Educational Video Explains How Marine Energy Is Made, Why It Is Important, and What Work Still Needs To Be Done
In the video, Kilcher explains that wave energy, in particular, is a massive resource that exists along the entire U.S. coastline but especially along the West Coast. “And some of the things that make these technologies particularly exciting is they’re very forecastable and predictable,” he says. “We have satellites that are constantly measuring the waves, so we can see the waves propagating across the ocean. We know where they’re going to go.
As Kilcher said, marine energy is also highly predictable. And it can complement other renewable energy sources, generating more power at night and during the winter, when others tend to wane. But one of marine energy’s greatest benefits is its potential to provide clean energy for remote and rural communities located far from any power grid. Out in the deep ocean, for example, marine energy could recharge batteries for observation technologies that look for signs of dangerous tropical storms.
Desalination technologies can be especially valuable for island nations that have limited access to clean drinking water or reduced supplies as a result of a natural disaster. To further address these needs, NREL researchers recently. Michael Lawson, a senior researcher and manager for NREL’s water power group, is optimistic about marine energy’s future. “This is a really exciting time to be a researcher in marine energy,” he says in a new NREL video about the current and future potential for these budding technologies.

Why wait for 2050? Methane emissions can be cut this decade, expert claims - Plugged In'Plugged In' host Neil Chatterjee and energy reporter Breanne Deppisch welcome trading and emissions expert Georges Tijbosch to talk about practical steps that can be taken to fight climate change — including reducing methane gas emissions within this decade. Tijbosch, the CEO of MiQ says the Biden administration's goals for the energy transition will take time to achieve, but his nonprofit's work of reducing emissions and certifying gas is a large step forward. He added that combatting the energy crisis comes down to three things: Energy sustainability, affordability, and security of the supply.
