Member News: Mocean Energy launches crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube

Scottish ocean energy pioneer Mocean Energy has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube, Europe’s largest private market investment platform.

The campaign, which is now live, aims to finance the next phase of the company’s ambitious growth plans as it looks to mature its pioneering technology.

Mocean Energy is working to transform the ocean energy space with innovative technology that utilises wave, solar and battery storage to deliver reliable, renewable power and communications.

The raising of further investment will be used to support Mocean Energy’s exciting evolution as the company aims to move from the research and development (R&D) and prototype phase to technology commercialisation and internationalisation.

Through this campaign, investors can directly contribute to Mocean Energy’s mission of bringing dependable renewable energy and communications solutions to the growing Blue Economy, an essential step towards a sustainable future.

Cameron McNatt, Managing Director at Mocean Energy, said: “We are advancing our innovative technology in support of our ambition to become a global leader in the ocean energy space. This crowdfunding round is an opportunity to join us on this exciting journey as we deliver cutting-edge solutions to power a cleaner, greener future.”

Mocean Energy has already demonstrated the effectiveness of its wave and solar powered Blue X wave energy converter prototype – which can be paired with battery storage to deliver reliable green power – demonstrated through the Renewables for Subsea Power programme, and customer projects are now underway investigating the deployment of its commercial product, Blue Star.

To date Mocean Energy has received support from industry and investors include Katapult Ocean, MOL, Equity Gap, TotalEnergies, Shell – Marine Renewable Program, and Wave Energy Scotland.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
