TidalKite: innovation in tidal power generation

Youri Wentzel is the CEO and founder of SeaQurrent, a Dutch clean energy company that specializes in developing an innovative technology for harnessing the power of tidal currents. Youri has an engineering background with over 20 years of experience in the offshore and energy industry and has worked on numerous projects involving automating of gas treatment installations. At SeaQurrent, Youri and his team are focused on developing an innovative renewable energy technology powered by a kite-like device, called the TidalKite. Thanks to the kites' patented 3D harnessing design, the technology has the potential to significantly increase the deployment potential, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of tidal power generation, and could help to accelerate the transition to a clean energy future. In his presentation Youri will share insights into the development of the technology, the challenges overcome and the planned development to make TidalKite a mainstream energy solution and become a major player in the clean energy industry in the years ahead.

New Energies – New Challenges: Re-inventing the Offshore Industry

Offshore production of renewable energy is rapidly increasing with developments such as wind farms, ocean current turbines and floating solar farms. More advancements are to come with for example offshore hydrogen production. These developments make use of experience from the existing offshore industry, but also require innovations to overcome new challenges and ensure the new energy sources are cost competitive with other sources of energy. In this symposium the current state of the offshore industry is sketched as well as the developments that are ongoing to produce new energies and challenges they bring. Technology to overcome these challenges is presented as well as examples of how offshore installation companies are adapting to meet the demand for new energies and climate goals.
