EMEC is an innovation catalyst pioneering the transition to a clean energy future.

As the world’s first and leading facility for testing wave and tidal technologies at sea, spanning components, tools and subsystems to full-scale demonstration, EMEC supports projects with their operational, metocean, environmental and consenting needs.

To date, more marine energy converters have been deployed at EMEC’s sites than any other single site in the world.

EMEC is also leading innovation projects exploring floating wind, the integration of renewables, green hydrogen, storage, e-fuels and islands decarbonisation.

Indeximate are a rapidly scaling climate data company, laser focused on extending lifetimes of undersea cables through structural health monitoring. They utilise their expertise in Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing to extract meaningful insights from rich, but complex, data sources.

Utilising their proprietary compression technique and state-of-the-art Scattersphere interface, Indeximate are able to identify both short and long-term trends experienced by cables and highlight risks before they become critical. In the FOREST consortium, Indeximate lead the Optical Sensing Work Package, delivering cable monitoring and orthogonal data products.

The National Renewable Energy Centre of Spain (CENER) develops applied research in renewable energies, and provides technological support to companies and energy institutions in five areas: wind, solar thermal and photovoltaic solar energy, biomass, energy transition in cities, and grid integration, electrical storage and hydrogen.

The aim of the CENER Wind Energy Department is to develop applied research activities and provide technical advice in the wind energy field, offering services to all the players in the sector, such as: promoters, manufacturers, financial entities, operators, public administrations and associations. The aim is to improve the efficiency and therefore the competitiveness of an ever-changing sector.

Apollo’s PALM Quick Connection System (QCS) is a plug-and-socket solution that enables fast, safe connection and disconnection of floating offshore renewable energy devices from their dynamic electrical cables. Designed for ruggedness in the marine environment, the PALM QCS removes the need for personnel transfer, duplicated pull-in equipment or the use of divers, reducing vessel time, cost and risk.

Proven through offshore trials and ready for commercial deployment, PALM QCS supports efficient maintenance and tow to port operations, helping reduce cost in floating offshore renewables.
