Offshore Energy Research Association of Nova Scotia (OERA) is an independent, not-for-profit organization that funds and facilitates collaborative offshore energy and environmental research and development including examination of renewable energy resources and their interaction with the marine environment. Our mission is to lead environmental, renewable and geoscience energy research that enables the sustainable development of Nova Scotia energy resources through strategic partnerships with academic, government and industry.
OERA seeks proposals that foster research and development related to offshore petroleum and renewable energy resources and their interaction with the marine environment and the diffusion of that knowledge including the assessment of the potential impacts of (i) petroleum exploration, development and production, and (ii) renewable energy technologies, exploiting ocean currents, wind, tides and waves, on the marine environment and where consistent with these goals to encourage building research capacity in Nova Scotia.
