US DOE Awards $37 Million for Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy Technology Development

Green Car Congress

The 27 projects range from concept studies and component design research to prototype development and in-water device testing. The goal is to develop an optimal generator for current energy conversion. Such a device offers the potential to significantly reduce construction costs and allow for generation equipment to remain dry.
