    PARIS, France – CGG has partnered with the Selkie project, a new €5.2m cross-border initiative aiming to boost the marine energy industry in Wales and Ireland.

    The Selkie project is designed to bring together leading researchers and businesses to improve the performance of wave and tidal marine energy devices to help deliver commitments to net-zero targets. CGG will work with Selkie to test and validate new technology tools on wave and tidal demonstration projects.

    The Selkie project is establishing a network of developers and supply chain companies in Ireland and Wales to create a set of multi-use marine energy technology, engineering and operation tools, templates, standards and models for use across this sector.

    CGG says it will draw on its earth and environmental science expertise, advanced data science and cutting-edge technology to support the project through the design and testing of new environmental monitoring technology.
