Project description
This project brings together stakeholders across the 2SEAS region in a coordinated effort to demonstrate the first internationally recognised certified tidal power technologies for both floating and dam integrated markets in the 2SEAS region by 2018. The expected result of the project is increased adoption of insurable and therefore bankable tidal power project arrays in the 2SEAS region and beyond. Additionally, existing networks will be connected and reinforced through this project dealing with policy, governance, SMEs, supply chain, technology and environment in the field of marine energy.
Role of Ghent University
As co-promotor of the project, Ghent University deploys an innovation manager who will monitor, identify, gather, analyse and transfer the knowledge in the domain of marine energy technologies in the 2 Seas Region. This with the purpose to stimulate the further development and transfer of new marine energy technologies to the industry and to get these low carbon technologies adopted in the 2 Seas region. Furthermore Ghent University is also responsible for the communication and dissemination of the project results. MET-CERTIFIED is cofinanced by the European Fund for Regional Development (ERFD) under grant agreement No 2S01-020. Also the Ministry of Economic Affairs in the Netherlands, Province of South-Holland and North-Holland and the Belgian Province of West Flanders are offering financial support.
