This grant, offered by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), alongside the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), is for advancing critical offshore wind and marine energy technologies. The primary purpose is to enhance the reliability of mooring systems crucial for floating offshore wind and marine energy converters. Concurrently, a significant objective is to develop and implement methods that effectively reduce the noise generated during the installation of fixed-bottom offshore wind energy foundations, thereby addressing environmental impacts and improving project efficiency.
