Canadian government has awarded funding to several projects that could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore oil & gas operations, including a project using floating wind turbines to power oil & gas assets.
The project, being developed by floating wind technology developer Saitec and offshore oil & gas engineering company Waterford Energy Services, is aiming to bring forward a ‘plug-and-play’ renewable power option for Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) and other offshore or nearshore installations.
The funding will be used for the first phase of the project. The second phase will focus on developing a full field demonstration, whereby power will be generated by a floating wind turbine and transmitted to an offshore or nearshore installation.

The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is launching Phase 1 of Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle Testbed – Opportunity to Integrate.
This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition seeks proposals for novel and innovative sensors and payloads to be trialled on an extra-large, uncrewed, underwater vehicle (XLUUV). The XLUUV is a platform the Royal Navy uses to understand potential capabilities of autonomous vehicles. This competition is looking for technologies ready for on-platform testing and validation which can help the Royal Navy innovate for the next generation of underwater capabilities.
The XLUUV will test sensors and payloads in a range of scenarios. The testing is not intended at this point to lead to a procurement of sensors or payloads. Rather, the key objective of this competition is to gain insights from these tests, including the potential and limitations of UUV, to help the Royal Navy shape future requirements and design future capabilities and co
In line with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals: digital 5th ECP with over 1,200 partnerings
In more than 1,200 online partnering conversations as well as numerous flash sessions, the traditional spirit of the largest speed dating event of the European chemical industry came alive again
Corona notwithstanding: The 5th ECP (European Chemistry Partnering) lives – and is probably even more important than ever. The digital three-day event brought together participants from business and academia as well as from all corners of the world to make contacts, initiate collaborations and discuss the major substantive challenges of the future.
As in previous years, the 5th ECP was all about business networking and partnering. In more than 1,200 pre-arranged online meetings, SMEs met with large companies, investors, and service providers. And once again this year, numerous representatives of start-ups were present, making the discussions even more interesting. In several flash sessions, man
