Marine Renewable Energy Creation

Creation of new low-carbon energy sources from natural marine resources. Includes: 1) Offshore renewable energy development whereby energy is produced from natural marine resources that are constantly renewed or replaced (e.g., offshore wind energy development, ocean thermal energy conversion); and 2) Marine low or zero-emissions technologies to control carbon emissions from marine industries (e.g. zero or near-zero GHG emission technologies and fuels for maritime industry).

These types of interventions pose a range of risks and challenges. Resources exist to help identify and address these.
