Ocean energy is an emerging technology that uses the power of ocean currents, waves, tides, and salinity gradient to create renewable energy. Research areas of focus include:

  • Ocean current and thermal systems
  • Cold, deep ocean water-based air-conditioning
  • Underwater hydrogen generation and storage
  • Environmental impact and mitigation

Tapping ocean energy resources will reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
