Projects

Offshore Proof aims to establish a network of offshore test sites that accelerates the global acceptance and certification of offshore renewable energy innovations, with a focus on wave, tidal, offshore solar, and energy storage technologies. The project works to harmonize and apply testing protocols across a series of real-world test campaigns—building confidence among investors and regulators through both rigorous validation and the active engagement of stakeholders via Communities of Practicies.

In order to reduce risk and increase confidence in marine energy technologies, Bluespring initiated and managed the MET-CERTIFIED project to apply and advance certification for marine energy convertors.

Five developers of promising offshore energy solutions are joining forces in Offshore For Sure (O4S), supported by specialists from Belgium and the Netherlands. These projects represent innovative solutions from technology developers with a proven track record in the fields of tidal energy, wave energy, offshore floating solar energy, and energy storage.

Vertical axis tidal turbine demonstrated from 2009-2012 in the Westerschelde

What are the effect of a tidal power plant on fish, sea mammals and to the seabed? On behalf of Tocardo, Bluespring initiated and manages a multi-disciplinary research and monitoring project to investigate the environmental impacts of a tidal stream array installed in a storm surge barrier in the province of Zeeland.

Energizing Coastal Regions with Offshore Renewable Energy (ENCORE) such as wave and tidal energy and harvesting solar energy at sea. Bluespring is the initiator and lead partner of the ENCORE project.

BlueTEC was built to demonstrate a circular and modular solution to power islands with tidal energy.

Bluespring was responsible for project development, permitting and financing on behalf of Bluewater.
