Offshore renewable energy (ORE) is a key source to achieve this transition that focuses on capturing energy from waves, tidal currents and offshore wind, with technology that will convert energy from these natural elements into usable power for our communities.
Renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, biomass, hydropower, and landfill gas reduce GHG emissions by replacing fossil fuels. Renewables also reduce emissions of conventional air pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, that result from fossil fuel combustion.
For ORE technology to be successful, there needs to be an appreciation of its interaction with the whole energy system, including a thorough understanding of how the device will affect and be affected by the environment it is in, and affect other users of the space, the grid, and end users of the generated power.
