  • TNO: Keep it simple, sustainable and predictable…

    19 June 2013

    Currently most of the licences for offshore wind farm development zones are granted with a lease period of 20 to 25 years.

  • USA: Ocean Energy Development with Less Sound

    25 June 2012
    Environment

    The rise of ocean infrastructure development to tap energy sources such as tides, offshore wind and natural gas will require more pile driving, the practice of pounding long, hollow steel pipes called piles into the ocean floor to support energy turbines and other structures. But pile driving creates loud, underwater booms that can harm fish […]
