Marine energy has emerged as a promising frontier in our transition towards sustainable and resilient energy systems. As Arctic regions face increasing pressure to enhance energy security and to support sustainable economic development, ocean-based energy solutions – such as wave energy, tidal power, ocean current technologies, and even offshore wind – offer both opportunities and challenges in equal measure which are shaped by the North’s unique environments.

As part of an ongoing series on Renewable Energy in the Arctic, this webinar seeks to explore marine-based renewable energy systems and innovations. By bringing together perspectives from academia, engineering, and industry, the discussion aims to examine how marine renewables can be leveraged in the Arctic to contribute to energy transitions while addressing ecological sensitivities and community needs.

By highlighting diverse regional perspectives and expertise,the webinar seeks to highlight innovative developments and foster knowledge exchange to identify pathways for responsible marine renewable energy system applications.
