Hydrokinetic and Ocean Energy

?

Renewable Power Generation from Ocean Wave, Tidal Stream, River Hydrokinetic, Ocean Current,and Ocean Thermal TechnologiesThe marine and hydrokinetic industry is slowly progressing as the technologies are improving, majorenergy companies and utilities are making investments, industry associations are gaining lobbyingpower, and governments complete or update their country-level deployment targets and roadmaps,enact competitive financial incentives, and (in many cases) garner public support. But now theindustry stands at a critical point and must deliver on its promise or risk losing investor interest andpolitical support.There are more than 100 marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) technologies being researched bycompanies and various organizations, including some strong university-industry partnerships.Sophisticated and well-financed testing centers are accelerating R&D activities and, as the focusnow moves to commercialization, are also studying the potential environmental and other impacts ofdeploying hundreds of devices and transmission lines in areas that are frequented by fishermen,transport vessels, and marine life. Countries that have strong marine resources, such as the UnitedKingdom, the United States, Australia, South Korea, and Portugal, have committed to supporting theindustry in some capacity ' with the United Kingdom being the clear leader.This Pike Research report analyzes the global market opportunities to harness marine andhydrokinetic technologies for power generation. The study examines multiple MHK technologiesincluding ocean wave, tidal stream, river hydrokinetic, ocean current, and ocean thermaltechnologies, assessing the relative advantages and disadvantages of the various options. Profilesand SWOT analysis are provided for key industry players and detailed market forecasts for installedcapacity and revenue extend through 2017.Key Questions Addressed:* Which countries will lead in marine and hydrokinetic energy development over the next 6 years 'and why'* How did the global financial crisis and recession affect the marine and hydrokinetic market'* Which companies are leading the pack for developing and deploying wave, tidal, ocean current,
