Executive Summary
There is currently no detailed technology research road map for marine renewable energy in existence, although there are several bodies currently doing work in this area, including UKERC, CA-OE and the IEA Ocean Energy Group. In order to avoid duplication of effort and ensure a more coherent and co-ordinated approach, the principle objective of this workshop was to establish a strategy for a common international road-map for
marine renewable energy, that reflects the needs of the community as a whole, but also includes regional/national requirements. The aim of the workshop was to bring together key members of the marine renewable energy community, including academics, industry, policy-makers and funders, to discuss the current status of road-maps in this sector and identify the opportunities for bringing the existing work together into a single road-map to the benefit of the overall sector.
