Most research and monitoring for marine energy devices has sought to understand effects that will drive permitting (consenting) and licensing decisions for large (grid-scale) machines. However, we know that many near term and likely long term uses of marine energy will be to power remote coastal and island communities, and for power at sea for offshore aquaculture, ocean observations and navigation markers, and other uses.
Please join Ocean Energy Systems – Environmental and ORJIP to explore what level of environmental effects might be expected from smaller scale (off-grid) wave, tidal, and other marine energy devices, and to determine what additional information is needed to streamline permitting for these devices.
We will explore these issues through 4 cases that include:
- Providing power for a remote coastal community - tidal
- Providing power for an island - wave
- Powering aquaculture operations
- Powering offshore ocean observations
This workshop will be held at the 10th International Conference on Ocean Energy (ICOE 2024).
