A new international review has shed light on how offshore energy structures—from oil and gas platforms to wind turbines—shape marine ecosystems and the benefits they provide to society. The paper, ...

Researchers at the Norwegian institute Sintef are testing a special floating structure that Equinor wants to deploy in offshore waters. The structure is built with an anchoring system that is claimed ...

offshore data centres are credible, site-specific choices that have moved beyond experimentation and have become a reality ...

The beautiful, gnarled, nooked-and-crannied reefs that surround tropical islands serve as a marine refuge and natural buffer against stormy seas. But as the effects of climate change bleach and break ...

The new floating structures can be made of light, reinforced concrete or similar materials, and are claimed to withstand 6m high waves. They can be utilized with standard photovoltaic modules that are ...

Wind farms are not all created equal. During the previous 12 months ending February 2018, the average capacity factor for U.S. wind turbines—virtually all of which were located on land—was 36.9%.

In offshore oil structures, composites offer the potential to save weight, reduce maintenance, enhance safety, limit adverse environmental impact and improve durability. Advancements in materials (e.g ...
