In 2021, she joined the Water Power Technologies Office where she oversees a portfolio of projects that focus on the design and validation of wave and tidal technologies.
Topic:
Elaine will present information about the existing and future development of Wave/Tidal/Hydrogen marine energy. She will break down how the federal regulatory paths of both the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) converge. As we move to the future of innovative marine energy sources, surveying and geomatics will play a critical role in its success. The funding landscape investments that are being made by the DOE will be presented with a discussion of other successful projects completed by the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC).
