Irish offshore survey company Green Rebel is taking part in an Enterprise Ireland trade mission to the US this week.
The Cork-headquartered company has travelled to Washington DC and is attending events focusing on sustainability as well as St Patrick’s Day celebrations with An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar TD.
Green Rebel was established in Crosshaven in 2020 and provides a full range of survey and data services to the offshore renewable energy industry.
It specialises in acquiring, processing and analysing marine, aerial and met-ocean data using its fleet of survey boats and aircraft together with purpose-built innovative technologies.
Green Rebel has live and upcoming projects in Ireland, Scotland and off the coast of mainland Europe. It is also examining a number of potential projects in international markets such as the United States and Australia.
Kieran Ivers, CEO of Green Rebel (pictured, right) said, “The United States represents a huge, developing market for the offshore renewable energy industry.
“There is a pipeline of work emerging and Green Rebel wants to be part of it.
“The US has set goals to deploy 30GW of offshore wind by 2030 with an additional 15GW of floating offshore wind by 2035.
“That is more than seven times Ireland’s targets.
“An international supply chain will be needed to support the US development.
“We, at Green Rebel, have already demonstrated our ability to do business in Ireland and Europe from our bases in Cork and Limerick.
“We are looking forward to building links and developing relationships with the support of Enterprise Ireland.”
The St Patrick’s Day trip is organised by Enterprise Ireland which is hosting more than 50 overseas business events this week showcasing the Irish companies that are scaling rapidly.
Ivers will be attending events with key people from the US Department of Energy, the Chief of Staff to John Kerry, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, and the US Ambassador to Ireland.
