JMSE Webinar | Offshore Renewables for a Transition to a Low Carbon Society
In this webinar, our focus will be on ‘Offshore Renewables for a Transition to a Low Carbon Society’. Marine renewable energy resources are abundant, and the amount of energy that can be generated using existing technologies varies from site-to-site and day-to-day, depending on the location and weather conditions.
As we are all aware, a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions represents an issue of increasing importance for a transition to a low carbon future. From this perspective, the technologies that are currently associated with marine energy extraction are very important for achieving the expected energy efficiency and environmental protection targets. On the other hand, although significant advances have been noticed in recent years, regarding the extraction of ocean energy, there are still important challenges related to the implementation of cost-effective technologies that could survive in harsh marine environments. At the same time, wave energy farms can influence in a significant way the nearshore dynamics and provide an effective coastal protection.
Such aspects will be discussed in this webinar, which seeks to contribute to the renewable energy agenda and to improve knowledge and performance especially as regards harvesting wave energy.
The following experts will be present and talk:
- Professor Liliana Rusu, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati, Romania
- Professor Peter Troch, Department of Civil Engineering, Ghent University, Technologiepark 60, 9052 Zwijnaarder (Ghent), Belgium
- Dr. Vicky Stratigaki, Department of Civil Engineering, Ghent University, Technologiepark 60, 9052 Zwijnaarder (Ghent), Belgium
- Dr. Mariana Bernardino, Centre for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering (CENTEC), Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal
When? 18 October 2022 at 10:00 am CEST | 4:00 am EDT | 4:00 pm CST Asia
