2024 State of the Science Report - Chapter 1: Marine Renewable Energy and Ocean Energy Systems

Abstract

This introductory chapter provides background on the benefits of marine renewable energy (MRE), the importance of measuring environmental interactions for all deployed devices, and the stressor-receptor framework. Chapter 1 also summarizes the work of OES-Environmental and introduces ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) as an MRE source that has not been addressed in previous OES-Environmental work.
