OSU is leading the way by testing marine energy devices right here in Oregon\u2019s Fourth Congressional District.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The $2.49 million federal investment through the U.S. Department of Energy will be used to identify new forms of marine energy, and to generate publicly available data and test platforms to increase efficiency of marine energy devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThese financial resources from the US Department of Energy Water Power Technologies Office, and the associated support from the Oregon delegation, are necessary to continue building the next generation of offshore wave energy technologies and environmental monitoring capacity while working with communities and regional groups to ensure fairness in process and outcomes. With this funding Oregon State University and the Pacific Marine Energy Center will be able to continue our long heritage of developing homegrown talent to develop technology solutions, create new companies, and fill good renewable energy jobs across the USA,\u201d<strong> said Dr. Bryson Robertson, Director of the Pacific Marine Energy Center at Oregon State University.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Wyden, Merkley and Hoyle have long advocated developing marine energy technology through research at OSU to help combat the effects of climate change.
