The ocean environment contains an unlimited supply of energy, and covers over 70% of our planet. Given the challenges we face as custodians of the world, it’s our responsibility to develop renewable energy sources to fuel our economy and support society in a way that safeguards the planet, and protects our future.

Capturing, converting, storing and transferring energy sustainably, at a price that is affordable to all, requires research, analysis, new technologies and collaboration, in order to push the boundaries of possibility.

The key to realising this goal is innovative, inclusive, and adventurous marine research delivered by the National Subsea Centre. This will involve prioritising the sustainable use of the ocean for economic and job growth and the betterment of society – referred to as the Blue Economy. It will also lead to exciting new ways of working and more multidiscipline and inclusive cross-sectoral opportunities for the long-term protection of the planet.
