The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced an investment of more than $18 million for 27 R&D projects focused on advancing marine energy and offshore wind technologies with the goal of more widely deploying renewable energy sources. These projects at 17 universities, including five minority-serving institutions, will address challenges facing marine and ocean renewable energy industries and spur innovation and development.
“The oceans hold incredible potential for renewable energy to power homes, businesses, and even offshore work such as marine research,” said Jeff Marootian, principal deputy assistant secretary for DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. “These projects harness the creativity of researchers at universities across the country to spur innovation in marine and ocean renewable energy.”
