Powering the Blue Economy – Global is establishing an international hub for knowledge sharing, coordination, collaboration, and capacity building related to the energy needs of ocean economies.
We are convening practitioners in the marine energy space to leverage solutions for a sustainable blue economy. Marine energy is the generation of energy from ocean waves, currents, tides, or gradients and has a unique ability to provide reliable renewable power for coastal and offshore industries as well as coastal and islanded communities. However, marine energy remains an emerging technology space which requires diverse perspectives and global input to fully develop. The goal of this programme is to share knowledge and lessons learned on marine energy technology development and to empower both blue economy industry and coastal community end users to understand and have access to marine renewable energy resources to make their businesses and communities more resilient and sustainable.
