initial investment, Claes and the team have demonstrated a laser focus on delivering the underlying projects and accelerating energy transition in the maritime sector." - James Munce, CEO of HYCAP The shipping industry faces the challenge of transitioning to sustainable fuel sources by 2050. Currently, 98 per cent of the world's operational transport fleet runs on conventional fossil fuels, with the sector accounting for 3 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Together, we’re powering the future of sustainable maritime transport. For more details: https://lnkd.in/e_URKfmp #eFuels #MaritimeDecarbonisation #CleanEnergy #GreenShipping #HYCAP #LiquidWind

🏆 A great milestone for GBM Works, which specialises in innovative silent installation technique for offshore wind monopiles with their Vibrojet technique. The company announced their successful first close of a minimum €6 million seed funding round. The funding comes from a strong investor consortium comprising Rotterdamse Havendraken , Katapult Ocean, EIC Fund and existing shareholders. 🌊 The investment will enable GBM Works to accelerate the development and commercialization of its Vibrojet technology, which significantly reduces noise pollution during offshore wind monopile installation. 💪🏼 Congratulations to Govert Jaap Meijer, Benjamin Kooi and team for reaching this new phase with GBM Works!

The AVIATION INVESTMENT FUND COMPANY LIMITED (AIFCL) and Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC) have funded an aviation tool that provides oversight of potential aviation challenges for developers 🛩 👉 https://lnkd.in/encWfJn8 The aviation impact tool funded by AIFCL and OWIC, is hosted by EnergyPulse and RenewableUK. This pre-planning tool is designed to assist UK wind farm developers in identifying potential aviation impacts on proposed development areas. It incorporates data from existing wind farms and radars operated by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), NATS (En Route) Plc Limited (NERL) and airports ✈ The pre-planning Aviation Impact Tool is funded by the Aviation Investment Fund Company Limited (AIFCL) in collaboration with the Onshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC), and hosted by EnergyPulse 📊 👉 https://lnkd.in/efr5UT8y This pre-planning tool is designed to assist UK wind farm developers in identifying potential aviation impacts on proposed development areas. It incorporates data from existing wind farms and radars operated by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), NATS En Route Limited (NERL) and airports ✈ Please note, this tool is intended solely as an initial guide, and all standard procedures for identifying aviation impacts, including internal assessments and external consultations with aviation stakeholders, should still be conducted. The wind farm environment is extracted from Energy Pulse database, which is working towards mapping every individual turbine. MOD and NERL have kindly provided their radar data for use in the tool. Data from the OFCOM Protected Radar list has been used. This data is known to be incomplete but being updated and validated as a work in progress 📡 #EnergyPulse #aviation #data #windfarm #mitigation #radar

What a great piece of work as aviation continues to be one of the main issues that hold back the determination of wind projects #offshorewind #renewables #renewableuk

🌊 🌱 TotalEnergies and Equinor are teaming up with Techouse AS and SINTEF Energy Research on a groundbreaking decarbonization project aimed at retrofitting offshore installations with innovative combined cycle technology. The project’s goal is to develop a compact once-through steam generator (OTSG), which could boost power output by 30-33% while cutting emissions by up to 150,000 tons annually per installation. As Techouse CEO Svein Helge Pettersen noted, “This joint industry project will make our OTSG even lighter and smaller so that it can be installed on even more offshore installations.” 🚢💨 With a budget of over NOK 60 million and a target completion date of 2025, this project signifies a major step toward cleaner energy in offshore operations. 🔋✨ Pål Kloster, Sales and Business Development Director at Techouse, emphasized the importance of this lightweight solution: “A smaller lightweight solution will increase the likelihood of adaptation of CCPP on offshore installations.” This initiative has received NOK 12 million in funding from the Norwegian Research Council and could lead to a significant reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions. 🌍🌟 #RenewableEnergy #Decarbonization #OffshoreInnovation #TotalEnergies #Equinor #Techouse #SustainableFuture https://lnkd.in/gHXj7FGU

Swedish developer OX2 and Ingka Investments, the investment arm of Ingka Group, have secured a Natura 2000 permit from the County Administrative Board of Gotland for the Aurora offshore wind farm, located off the islands of Gotland and Öland in Sweden. “Aurora is a wind farm that can really make a real difference and act as a motor in the net zero transition in the southern parts of Sweden,” explained Emelie Zakrisson, Head of Development of Offshore Wind in Sweden, OX2. “Export cables from the farm are planned to go to the mainland but also directly to Gotland. The large-scale production from Aurora would facilitate for more local electricity production to be developed as well as hydrogen production to help decarbonize industry and heavy transports.” With the Natura 2000 permit, the County Administrative Board has agreed with other authorities that the wind farm can be realised without harming species worthy of protection, and is one of several permits required for the project development. The County Administrative Board will next have to propose to the government that the Aurora wind farm can be built according to the Act of Sweden’s exclusive economic zone. If project secures government approval, construction work can start by 2028 with a view to reaching production before 2030. Aurora will be located about 22 kilometers south of Gotland and more than 30 kilometer east of Öland in the Baltic Sea. According to OX2, the Aurora wind farm could produce up to 24 TWh if the entire area is constructed. OX2 added that the Baltic Sea is also an area of importance for the Swedish Armed Forces and with the help of sensors on the turbines the wind farm could assist with surveillance and control in the area. #cleanenergy
