School of Energy and Environment
One-day Workshop* on
Marine Energy Technology & Regional Status
13 December 2011 (Tuesday)
Fishermen, seamen, yachts people and coastal communities everywhere are familiar with the force of tides,
currents and waves. The global need for reliable, clean and renewable energy resources has led to increasing
international effort to capture the seas' kinetic energy for electricity generation with very rapid advances in marine
energy technology achieved in the last ten years.
Organised by the School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong, this Workshop, a prelude to
the 2011 Asia Pacific Coasts Conference here in Hong Kong, will give an up-to-date technology and country
status account of marine energy research and installations in the SE Asia region. Marine Energy Technology
progress will be reviewed in terms of worldwide developments and the challenges for the industry's
commercialisation. The scope for collaborative projects, research & development, demonstration and deployment
and the career potential will all be discussed. The topics will be presented by leading regional & international
practitioners and researchers.
This is a region of long coastlines and strong marine energy resource but also where energy supply must meet
expanding development needs. It is also where the focus on clean and sustainable energy generation is the target
for low-carbon communities.
