The UK Government recently announced funding for 11 Floating Off-shore Wind (FOW) projects - each project showcasing and trialling something reasonably unique in the sector. One of these projects is a hybrid wind and wave project by Marine Power Systems. The company is proposing to demonstrate a 2MW scale platform that also simultaneously harnesses 0.5MW of wave energy. Being able to cost-effectively combine the two provides reliability benefits, as well as obvious cost benefits.
Green methanol is a low carbon liquid chemical and fuel produced from sustainable biomass, often called bio-methanol, or from captured CO2 & hydrogen produced from renewable electricity, referred to as e-methanol. It is a multipurpose liquid which is easier to store and handle than green hydrogen. It's been slow to get much traction, but is showing promising signs of renewed interest with LEGO and others looking at its use in their operations. https://www.reuters.com/article/renewables-plastic-lego-novo-nordisk-idAFL8N36N1YN
