Promoting the viability of Marine Renewable Energies

Marine Renewable Energies (MRE) covers a range of technologies along different maturity timelines:

  • Fixed wind—a mature technology—where wind farms are already used to generate power

  • Marine Energy Devices such as Tidal and River Energy Converters, Wave Energy Converters or Ocean Thermal Energy Converters, still in the early stages of development.

Leveraging our expertise in marine, power and offshore, we support the business model of MRE projects by providing Approvals in Principle,Type Certifications for equipment or device as well as qualifications of new technologies and power curve certifications. For projects on the way to commercialization, we propose to cover all the safety, intergrity and performance aspects of a development with a Project Certification.
