In a discussion with PES Wind, Arran Armstrong, Technical Manager at 2H Offshore, highlights the challenges posed by soil conditions in offshore renewable energy projects. As the independent advanced systems engineering brand within Acteon Group's marine energy and infrastructure group, 2H faces unique hurdles in unexplored locations that demand new geotechnical frameworks. These challenges make foundation installation both risky and costly. Early planning and comprehensive data acquisition are crucial to mitigating these risks. Through innovative methodologies and close cooperation with customers, 2H effectively navigates these challenging soil conditions.

Net-Zero Teesside (NZT) Power is expected to be one of the first gas-fired power stations of its kind - fully integrated with carbon capture technology. NZT Power (Picture credit: bp) Technip Energies, leader of a consortium with GE Vernova, and construction partner, Balfour Beatty, received a Letter of Intent from bp, on behalf of NZT Power Limited for the execution phase of the Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) in the United Kingdom. This landmark project is poised to become one of the world’s first commercial-scale gas-fired power stations with carbon capture, expected to capture up to 2 million tonnes of CO2 per year. The project is set to provide flexible, dispatchable low-carbon power equivalent to the average electricity requirements of around 1.3 million UK homes, further supporting the nation's transition to a cleaner energy future. The NZT Power project is also a key component of the Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) East Coast Cluster and has been shortliste

It's no great secret that there's an inherent lack of diversity within tech teams, with approximately 26% of women in tech related positions. This number gets far more bleak as we look at more senior positions, with many women citing a clear lack of career progression and opportunities for growth. Now that I've transistioned to data headhunting within the Renewable Energy Market, it's becoming clear that we need to begin to have an open dialogue around inclusion and what it means to a business. Highly recommend reaching out to myself or my colleague Sonja to start the conversation around socially sustainable hiring, and how we can all be a part of it.

We've secured a pivotal long-term land lease agreement with the Hanstholm Havn, positioning us just 200 meters from the robust waves of the North Sea and immediately south of the port. This strategic location is essential for the effective development and harnessing of ocean power. Our Wave Energy Converter (WEC), set to be positioned on the seabed 1,000 meters off the coast in 14 meters of water, embodies cutting-edge technology. It features a lightweight 4.6-meter diameter buoyant flap, optimized for maximum energy capture. This device is projected to produce a peak hydraulic power of 100 kW and deliver an average hydraulic output of 35 kW at waves higher than 2 meters. The onshore Hydro Turbine Generator will generate up to 35 kW electrical power to the grid. We've successfully obtained the necessary onshore construction permit from THISTED KOMMUNE, marking a significant milestone. Furthermore, we anticipate receiving the final nod from the Energistyrelsen in the latter half of 2024. The procurement of critical long-lead items is progressing smoothly, alongside our thorough final engineering work. We're also preparing for a critical Factory Acceptance Test at Semco Maritime facilities in Esbjerg, ensuring our technology meets the highest standards. The Hydro Turbine Generator supply is expertly managed by GUGLER Water Turbines GmbH, while JD-Contractor A/S is at the helm of our offshore installation. This project represents a significant step forward in wave energy technology and our dedication to sustainable energy solutions. We're not just building infrastructure; we're paving the way for a renewable future. We eagerly anticipate demonstrating the potential of this project and its impact on the global energy landscape. This project is sponsered by EUDP - Det Energiteknologiske Udviklings- og Demonstrationsprogram Stay tuned for more updates as we ride the waves of progress towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. #wavepower #waveenergy #renewableenergy #blueeconomy

This is interesting, potential flows of 1.4 GW between GB and Germany should help alleviate some of the transmission issues in Germany with wind being up North and having trouble being transported to demand centers. Adding 1.4 GW of additional flexibility will be expensive, because Germany has some security-of-supply fears during winter months in light of coal and lignite closures, but GB also sees its highest prices in winter. I'm a little surprised that this project has not been put on hold due to uncertain impacts of CBAM though. CBAM may limit the benefits of the cable in the direction from GB to DE, even though GB is likely to have been slightly less carbon intensive in the period 7 years to 2 years before commissioning of this cable. Germany adds another cross-border flow and an explicitly auctioned one at that. Good news for energy nerds!

Update about EUROPE'S BIGGEST FLOATING SOLAR PROJECT Ilots Blandin is the largest floating solar plant across Europe, with 74 MWp developed by Q ENERGY (France). Its construction is currently progressing well. Beside its scale, the specificity of this project located on a127-hectare site, is that it is divided into 6 lakes, belonging to a former gravel pit still partially in use, bringing construction challenges. Discover more about the installation of this floating solar project which enhances this industrial site, enabling to produce a big amount of solar energy while optimising land use and preserving available land resources. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eEWf_dxJ #floatingsolar #project #france #biggest #europe #solar #renewableenergy
