Europe’s €11m ($12.2m) Foresea — Funding Ocean Renewable Energy through Strategic European Action — scheme has shortlisted 15 technologies for finance under the programme, which aims to move advanced-stage ocean energy concepts into commercialisation.

The technologies anointed by Foresea, which is funded under the Interreg North-West Europe economic development initiative, will get demonstration berths at Emec in Scotland, SmartBay in Ireland, SEM-REV in France and the Tidal Testing Centre (TTC) in the Netherlands.
