Hear perspectives from top officials within the DOE’s Waterpower Technologies Office, National Labs, Ocean Energy Europe and technology developers on potential market opportunities for marine energy. Join us for the Path to Clean Energy: The Vast Potential and Benefits of Marine Energy on Tuesday, March 30th at 12:00 pm EDT. The Department of Energy (DOE) recently released a resource assessment on marine energy’s potential, and the results are surprising. Leveraging just one-tenth of available marine energy resources in the 50 states would equate to 5.7% of U.S electricity generation.
Ocean Energy Europe, DOE, NREL and PNNL will speak to the importance of these findings as this resource strives toward commercialization. CEO’s of ORPC, Verdant, C-Power and Oscilla will discuss their recent accomplishments, challenges they have faced along the way and what’s next.
On April 28-30, NHA will be hosting the virtual International Conference on Ocean Energy (ICOE) 2021, supported by the International Energy Agency (IEA) through Ocean Energy Systems (OES). Every two years, ICOE brings together international stakeholders, experts and exhibitors from the marine energy sectors (tidal, wave, ocean currents, ocean thermal gradients) to discuss device innovation, new market developments and regulatory frameworks to spur commercialization. For more information on ICOE or to register, please visit the website.
