Marine Renewable Energy Sites

Europe / Global: The EnR ATLAS Project at the European Commission has a list of Wave Energy demonstration sites worldwide

Interactive Map of Renewable and Alternative Energy Projects in the UK  shows UK energy renewable projects (including marine) on a google map.

(Another version is also available from the Renewable Energy Association  site, but they have now locked it behind a login/password)

EnergyMap for projects, technologies and companies in Denmark (includes all renewables technologies)

USA: Earth2Tech has maps showing where to find green technologies in the USA. I see no marine energy systems yet, but this front should be opening up pretty soon?

Still in the USA, on the US Department of Energy – Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy site, the Hydrodynamic Testing Facilities Database shows test sites and capabilities for Marine as well as onshore Hydropower systems.

Marine Renewable Energy Resources

Atlas of UK Marine Renewable Energy Resources was commissioned by UK BERR and produced by ABP Marine Environmental Research with the Met Office and Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory.
It shows the distribution of potential wind, wave and tidal energy resources

Assessment of Energy Production Potential from Tidal Streams in the United States produced by the U.S. Department of Energy, in partnership with the Georgia Institute of Technology
