The ENERGIGUNE’12 project comprises the development of several lines of research in the field of energy by strengthening of two strategic areas such as Energy Storage (Electrochemistry and Thermal) and Marine Energy. This project involves the CIC energiGUNE (consortium leader), IK-4 Ikerlan, IK-4 CIDETEC, Tecnalia R & I, AZTI-Tecnalia and the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Institute for Materials Synthesis and Study of the Department of Science and Technology of Navigation, Naval Construction Machinery and APERT group of the Electronic Technology Department of the UPV/EHU. The APERT group participates in the field of marine energy (wind and waves) in order to develop and enhance the capabilities of the bimep test area as reference test center for both, wave energy and floating offshore wind.
