Exploring Ways to Use Ocean Energy

Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface. As the world's largest solar collectors, oceans generate thermal energy from the sun. They also produce mechanical energy from the tides and waves. Even though the sun affects all ocean activity, the gravitational pull of the moon primarily drives the tides, and the wind powers the ocean waves.

Here you can explore the different types of ocean energy:

• Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion
• Tidal Power
• Wave Power.
