ABSTRACT

Marine renewable energy (MRE) offers a chance to use the world’s seas’ immense and untapped capacity to fulfil rising energy demand. As fossil fuels become unsustainable, MRE provides a clean, renewable option for low-carbon energy. This study discusses wave, tidal, ocean thermal, and salinity gradient MRE and their conversion methods. MRE development’s environmental implications, problems, and opportunities are also covered. While technical and environmental obstacles remain, MRE technology investment and innovation might help mitigate climate change and secure a sustainable energy future, according to the report.
