Offshore wind and marine energy innovations being researched at multiple universities
The initiatives are centered around marine energy and floating offshore wind.
Suggestions
Florida Atlantic University testing feasibility of offshore ocean energy facility
Ocean energy from waves, currents and gradients can be harnessed to generate electricity. For marine energy to be attractive at a utility-scale, it must be abundant, predictable and consistently available.
DOE dipping toes into development of wave energy with $112.5 million investment
Harnessing just a small part of this energy could greatly help meet U.S. energy demands, including grid electricity, offshore operations and rural or remote communities, which often depend on costly fossil-fuel deliveries.
$3 billion in loans available for dam improvement
America's aging water infrastructure is in need of repair, with many dams and water systems across the country nearing or exceeding their intended lifespans.
DOE investing $430 million to upgrade hydroelectric infrastructure
Hydropower accounts for 27% of the country's renewable electricity generation, with the bonus that it does not depend on real-time weather conditions to produce electricity like wind and solar.
Wave power’s tide is rising off Alaskan coast
Up to 200 megawatts (MW) of tidal energy capacity could be integrated into Railbelt Electrical Grid without major infrastructure upgrades
DOE awards $41 million for research into marine energy
Funds will support marine energy research and development and improving testing infrastructure
