The oceans have a tremendous amount of energy and are close to many if not most concentrated populations. Many researches show that ocean energy has the potentiality of providing for a substantial amount of new renewable energy around the world. The oceans represent a vast and largely untapped source of energy in the form of fluid flow (currents, waves, and tides--also termed hydrokinetics) and thermal and salinity gradients. There are a number of approaches to extracting energy from the ocean, though most remain in the investigation or demonstration phase.
Sometimes Wind power (offshore) is also included in the list of renewable ocean energies. Source: Wikipedia (All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License) For More Information: |
