**Mocean Energy and Proserv Collaborate on Low-Carbon Subsea Power Development**
In a significant move towards sustainability, Scottish ocean energy pioneer Mocean Energy has partnered with Aberdeen-headquartered global controls technology specialist Proserv to develop innovative low-carbon solutions for subsea control systems. This strategic collaboration aims to revolutionize the offshore energy sector by creating a reliable, renewable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional umbilical power cables.
Mocean Energy, renowned for its wave and solar-powered energy converters, has already demonstrated the efficacy of its Blue X wave energy converter prototype, which can be paired with battery storage to deliver uninterrupted green power. This technology has been showcased through the Renewables for Subsea Power program. In addition, Mocean’s first commercial product, the Blue Star wave energy converter, is now ready for deployment.
Proserv brings its expertise in providing innovative controls technologies for life-of-field offshore applications. Together, the two companies are working diligently to integrate new technologies such as underwater drone systems for monitoring both wind and oil and gas operations. This synergy is expected to not only reduce operational emissions but also enhance efficiency and reliability in subsea environments.
The ultimate goal of this partnership is to develop a customisable ocean power solution powered entirely by wave, solar, and battery technologies. This solution could be pivotal in reducing operational emissions from offshore developments globally, aligning with global sustainability goals. Davis Larssen, CEO of Proserv, emphasized the importance of advancing clean and renewable energy solutions for subsea operations.
“We at Proserv firmly believe that the future of subsea control systems must align with global sustainability objectives,” stated Larssen. “By partnering with Mocean Energy, we are driving the development of robust, renewable power sources that can significantly reduce operational emissions and improve efficiency in subsea environments.”
Cameron McNatt, Managing Director of Mocean Energy, echoed these sentiments by highlighting the potential of this collaboration in accelerating the development of low-carbon solutions for the offshore energy industry. “This partnership will significantly accelerate the development of innovative technologies needed to deliver low-carbon solutions for the offshore energy industry,” said McNatt. “Together, we are committed to creating and providing customisable ocean power solutions that will revolutionise the offshore energy sector and contribute to the decarbonisation of oil and gas production.”
This collaborative effort underscores the industry’s shift towards sustainability, emphasizing a cleaner and more efficient approach to offshore energy production.
