Webinar
Europe has been a pioneer in the development of ocean energy technologies. The vast majority of global capacity is installed in Europe and most projects around the world use European technology.
However, other countries are catching up. Canada, the US and China are developing their own markets and new domestic champions are starting to emerge. To make the most of its first-mover advantage, both at home and abroad, Europe should act now.
This webinar aims to concretely address this issue by providing useful examples and feedback to policymakers and other stakeholders. IRENA, a global authority on the development of renewable energy, will provide a high-level overview of the state of ocean energy worldwide to set the scene for those unfamiliar with the sector. As the voice of Europe’s ocean energy industry, Ocean Energy Europe will connect EU policy actions with the current successes and future priorities of the sector as it approaches industrialisation.
This will be complemented by specific case studies of current and future projects, which will demonstrate the importance of export markets to maintaining Europe’s technological leadership, for the benefit of the global ocean energy market. Participants will also gain insight into the benefits the sector can bring, both in terms of clean energy and economic growth.
The webinar is aimed at EU decision-makers, national, regional and local government officials, and third-sector stakeholders who have an interest in the challenges and opportunities presented by developing ocean energy at a global level.
