“…[G]lobal installed ocean energy power compared with the previous year, surpassing 25 MW. Tidal current deployments increased to more than 17 MW and wave energy deployments reached 8 MW. The remainder of the capacity comes from ocean thermal energy conversion and salinity gradient…[a just-released annual review of the industry includes] waves, tidal range, tidal currents, ocean currents, ocean thermal energy conversion and salinity gradients…[It details achievements and progress in many key tasks for the industry, including three that have been completed. Two new tasks were initiated] in 2017: establishing a common international stage gate metrics framework to be used by technology developers, investors and funders, and validating numerical tools for tidal energy…[The report also highlights progress in] Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, the European Commission, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Monaco, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the U.S…” click here for more
