Projects & Track Record
DMEC has led several notable projects, including the OESA Pilot Accelerator Program launched in 2019 with a budget of €6.2 million, of which €3.1 million came from Interreg European Regional Development Funds. This program involved 12 organizations from six North Sea countries and aimed to accelerate four ocean energy technologies to commercialization through testing, certification, and supply chain development (source: seabased.com). Additionally, DMEC coordinates the H2020 EU-SCORES project, which includes the first demonstration of hybrid wave-wind-offshore solar energy, and is involved in ongoing initiatives such as Ocean DEMO and MARINGER-i for offshore testing (source: corpowerocean.com).
Recent Developments
In the past two years, DMEC has launched the Marine Energy Hub in the Netherlands, serving as a central point for the Dutch marine energy industry and promoting collaboration and implementation (source: offshore-energy.biz). They have maintained six key European projects, including OPIN, and participated in high-profile events such as Solarplaza in Amsterdam and Paris.
