This Report of the Standing Committee on Energy deals with action taken by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy on observations/ recommendations contained in the Twentieth Report (Seventeenth Lok Sabha) of the Committee (2020-21) on the subject ‘Tidal Power Development in India’. The Twentieth Report was presented to the …
How can the ocean contribute renewable energy to the African ‘Blue Economy’, bringing opportunities to millions of Africans and reducing or replacing carbon emissions, and which strategic actions can help it reach this potential? This background paper is an overview of offshore renewable energy sources across coastal Africa, including a …
A Parliamentary panel has asked the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to set up a pilot tidal power project in the country, preferably at a cost effective location like Gulf of Kutch. There are three main types of ocean energy - wave, tidal and ocean-thermal. The estimated potential …
Oceans contain vast renewable energy potential – theoretically equivalent to more than double the world's current electricity demand. Nascent ocean energy technologies could cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power generation and help to ensure a sustainable, climate-safe energy future. Alongside other offshore renewable energy technologies, ocean energy – including …
The Indonesian government has approved a plan to build what has been billed as the world’s largest tidal power facility in the ecologically rich Indonesian island of Flores. The new plant, known as the Palmerah Tidal Bridge, will be built into a floating 800 metre-long bridge on the Larantuka Strait …
The UK is poised to exploit tidal energy, a new renewable source that is cheaper than nuclear and more reliable than wind. renewAmbitious plans have been drawn up for a network of “tidal lagoons” around the UK coast that could provide up to a quarter of the country’s electricity – …
A well-connected Indonesian marine renewable energy company and OpenHydro, a unit of French state-owned naval defence company DCNS, aim to be the first to plug into the vast untapped tidal energy potential of the world's biggest archipelago. Renewables have so far played little part in Indonesia's power sector, despite the …
PANAJI: Goa is expected to be the next laboratory of the central government to generate power from tidal waves of the sea using Israeli technology. "Since last two years, I have been constantly pursuing whether we can generate power using tidal waves in the sea. Today, I came to know …
A power company in Shetland has claimed a breakthrough in the race to develop viable offshore tidal stations after successfully feeding electricity to local homes. Nova Innovation said it had deployed the world’s first fully operational array of tidal power turbines in the Bluemull Sound between the islands of Unst …
The European Commission has cleared French state support for an experimental tidal power plant off the northwestern coast of the country, saying the aid given was in line with European rules. France will support the construction of four turbines, which will each produce 1.4 megawatts of electricity, through a direct …
The future of a revolutionary plan to generate electricity from a lagoon in Swansea Bay has been thrown into further doubt after the UK government unveiled plans for a six-month review of the wider tidal power sector. The promoters of the £1bn plan, Tidal Lagoon Power, said it welcomed any …
Critics have dubbed it Britain’s ‘pottiest’ renewable energy plan, but supporters of the controversial tidal lagoon project say it can revitalise the area Tyrone O’Sullivan is not an obvious evangelist for the vast Swansea Bay tidal lagoon project, lauded by its developers as world leading but dismissed by one critic …
China's sustainable energy competitiveness was ranked first among 21 major countries, overtaking the United States and European countries, said a report published Sunday. The report, issued by Zhejiang University Environment and Energy Policy Center and published at the Eco Forum Global in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, southwest China, evaluated 19 of …
Realisation of ambitious £1bn construction project, subject of vocal and high-profile opposition, will depend on subsidies from government The energy and climate change secretary has given planning permission to one of the most ambitious and potentially expensive “green” energy schemes ever seen in Britain. Amber Rudd agreed the £1bn project …
An ambitious project to build the world’s first tidal lagoon for generating clean electricity off the coast of Swansea has triggered an environmental row on the south coast of Cornwall. And a second row is brewing, with a Chinese construction group in poll position to win a huge contract to …
Tidal Lagoon Power has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment scoping report for the Cardiff Tidal Lagoon, which would have a capacity of 1.8GW to 2.8GW. The project will be the UK’s first full-scale tidal lagoon power plant, representing a major step towards the delivery of full-scale tidal lagoon infrastructure in …
A variety of hydrokinetic turbines are currently under development for power generation in rivers, tidal straits and ocean currents. Because some of these turbines are large, with rapidly moving rotor blades, the risk of collision with aquatic animals has been brought to attention. The behavior and fate of animals that …
Plans to generate electricity from the world's first series of tidal lagoons have been unveiled in the UK. The six lagoons - four in Wales and one each in Somerset and Cumbria - will capture incoming and outgoing tides behind giant sea walls, and use the weight of the water …
Construction of the world’s largest tidal energy array is ready to begin offshore Scotland. Atlantis Resources Ltd. (LON:ARL), the project’s developer, said it raised the £51 million ($85 million) it needs to launch the first phase this year. The 398-megawatt MeyGen project will put Scotland and the U.K. “on the …
The evolution of technologies that harness the waves and tides for generating electricity is taking longer than hoped and costing more money than expected, a report showed. Global installations of wave power plants may reach 21 megawatts by the end of the decade, 72 percent less than originally forecast, according …
