Prompted by simple gravitational pulls, the movement of natural flowing water holds the potential for significant clean energy generation worldwide. As with Verdant Power’s Free Flow System, marine energy technologies do not require dams or major civil works and can be invisible from shore, eliminating viewshed disruption issues associated with other forms of energy generation.

The links that follow provide further detail on the potential of marine renewable energy resources around the world, the emerging marine renewable energy industry as a whole, and issues of science and engineering related to the industry.
