Abstract:
The SETIS magazine aims at delivering timely information and analysis on the state of play of energy technologies, related research and innovation efforts in support of the implementation of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan).The current issue takes a closer look at the development of ocean energy technologies in Europe and worldwide. It examines the current policy drivers at European and International level, and looks at innovation in the sector.
Renowned experts from the wider research and policy community assess the state of the art of ocean energy from various angles: technological, financial and environmental. Routes to market are also explored, including the role of ocean energy in powering islands and remote communities in low-resource areas. International examples provide further insight into the long-term benefits of ocean energy, and on alternative policy approaches for driving its development.
