ORECCA web-GIS ORECCA web-GIS is now available online. This application allows to navigate and to get geographically distributed information about offshore renewables resources in the European seas. The description of the implemented information and the main functionalities of the application are available through the INFO button in the website.
ORECCA final reports The final reports of the ORECCA project are available for download in the Documents section (no registration is required).
ORECCA Roadmap The ORECCA project is pleased to publish the EU offshore Renewable Energy Roadmap. The document represents for the first time a combined roadmap developed for the offshore wind, wave and tidal stream energy sectors, focussed on the synergies, opportunities and barriers to development.

The goals of the ORECCA project (Off-shore Renewable Energy Conversion platforms – Coordination Action) are to create a framework for knowledge sharing and to develop a roadmap for research activities in the context of offshore renewable energy that are a relatively new and challenging field of interest. In particular, the project will stimulate collaboration in research activities leading towards innovative, cost efficient and environmentally benign offshore renewable energy conversion platforms for wind, wave and other ocean energy resources, for their combined use as well as for the complementary use such as aquaculture e.g. biomass and fishes and monitoring of the sea environment e.g. marine mammals, fish and bird life. The objectives of the ORECCA project are to:
