Marine Energy : EMEC: European Marine Energy Centre
http://www.emec.org.uk/marine-energy
EMEC: European Marine Energy Centre. Marine energy – also referred to as ocean energy, ocean power and marine hydrokinetic energy (MHK) – encompasses various means through which energy can be harnessed from our oceans. There are various types of marine energy, including wave, tidal stream, tidal range and offshore wind, as well as ocean thermal, ocean current, run-of-river and salinity. What is wave energy? The best wave resources occur in areas where strong winds have travelled over long distances. ...
