Cleaner air in United States and Europe is brewing more Atlantic hurricanes, a new U.S. government study found.

U.S. government scientists calculate that levels of the potent heat-trapping gas methane rose at a record pace last year.

The footprint of tidal stream and wave projects remains very small compared to other renewables.

Any project would require significant levels of investment.

According to India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the country is home to roughly 7,600 kilometers of coastline.

The projects will include R&D into the potential of wave energy, as well as the testing of wave energy converter tech.

The emerging tidal power sector took a number of steps forward this week.

Recent years have seen a number of new developments centered around tidal power take shape.

The islands of the Philippines have characteristics that make some more suited to certain types of travelers. Here’s what to know about six.

The Kincardine Offshore Windfarm is located in waters off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Orbital Marine Power will assume role of project coordinator and lead technology developer.

The environmental footprint of shipping, a crucial cog in the global economy, is significant.

Company says project is in “a feasibility assessment stage.”

An intergovernmental conference has taken early steps toward drawing up an agreement to curb plastic pollution and marine litter around the world.

The shipping sector needs to find new ways of reducing its environmental footprint.

Costs of floating offshore wind will, however, need to be driven down going forward.

It’s hoped a prototype of the turbine will be installed in 2023.

The planned development is located at the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy.

The money will be used to support Nova Innovation’s Volume Manufacturing and Logistics for Tidal Energy project.

The O2 turbine weighs 680 metric tons and has a length of 74 meters.
