Why Choose This Course

The Marine Renewable Energy training course provides energy, environmental and project professionals with structured technical knowledge of marine energy technologies and their practical development. It covers offshore wind, wave and tidal energy, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion and salinity gradient power. Delegates examine how these technologies operate and how marine renewable energy projects progress from site assessment and feasibility evaluation to development. The course also addresses regulatory frameworks, financing, environmental management and stakeholder engagement.

Oceans are among the planet’s most significant untapped energy resources, with marine technologies moving rapidly from experimental concepts towards commercial reality. As the transition to clean energy accelerates, professionals increasingly need to understand these technologies and the processes used to develop projects. Delegates gain a technically grounded understanding of assessment tools, environmental impacts, mitigation strategies and the frameworks governing marine energy development. This knowledge and project development capability enable professionals to contribute meaningfully to the clean energy transition.

This Marine Renewable Energy training course will highlight:
  • Understanding offshore wind, wave and tidal energy technologies
  • Exploring Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion and salinity gradient power
  • Applying site assessment and project feasibility tools
  • Evaluating environmental impacts and mitigation strategies
  • Understanding project development and financing frameworks
  • Addressing regulatory requirements and stakeholder engagement

Learning Approach

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The Marine Renewable Energy Course uses a structured, technology-by-technology learning format, advancing from the fundamentals of marine energy to detailed exploration of individual technologies, feasibility assessment, and project development practice. Each day addresses a separate marine energy domain — creating a comprehensive and interconnected view of the entire marine renewable energy landscape.

Case examples, feasibility assessment activities, and stakeholder engagement discussions are incorporated throughout — enabling delegates to relate technical knowledge to the practical realities of developing marine energy projects.

Delivery approaches include:

  • Instructor-led sessions addressing marine energy technology principles, environmental considerations, and the clean energy transition context
  • Offshore wind technology workshops exploring site assessment, planning, design, and environmental impact management
  • Wave and tidal energy sessions addressing resource assessment, feasibility evaluation, and environmental mitigation strategies
  • Financing and investment discussions exploring how marine energy projects are structured and financed
  • Stakeholder engagement workshops building practical strategies for community involvement and public acceptance

Frequently Asked Questions

You will learn about strategies, technologies, and planning for sustainable ocean-based power. The course focuses on how these three areas relate to marine renewable energy. It provides a structured view of the considerations involved in developing power from ocean resources.

The Marine Renewable Energy training course provides energy, environmental and project professionals with structured technical knowledge of marine energy technologies and their practical development. It covers offshore wind, wave and tidal energy, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion and salinity gradient power. Key topics include Introduction to Marine Renewable Energy, Marine Wind Energy, Marine Wave and Tidal Energy and Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) and Salinity Gradient Energy.

Key outcomes of this course include: describe the different marine renewable energy sources, their potential, and the part they play in the transition to clean energy; assess the environmental, economic, and social advantages of developing marine renewable energy; outline offshore wind energy principles and technologies and evaluate site, planning, and design factors.

The course is framed around the wider marine renewable energy field rather than a single named technology. Its subtitle refers broadly to technologies alongside strategies and planning for ocean-based power. No individual technology types are specified in the available course content.

The Marine Renewable Energy training course begins with an overview of marine energy resources and the principles governing their conversion, covering the characteristics and assessment of wave, tidal, ocean thermal and salinity-gradient resources. The programme covers Introduction to Marine Renewable Energy, Marine Wind Energy, Marine Wave and Tidal Energy, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) and Salinity Gradient Energy and Project Development and Stakeholder Engagement.

Yes, the course explicitly focuses on both marine renewable energy technologies and strategic planning. It treats technology as one part of a wider approach to sustainable ocean-based power. The course subtitle also identifies strategies as a central area of study.

This course is designed for Marine Renewable Energy Engineers, Offshore Energy Engineers, Ocean Engineers, Marine Engineers, Electrical Engineers and Mechanical Engineers. Delegates examine how these technologies operate and how marine renewable energy projects progress from site assessment and feasibility evaluation to development.

Planning is presented as one of the course’s three core themes, together with strategies and technologies. This indicates that sustainable ocean-based power is considered in terms of how it is planned as well as the technologies involved. The available material does not provide details of particular planning frameworks or processes.
