Exhibiting:
Several Interreg projects led by EMEC will be exhibiting at the event to showcase project achievements and find opportunities to network and find synergies with other similar projects.
FORESEA (Funding Ocean Renewable Energy through Strategic European Action):
FORESEA is an €11m Interreg North West Europe project. Its helps bring offshore renewable energy technologies to the market by providing free access to North-West Europe’s world-leading network of test centres.
Since its launch, FORESEA has increased real-sea testing activity in the ocean energy sector. 19 technologies have successfully deployed at European test centres with FORESEA support, with more to come in the next 12 months.
Ocean DEMO (Demonstration Programme for Ocean Energy Pilot Farms and Supporting Technologies):
Ocean DEMO provides funding to developers of marine renewable technologies to test their products or services in real sea environments. This allows developers to move closer to market by demonstrating their technologies at full commercial scale. The first Ocean DEMO deployment is already ongoing and a there’s a lot more to come next year.
During this event, we will present the project’s plans and future impact on the ocean energy sector and North West Europe regions.
ITEG (Integrating Tidal energy into the European Grid):
ITEG is an €11 million Interreg North-West Europe (NWE) project launched in Orkney in 2018 to develop an all-in-one solution for the generation of clean predictable energy, grid management, and the production of hydrogen from excess capacity.
