REPLAY ▶ NEMMO Project Side Event at OEE2021: “On the Cutting Edge of Tidal Blade Design and Materials”
The NEMMO project, now in its third year, has already made great progress in testing and producing tailored composites, coatings and appendages for a novel tidal blade.
NEMMO project team hosted a webinar highlighting the latest findings on materials and modelling, as well as the results we have achieved on the 8th December 2021. The event was held as an official side event at the Ocean Energy Europe 2021 annual conference (OEE2021).
