Advancing the Marine Energy Industry
Powering the Blue Economy
Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC)
A national marine energy center, sponsored by the Department of Energy, with a mission to advance the marine energy industry and power the blue economy.
AMEC is a university-led consortium between the University of New Hampshire, Lehigh University, Stony Brook University, and the Coastal Studies Institute, to address the ongoing needs for research, development, and testing in support of wave and tidal and ocean current energy. For its current work scope, AMEC partners and collaborates with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the European Marine Energy Center on specific tasks.
A national marine energy center dedicated to research and testing of renewable energy technologies that harness the power of the ocean. This video, created in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire, Stony Brook University, Lehigh University, and Coastal Studies Institute, offers an in-depth look at AMEC's purpose and capabilities. It showcases the wave-powered water pump that can benefit the aquaculture industry by helping circulate nutrient-dense water from deep waters to the surface.
