Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy

Marine and hydrokinetic energy harnesses natural movement of water—such as ocean tides, currents, and waves—to generate electricity. Unlike traditional wind or solar power, this form of energy taps into the vast, consistent energy sources in the world's oceans and rivers. Tidal energy uses the rise and fall of tides, while wave and current energy extract power from the motion of water itself. These technologies aim to provide a renewable, predictable, and environmentally friendly way to produce clean energy, helping reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change.
