Support to SET Plan Implementation Working Group and European Technology and Innovation Platform for Ocean Energy
|
To address the growing demand for efficient, clean and renewable energy sources, Europe is exploring new innovations and advancements. The EU-funded MAXBlade project aims to significantly boost tidal energy production through the development of a solution that offers a 70 % increase in rotor swept area while providing improved reliability, monitoring, maintenance and control. The project will take a holistic approach and develop multiple technologies while promoting a circular economy to reach net zero generation. The achievement of this goal could provide the EU with a competitive advantage in tidal blade manufacturing, production, and efficiency.

- Identify priority technology development areas and update the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA). This work will review the priority topics for research and technology development, in consultation with a Technology Working Group consisting of ocean energy stakeholders, including device & project developers, supply chain actors, funders and researchers. Following this, a revised SRIA will be produced. It will outline the technological priority areas, objectives and actions to encourage the commercialisation of ocean energy in Europe. The SRIA will include a development plan identifying the projects needed to deliver the EU Offshore Renewables Strategy 2030 target.
- Map out infrastructure and industrial production requirements for 2030s deployments. This study will review infrastructure requirements, focusing on ports and harbours, required to support the roll-out of wave and tidal energy through the 2030s ad beyond.
