UKERC Marine (Wave and Tidal Current) Renewable Energy Technology Roadmap

Abstract:

<p>This document is a technology roadmap: it provides a guide for mobilising the wave and tidal energy community in the UK down a deployment pathway towards a target of achieving 2GW installed capacity by 2020.</p> <p>The roadmap is aimed at providing a focused and coherent approach to technology development in the marine sector, whilst taking into account the needs of other stakeholders. The successful implementation of the technology roadmap depends upon a number of complex interactions between commercial, political and technical aspects.</p> <p>Although this roadmap is technically focused it also considers policy, environmental and commercialisation aspects of the marine energy sector, in order to display and put in context these wider influences.</p> <p>The roadmap is aimed at technology developers, project developers, policy makers, government bodies, investors (public and private)
