Synergistic Fouling Control Technologies (SEAFRONT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
Marine biofouling, the unwanted colonization of marine organisms on surfaces immersed in seawater has a huge economic and environmental impact in terms of maintenance requirements for marine structures, increased vessel fuel consumption, operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions and spread of non-indigenous species. The SEAFRONT project will aim to significantly advance the control of biofouling a ...

Demonstration of the technological, economic and environmental sustainability of a full-scale tidal energy device in an offshore environment (BLUETEC)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
Background
Ocean energy is one of the largest untapped renewable energy sources. The potential from offshore areas within just 12 miles of EU coast is estimated to be 19 000 MW (Munk and Wunsch, 1998). This figure grows to 114 000 MW if unexploited and virgin offshore areas further than 12 miles are included.
Wind farms and ocean-energy farms for harvest ...
