Abstract
Our seas and oceans have the potential to become important sources of clean energy. Marine renewable energy, which includes both offshore wind and ocean energy (wave and tidal energy), presents the EU with an opportunity to generate economic growth and jobs, enhance the security of its energy supply and boost competitiveness through technological innovation. Following the 2008 Communication on offshore wind energy (European Commision 2008), the European Commission (EC) considered the potential of the ocean energy sector to contribute to the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy (European Commision 2010) as well EU’s long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. It also looked over the horizon at this promising new technology (Blue Growth) and outlines an action plan to help unlock its potential.
