Marine Renewable Energy: Opportunities, Challenges and Potential for Integration in Aquaculture Farms
Journal Title: International Journal of Oceanography & Aquaculture - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
All European strategies on energy agree that Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) will play an important role mitigating problems associated to the greenhouse emissions and air pollution, as well as strengthening the security of energy supply. Besides this, MRE also presents a high potential for offshore and remote facilities, such as offshore aquaculture farms. This manuscript presents the potential of MRE and briefly describes some of the technologies available to harness it, with a special focus in wave energy harvesting. The present challenges and opportunities are discussed, namely the integration of MRE as a source of energy for offshore aquaculture farms.
