ExxonMobil has initiated the process for engineering, procurement and construction contracts as part of its plans to expand carbon capture and storage (CCS) at its LaBarge, Wyoming facility, which has already captured more CO2 than any other facility in the world. The expansion project will capture up to 1 million metric tons of CO2, in addition to the 6-7 million metric tons already captured at LaBarge each year.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced that the Business Network for Offshore Wind is a recipient of its Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) grant, the U.S. government’s most successful export assistance program. The Network will use the grant to launch its Global Gateway program, which will facilitate connecting U.S.-based companies to the global offshore wind marketplace and supply chain by organizing delegation trips to tradeshows and conferences in key markets in Europe, Asia, and South America.
CRP Subsea and Hellenic Cables have completed dynamic cable testing at the University of Exeter, as part of the EU-funded MaRINET2 research programme. The results show that when tested with a CRP Subsea Bend Stiffener (protecting it against overbending) the power cable survived 3.7 times as many cycles and was on average 72.5% stiffer than the power cable alone. These results highlight the importance of a Bend Stiffener’s presence to extend the fatigue life of the system to be used in future Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) applications.
Marine-i has welcomed the news that Global OTEC Resources has entered into a partnership for the deployment of the world’s first commercial floating OTEC platform, which will be located in the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe.
