Mocean Energy Blue Star
Our Blue Star wave energy converter will provide reliable, renewable power for a range of subsea applications – from control systems, to ROVs, to fully autonomous underwater vehicles. Its compact design fits in 40 foot shipping containers, and uses magnetic-geared power to charge onboard batteries, providing continual power. In spring 2021, Mocean Energy entered a collaborative initiative to demonstrate how wave energy coupled with underwater energy storage can power subsea equipment. Net Zero Technology Centre provided grant funding, matched by financial and in-kind contributions from other partners, including Harbour Energy, Transmark, Serica Energy, Baker Hughes, and energy storage developers Verlume.
