What makes DMEC a North Sea Farmer?

Next to greening and balancing electricity networks, marine energy offers multi value propositions for a wide variety of markets. One of the solutions marine energy provides is to power sustainable aquaculture with renewable marine energy. Also, marine energy and aquaculture can complement each other in multi-use sea farms, creating the optimal synergy of nature, food and energy.

What could other North Sea Farmers approach you for?

We are looking forward to joining the NSF community to further explore collaboration opportunities. NSF can approach us for solutions for powering aquaculture with marine energy and for collaboration opportunities regarding multi-use in offshore energy parks / sea farms in the North Sea and abroad.
