Offshore structures for energy exploitation studied
Researchers from the Centre for Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) of the University of Oporto are going to start a project for the stabilisation of offshore structures for renewable energy use, estimating that this can reduce investment costs by 20 percent.
Speaking to Lusa news agency, Tiago Ferradosa, researcher from CIIMAR, explained on 12 April that the project, entitled POSEIDON and funded with 250 thousand Euros by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), aims to study the optimisation of these systems from the point of view of foundation protection and maintenance.
The offshore foundations are structures, fixed or floating, installed offshore and used for various purposes, including for the use of renewable energy, which is the focus of this project.
