European research project for hybrid offshore marine energy parks kicks off

EU-SCORES Project aims to deliver ‘world-first’ bankable hybrid offshore marine energy parks

The €45 million marine energy project - European SCalable Offshore Renewable Energy Sources (EU-SCORES) - will pave the way for bankable hybrid offshore parks across Europe by 2025. Under the project lead of the Dutch Marine Energy Centre (DMEC), EU-SCORES will unlock the large-scale potential of wind, wave and offshore solar systems. The current global annual electricity consumption is about 21,000 TWh and is predicted to double by 2050, with a growing population and GDP. Efficient and effective use of offshore renewables is pivotal in the EU’s transition towards an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. To accomplish this, the EU set clear targets... ... More: Official Press Release DMEC
