Analysis for the Development of Marine Renewable Energy Industry in China

Abstract

Marine renewable energy is a new type of energy that is inexhaustible, clean, low-carbon and renewable. China is rich in marine renewable energy. It is of great significance to promote the development of marine renewable energy industry since it can strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, facilitate the implementation of the “Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality” strategy, ensure energy security, and drive the development of the marine economy. Europe, the United States and other countries attach great importance to the development of the marine renewable energy industry. In recent years, they have constantly increased financial investment and policy support for this industry, and boosted its integrated development together with the blue economy including offshore wind power and marine aquaculture, which served as an important reference for China to develop the marine renewable energy industry. China’s marine renewable energy industry is at the critical stage of industrialization, and it is necessary to accelerate related work such as policy support, technology R&D, and scale application, so as to lay the foundation for driving our marine renewable energy industry to the growth stage.
