UK group IT Power has been awarded a contract by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), as part of its China Prosperity Strategic Programme, to establish co-operation between the UK and China on ocean energy.
Working with the Sustainable Energy Research Group (SERG) at the University of Southampton and Chinese partners, including the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and the China Ocean Energy Society, the team will study the wave and tidal energy resources of China’s seas and prepare a road map for development and deployment.
Technology co-operation between British interests will be facilitated.
