- Blue Energy (Marine renewable energy, alternative fuels, energy transition, decarbonisation, desalination, port adaptation etc.)
"Blue Innovation: Ocean Energy scaleup through the European Ocean Pact"
The EU is only just beginning to harness its vast resources of wave and tidal energy. In Ireland alone, waves could provide twice the current electricity production – 100% renewable. How can Europe lead the industrialisation of this new blue economy sector on the global stage? What role will the European Oceans Pact have in mobilising investment to scale it up? Meet the industry building the world’s largest wave energy project in Ireland and officials from the European Commission and Irish Government helping make it happen.
