Scottish wave energy company Mocean Energy and Aberdeen-based controls specialist Proserv have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to accelerate the shift to low-carbon solutions for underwater operations, reports offshore energy.
Aims
The duo aims to replace traditional umbilical power cables with a renewable-powered alternative that uses wave, solar, and battery technologies, providing offshore operators with a greener and more cost-effective power option.
Mocean Energy’s Blue X wave energy converter (WEC), validated through the Renewables for Subsea Power program, will play a key role. The company’s first commercial product, Blue Star, is also set for deployment, supporting efforts to decarbonize oil and gas production.
The agreement is said to pave the way for renewable-powered solutions that align with both firms’ goals of pushing the boundaries of offshore energy decarbonization.
Mocean Energy is also working on exploring how wave and solar energy can be coupled with batteries to deliver low-carbon solutions for a range of subsea technologies with a German subsea and marine technology company, SubCtech. The two companies aim to develop customizable ocean power and monitoring solutions using wave, solar, and battery technologies.
