Green Marine UK Leading the Way in Marine Energy Sector Growth
Green Marine UK is positioned for significant growth as a key player in the UK’s rapidly expanding marine energy sector. With a strong track record in delivering complex marine operations, vessel provision, and engineering support for wave and tidal developers, Green Marine is at the forefront of the industry.
Europe’s Most Ambitious Wave Energy Project
Green Marine is currently a crucial partner in the USD$21.1 million (€19 million) WEDUSEA project, which is Europe’s most ambitious wave energy demonstration to date. This project involves deploying a 1 MW floating wave energy converter at the European Marine Energy Center (EMEC) in Orkney, solidifying Scotland’s position as a global hub for marine renewables.
The firm has a proven track record of supporting breakthrough technologies from leading companies such as CorPower Ocean, Orbital Marine Power, and Pelamis, among others.
Specialized Services and Expertise
Green Marine offers a range of specialized services including mooring design, cable jointing, diamond wire cutting, and CFE for cable burial and deburial. The company anticipates expanding its operations to support the UK’s intercountry power transmission cables, contributing to the country’s energy infrastructure.
Unlocking the UK’s Marine Energy Potential
Recent independent research projects highlight the vast economic and energy potential of marine renewables in the UK. A study by LUT University in Finland identified wave energy as a crucial component in the UK’s journey towards 100% renewable energy by 2050, with the potential to harness up to 27 GW of wave energy.
The global marine energy market is projected to reach USD$100 billion (£76 billion) by 2050, with the UK alone creating up to 22,000 jobs by 2040. Green Marine’s recent investment in a Subsea Services Department further positions the company to support the offshore wind and marine energy sectors, contributing to the industry’s growth and development.
Delivering Clean Power and Economic Benefits
With its combination of experience, technical expertise, and strategic investments, Green Marine is well-equipped to help unlock the UK’s full marine energy potential. By delivering clean power, creating high-value jobs, and supporting coastal communities, Green Marine is playing a vital role in the transition to a sustainable energy future.
