Hydrokinetic marine energy resources, as well as tidal and wave technology, are particularly well poised to address the Mediterranean’s future power needs. With applications varying from power sector, heavy industry, and hydrogen production, to removing carbon dioxide from the air through direct carbon capture, reuse and geologic storage, these technologies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions that renewable technologies and carbon offsets alone cannot address. This panel will examine the prospects for developing and deploying such technologies at scale. Special attention will be paid to how these cutting-edge technologies impact the local marine environment.
