The Faroe Islands, an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic, are making significant strides in the field of renewable energy by pioneering a groundbreaking approach to harnessing tidal power. At ...
People have been harnessing tidal energy for milling grain for more than 1,000 years. As you’d imagine though, today’s contraptions for tapping this 24/7 power source are a little more sophisticated.
Submerged in about 44 yards of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides for electricity — a durability mark that demonstrates ...
Minesto collaborates with microgrid technology provider Capture Energy, Faroese utility company Sev and IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute to demonstrate a unique tidal-based microgrid ...
A giant tidal energy “kite” located in the waters off Vestmannsund, Faroe Islands, has delivered its first power to the grid, in a significant step forward for the budding ocean energy industry.
Swedish start-up Minesto has been for years trying to float the idea of having underwater turbines that generate power for use on-shore. These would be anchored to the seafloor by a long tether and ...
In this October 2018 photo provided by MeyGen, tidal turbines are visible at the MeyGen tidal site located in the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth, a narrow channel of water between the Scottish ...
