Press Release: Marine-i event will shine a spotlight on new Wave Energy Technology
Marine-i will host a special ‘Meet the Buyer’ workshop on 24th January to showcase the development of AMOG Consulting Ltd’s innovative Wave Energy Converter Concept.
Part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Marine-i
was set up to promote marine innovation in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. It
has provided funding to AMOG to support the assembly and testing of the new
device in Cornwall.
This one-third scale device will be tested at the Falmouth Bay
test site in summer 2019, following testing at the COAST laboratory at
University of Plymouth and fabrication within the Cornwall Marine Enterprise
zone. This workshop will cover some of the challenges faced in the development
of this unique marine technology, demonstrating lessons learned and opening
discussion amongst industry members to help overcome any limitations and
highlight commercial opportunities.
Prof Andrew Potts, CEO and Founder of AMOG says:
"The workshop will be a fantastic opportunity for us
to lay out the longer term needs of the supply chain from a developer's
perspective, as well as giving an opportunity for members of the supply chain
to become more familiar with AMOG and vice versa. Cornwall has established a
world class marine renewable energy supply chain that is invaluable to the
future of our innovative wave energy converter technology."
Dr George Crossley of the University of Exeter, who is
coordinating the event, says:
“This is a great opportunity for businesses, funders and
operators within the marine industry to hear about the development of AMOG’s
wave energy converter, as well as the South West marine facility and funding
environment. The event aims to engage businesses with latest developments in the
marine sector. Business will also have the opportunity to be invited to tender
for deployment, operations and maintenance work on this wave energy device as
well as understand the longer term next generation needs.”
This workshop will be hosted at the National Maritime
Museum, Falmouth and is free to attend. Delegates can view full details and
