Marine energy, also known as ocean energy or marine power, is a form of renewable energy derived from the ocean. It is generated from the energy of ocean waves, tides, salinity, and ocean temperature differences. Marine energy is a relatively new form of energy, and is considered to be a promising source of renewable energy. The potential of marine energy is vast, and it is estimated that the global technical potential of marine energy is around 2 TW. This potential is mainly concentrated in the coastal areas of the world, and is mainly generated from wave and tidal energy. Wave energy is generated from the kinetic energy of the waves, while tidal energy is generated from the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Marine energy is a clean and renewable source of energy, and has the potential to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. It is also a reliable source of energy, as it is not affected by weather conditions. Some of the companies in the marine energy market include Ocean Energy Europe, Marine Energy Wales, Marine Power Systems, and Minesto. Show Less Read more
