Ocean Energy: Market & Technology Report
This report analyzes ocean energy markets, technologies, policies, and research. Ocean energy has high theoretical potential for power generation and a low GHG footprint. However, its levelized cost of energy is currently much higher than solar or wind energy. The report reviews 20 different technologies in four areas: tidal, wave, ocean thermal and salinity gradient. The technologies vary substantially in their Technology Readiness Levels. The report also covers environmental impact and policy and funding opportunities. 179 slides.
