Strong stakeholder engagement towards Minesto’s first tidal energy Dragon farm in Hestfjord, Faroe Islands

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On Monday 3rd February, ocean energy developer Minesto welcomed Faroese stakeholders, authorities as well as the public to a seminar at the Nordic House in Torshavn. Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto, presented the company’s vision for a sustainable energy system in the Faroe Islands, a 200MW buildout roadmap. The CEO of Faroese utility company Sev, Hákun Djurhuus took part in a panel to discuss the role of tidal energy in reaching a 100% renewable electricity generation as well as the collaboration with Minesto in developing the first Dragon farm (tidal array) in Hestfjord.

The Minesto event attracted a broad range of stakeholders, there among Faroese suppliers, energy companies, academia, authorities, politicians and the business community in general.

“With world class tidal stream resources, marine operations skills and strong local partners Faroe Islands are an ideal location for the first build out of Minesto’s dragon farms. Selecting Faroe Islands as our step-in market is for our also motivated by the strong political will and our partner SEVs determination to take the energy transition all the way to net-zero,” said Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto.

“The collaboration with Minesto is of great value to us, together we are pioneering tidal energy. Our vision is to reach 100% sustainable electricity generation and tidal power with its predictable power has the potential to be the key enabler to reach the target,” commented Hákun Djuurhus, CEO of Sev.

Martin Edlund presented how Minesto’s dragons contribute to the Faroe Islands electricity mix by lowering total investment needs and providing security of supply to enable the renewable transition. Martin Edlund described the need for local collaboration and investments:

“The Hestjord Dragon Farm will be a first-of-a-kind tidal energy array. We actively work with Sev and the Faroese community with site development to plan for infrastructure and obtain vital permits. There is a genuine interest from Faroese investors and actors to become a part of this journey,” said Martin Edlund.

“Realising the Hestfjord dragon farm is a joint work, also outlined in the collaboration agreement between Sev and Minesto. Sev’s role in the Hestfjord project includes providing onshore grid infrastructure and of course, willingness to buy the electricity produced,” said Hákun Djurhuus.

“We congratulate Minesto for a successful event at the Nordic House, attracting many actors and stakeholders and creating an open and interesting discussion, also acknowledging the challenges ahead. We look forward to continued collaboration with Minesto regarding the realization of the world’s first tidal “Dragon” farm of 10MW in Hestfjord,” concludes Hákun Djurhuus.

The View From the World’s Largest Humanitarian Aid Hub – Dubai Humanitarian: Children Suffered Most From Global Crises in 2024

–  Over $137m of aid distributed to 106 countries from Dubai Humanitarian aid hub used by international organisations including UNICEF, IFRC, WHO and WFP

FULL RELEASE CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE

DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dubai Humanitarian, the world’s largest humanitarian aid hub, leading efforts to provide aid to those affected by the crisis in Gaza, has released data from the Humanitarian Logistics Databank that reveals more than $137million worth of humanitarian aid was distributed to 106 countries during 2024.

21 September 2024 – Dubai Humanitarian Loading Aid

 

2024 was marked by significant global crises, with the data demonstrating the heavy impact that conflicts and natural disasters have had on children. Underreported crises in Yemen, Pakistan, and some African nations have led to a quadrupling of children’s food aid to $19.6million and a tripling of education aid to $1.2million.

2024 in numbers

  • Health Aid: Nearly one-third of the aid, more than $40million, was dedicated to health.
  • Food Security Aid: The demand for food security products saw a dramatic increase, quadrupling from $5million in 2023 to $19.6million in 2024. This included 54.6million sachets of food supplements suitable for children from six months old.
  • Education Aid: There was an almost quadrupling in the demand for education aid, which increased from $320,000 in 2023 to more than $1.2million in 2024.
  • Shelter Aid: Almost one-third of the aid, totalling $31.7million, was allocated to shelter.
  • Water and Sanitation Aid: The demand for water and sanitation aid remained consistent with 2023 levels, amounting to $3.2million.

Giuseppe Saba, CEO, Dubai Humanitarian, commented:

“2024 was a year of unprecedented challenges for the world. From our Humanitarian Logistics Databank data we can see that it is children that were most affected. With our UN partners and other humanitarian members, in 2024 we supported the distribution of more than $137million of aid to countries across the world, but the enormous impact on the nutrition and education of children has been particularly striking.”

Walid Ibrahim, UNHRD Network Coordinator, added:

“Through partnerships with over 22 organizations, the UN Humanitarian Response Depot, operated by WFP, mobilised and delivered critical lifesaving support to major emergencies including Afghanistan, Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen, as well as to ongoing operations in 65 countries worldwide in 2024. This significant achievement was the result of ongoing anticipatory action, team collaboration, and the vital commitment and support of our strategic partners Dubai Humanitarian and the UAE Government in ensuring timely aid is deployed to vulnerable communities when they need it most.”

The Humanitarian Logistics Databank was launched by Dubai Humanitarian in 2018 as a centralised platform designed to enhance the humanitarian community’s emergency preparedness and response by providing real-time data on humanitarian aid stocks and flows.
