energyWETO World Energy Transitions Outlook 51 OCEAN ENERGY A CLEAN,PREDICTABLE AND SECURE SOURCE OF ENERGYRecent global crises have made it clear that a rapid energy transition is now more relevant than ever.Current geopolitical developments have resulted in uncertainty over the security of energy supply globally.Even as countries around the world are recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic,they face yet another challenge to ensure that the basic needs of their citizens are fulfilled.The impacts of climate change are also becoming more visible,with prolonged heatwaves,droughts,wildfires and storms harming people and ecosystems across the planet.Providing affordable energy to citizens and staying on a path to limit global temperature rise to within 1.5 degrees Celsius(C)of pre-industrial levels requires a rapid shift away from a centralised energy system that is highly dependent on fossil fuels.Orbital Marine PowerSCALING UP INVESTMENT IN OCEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES6Ocean energy is one of the technologies that must be scaled up for the energy system to reach full decarbonisation(IRENA,2023).With a global market potential of 350 gigawatts(GW)by 2050(Figure 1)(IRENA,2022),ocean energy can provide clean,local and predictable electricity to coastal countries and island communities around the world.Ocean energy technologies are usually categorised according to the resource they use to generate energy.Tidal stream and wave energy converters are the most mature solutions applicable across different geographies.Additional technologies exist that are able to extract energy from temperature gradients,differences in salinity concentration and the movement of ocean currents(IRENA,2020a).Figures 2 and 3 show global ocean energy potential and deployment,according to the International Renewable Energy Agency(IRENA).Wave29 500 TWhTidal stream1 200 TWhSalinity gradient1 650 TWhOTEC44 000 TWhFigure 2Global ocean energy potentialSource:IRENA(2020a),based on

communities have a strong symbiosis and potential to integrate a“blue economy”-an ecosystem where energy harnessed from the oceans can support the decarbonisation of key marine activities such as shipping,power generation,cooling,aquaculture and water desalination(IRENA,2020b).The need to harness this marine potential is mostly the result of a scarcity of inland space in which to deploy onshore renewables,as well as the high costs of fossil fuel imports and electricity generation.As well as providing new project development spaces,the deployment of ocean energy technologies can facilitate new revenue streams and higher cash flows for territories,helping to reduce the levelised cost of electricity(LCOE)in these locations.The business case for ocean energy can be attributed to its contribution to climate change mitigation,the creation of new employment opportunities,and support for grid resilience(ETIP Ocean,2019).The benefits of ocean energy technologies are summarised in Figure 4.Others13.2 MWTidal barrage521.5 MWWave2.31 MWTidal stream10.6 MWSalinity gradient0.05 TWhOTEC0.23 MWFigure 3Current ocean energy deploymentSource:IRENA(2020a).OceanenergybeneftsProvides

4Benefits of ocean energy technologiesSource:IRENA(2020a).SCALING UP INVESTMENT IN OCEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES8New renewable energy technologies must be brought to market to balance grids powered by an increasing amount of low-cost variable renewable energy.Ocean energy can complement wind and solar power,bringing much-needed flexibility to the grid and securing the energy supply.Tidal stream technologies capture power from tidal currents and are influenced by the established cycles of the moon,sun and Earth,allowing greater predictability.Wave energy is complementary to wind energy;when the wind stops,wave energy continues to produce power(IRENA,2021).Ocean energy can create 680 000 direct jobs globally by 2050(OES and IEA,2017).Many of these jobs will be local and situated close to the corresponding resource,and may serve to support coastal communities that have been engaged historically in the shipbuilding,and oil and gas industries.To reach appropriate volumes and facilitate cost reductions-at industrial deployment scale-ocean energy will need to develop utility-scale projects connected to main electricity grids.Some secondary markets will still be of interest-for example,for specific designs such as aquaculture,oil and gas decarbonisation,and hydrogen production.However,these alternative applications will not be enough to provide the necessary capacity to support a sustainable energy transition within a short time horizon.Co-location with other renewable energy sources,such as offshore wind or floating photovoltaic(PV)systems,can also be applied to optimise the power production profile and the use of marine space(ETIP Ocean,2019).To reap the benefits of ocean energy,investments must be scaled up.Similarly to how wind and solar energy were brought to market,ocean energy needs clear signals from governments to provide visibility about the future market to private investors.This requires coupling a supportive financial framework with a supportive policy framework,as described in this brief.A summary of the key proposed actions and relevant stakeholders required to achieve this objective is presented in Table 1.Table 1Proposed
