OOAE 2009 is organizing a specialty Symposium entitled “Ocean Renewable Energy.” This is the third year that a specialty symposium
is being organized to specifically focus on ocean renewable energy
developments and challenges. Earlier, this topic was included as part
of the OE Symposium. There is a growing worldwide demand to increase the
supply of renewable energy and the world’s oceans offer the resources
to meet these goals. However, to exploit the potentials offered by ocean
energy resources, various regulatory and technology challenges must be
addressed by the engineering and scientific communities. The objective
of this Symposium is to provide a forum for the presentation of relevant
information and views on regulatory and technology issues to enhance the
exploitation of ocean renewable energy resources.
In general, the Symposium will cover all related ocean renewable energy
issues of interest to the ocean industry and regulatory agencies. Typical
topics will address:
- Offshore energy resource policies and regulatory issues
- Offshore wave energy technologies
- Offshore wind energy technologies
- Offshore current energy technologies
- Ocean thermal energy conversion
- Economic risk assessment of offshore energy projects
- Offshore hydrogen generation
- Offshore energy project environmental issues
