Report Summary
Hydrokinetic and Ocean Energy
Renewable Power Generation from Ocean Wave, Tidal Stream, River Hydrokinetic, Ocean Current, and Ocean Thermal
Technologies
The earth is the water planet, so it should come as no great surprise that hydroelectricity has been the world's most popular
renewable energy source. Yet the largest water power source of all ' the ocean that covers three-quarters of the planet ' has yet to be
tapped in any major way for power generation.
This Pike Research report reviews five main types of marine and hydrokinetic technologies: ocean wave, tidal stream, river
hydrokinetic, ocean current and ocean thermal resources. On the verge of widespread commercialization, with the U.K., U.S., and
Canada in the lead, this suite of marine renewable resources is poised for major growth over the next five years, and could
collectively capture as much as 10 or even 15 percent of the global electricity market by 2030. Readers will learn about the market
leaders in each marine renewable segment, and the make-or-break issues facing more than 100 companies seeking to gain
competitive advantage in the world's hottest new renewable energy sector.
In addition to analyzing the suitable applications and viability of each of the five technologies, the report examines market conditions
for ocean and river hydrokinetic energy around the world, including key drivers of industry development as well as regulatory issues
and government incentives and subsidies. Implementation issues and challenges are also analyzed, including technology
standardization issues, site permitting, grid interconnection, and power transmission and distribution issues. Detailed market
forecasts for each of the five technologies are provided for each major region of the world, and key industry players are profiled
including an assessment of their relative strengths and weaknesses within the market.
Key questions addressed:
Why haven't these abundant renewable resources been commercially developed'How do each of the five technologies profiled
compare to each other ' as well as current market favorites, such as solar and wind power'What are the key advantages of each of
these technologies ' and their shortcomings'Which companies in each of the five segments are poised to be market leaders'Which
countries are the current best markets for which technologies ' and why'
Who needs this report'
Hydrokinetic and ocean energy technology companies and equipment manufacturersRenewable energy project developersPrivate
sector investors looking for the next big renewable energy opportunityAdvocates of the 'green economy', looking to create jobs
through renewable energy developmentPolicymakers looking to expand renewable energy supplies to meet climate change and
economic development goalsComponent manufacturers and other supply chain firms and organizations looking to expand markets for
their products and servicesUniversities, NGOs, and research organizations with expertise transferable to the emerging marine
renewable industryUtilities and large industries looking to develop carbon-free energy supply strategies or integrate local indigenous
resources into their supply portfolios
