Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines positioned in the ocean, that convert wind ...

Scientists identify vast renewable energy potential in ocean currents, providing reliable and sustainable solutions for growing global electricity demands. (CREDIT: CC BY-SA 4.0) ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida’s East ...

It took him years to develop Sitkana’s current prototype, the Chinook 3.0. The small tidal turbine has a few key differences compared to other tidal generation designs.

Over the past decade, IHI Corporation has been developing “Kairyu,” a 100-kilowatt-class generator that can harness the power of ocean currents. In February, the Tokyo-based engineering firm ...

A tidal turbine off Scotland’s coast hits 6.5 years underwater, proving tidal energy’s durability and boosting hopes for more clean ocean power projects.

In late June and early July 2025, a rumor began to spread online that Norway had installed marine-life friendly, underwater turbines that "harness power from ocean currents" for energy production.

Marine energy is much more predictable and reliable than many other forms of renewable energy because unlike the sun and wind, which regularly do not produce electricity, ocean currents never stop ...
