Marine Energy

Marine energy or marine power (also sometimes accredit to as ocean energy, ocean power, or marine and hydrokinetic energy) refers to the energy carried by ocean waves, tides, salacity, and ocean temperature differences. The evolution of water in the world's oceans creates a vast store of kinetic energy, or energy in motion. Some of this energy can be exploited to generate electricity to power homes, transport, and industries.

The term marine energy encircles both wave power i.e., power from surface waves, and tidal power i.e., access from the kinetic energy of large bodies of moving water. Offshore wind power is not a form of marine energy, as wind power is derivational from the wind, even if the wind turbines are placed over water.

The oceans have an astounding amount of energy and are close to many if not most evaporated populations. Ocean energy has the potential of providing a consequential amount of new renewable energy around the world.
