On the morning of October 26, Navantia Puerto Real celebrated the official act of handing over to the client the HVDC module of the Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 project, which is a large oil field located in the North Sea about 140 kilometers west of Satavanger in Norway. This large off-shore project has been commissioned by the companies Aibel Norway and Equinor. After 14 months of intense work to successfully complete and on date the construction of this electrical substation, the HVDC module built in Puerto Real left on October 27, bound for its destination aboard the Heavy Lift “Biglift Barentsz”. The trip is scheduled to last about a week. The project has involved Navantia Puerto Real around 835,000 hours of work, employing an average of 375 people during the 14 months of work. In addition, it is necessary to ...
Navantia Australia ha firmado un Acuerdo Estratégico con el Ministerio de Defensa de Australia, mediante el cual se establece el marco de colaboración que asegure que todos los buques actuales y futuros, diseñados por Navantia y en servicio en la Marina Australiana, están correctamente mantenidos durante toda su vida operativa. El Acuerdo ha sido firmado en Sídney, a bordo del destructor HMAS Hobart, por el Vicealmirante Michael Noonan, jefe de la Marina Australia, y el presidente de Navantia Australia, Warren King. Susana de Sarriá Sopeña, presidenta de Navantia, y el secretario adjunto de Construcción Naval, Tony Dalton, son también firmantes del acuerdo, de forma no presencial.
Recently, a research of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Tsinghua has been published in the ‘Jounal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy’ (AIP). In this publication, reference is made to the fact that this group has successfully tested a method for generating hydrogen in situ and on demand, from a metal alloy. The operation of a hydrogen cell is based on a polymeric membrane that separates the anode side from the cathode side. In the anode, hydrogen dissociates into protons and electrons with the help of a catalyst. Protons are conducted through the membrane to the cathode while electrons are forced to travel through an external circuit where energy is produced. In the cathode catalyst, oxygen molecules react with electrons and protons forming water so that the only waste generated is water vapor ...
Pioneer country and one of the leaders in wind energy, is now studying to build a megapark of marine wind turbines that would have the capacity to produce 10 GW (10,000 MW). This energy would be sufficient to cover the annual electricity demand of more than 10 million European households. In total, offshore wind farms installed in Denmark have a capacity of 1.7 GW, which would mean multiplying the project by more than five. Although coal, oil and gas still play an important role in the country’s energy mix, wind power is increasing. It would, by far, be the world’s most powerful project in offshore wind power (also known as offshore), taking into account that the largest park currently in operation, located in British waters, has an installed capacity of 659 MW. Although, for now, it’s just an ...
