Cork Harbour Offshore specialists Green Rebel will today (Thursday) share their techniques for mapping and identifying areas of the seabed suitable for wind farm developments with experts from across the globe. The company provides site investigation services to the offshore wind sector.
Jared Peters, Head of Green Rebel’s Marine division, has been invited to speak at the bi-annual Oceanology International Americas conference in San Diego. The three-day event is aimed at those involved in exploring, protecting and sustainably operating in the world’s oceans and waterways.
Green Rebel will present how its approach to geophysical surveys is helping to accelerate and streamline offshore renewable energy developments. It recently carried out a bespoke multi-sensor, multi-client campaign for offshore wind energy, which was one of the first of its kind in the world.
Jared Peters said, “We’re delighted to be asked to share our experiences at such a significant global event. We believe that multi-client surveys are the way forward, meaning the data will be readily available for developers to use. This approach reduces the environmental impact, reduces emissions as well as avoiding any potential disruption for other marine users. We’re committed to working with and around the communities who make a living from the sea and have also successfully located lost fishing gear. Other benefits include accelerating development timelines, reducing costs for developers and the potential to share data for academic research purposes.”
Jared Peters will be joined on stage by experts from the United States and Germany, including leaders in the field of unmanned submersibles, a former hydrographer from the US Navy and a research associate from the institute for wind energy systems in Bremerhaven.
Green Rebel has a team of over 80 scientists, chemists, engineers, ecologists, vessel crew and business practitioners across multiple locations in Cork and Limerick. It offers offshore wind developers an end-to-end set of data services that extend from acquisition, processing, interpretations and reporting, with their fleet of purpose-built vessels, aircraft, floating LiDAR buoys and an in-house team of scientists and industry experts.
