Questions and Concerns

Marine Renewable Energy – Marine renewable energy includes tidal, wave, and ocean current technologies for clean power.

Marine renewable energy is a broader term that encompasses all forms of energy harnessed from the marine environment. This includes not only wave and tidal energy but also offshore wind power, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), and salinity gradient power.

While offshore wind is currently the most commercially deployed and mature marine energy technology, the market for wave and tidal power is growing rapidly. The entire marine renewable energy sector is a critical part of the global effort to decarbonize energy systems and combat climate change.
