The tidal energy market was valued at $1.2 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach $8.6 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 21.9% from 2024 to 2033.
There are three methods to harness the power from tides such as tidal stream system, tidal barrage system, and tidal fence system.
Tidal stream systems, also known as tidal current systems or tidal turbines, harness the kinetic energy of moving water similar to underwater wind turbines. These systems consist of turbines placed underwater in areas with strong tidal currents. As the tidal currents flow, they cause the turbines to rotate, generating electricity through a generator connected to the turbine. Tidal stream systems are typically deployed in areas with high tidal flow velocities, such as narrow channels or straits.
A tidal barrage is a dam-like structure built across the mouth of a bay or estuary. It includes sluice gates or turbines that allow water to flow into and out of the bay during tidal cycles. As the tide rises, water is trapped behind the barrage. When the tide falls, the sluice gates or turbines allow water to flow out, driving turbines to generate electricity. Tidal barrages can generate significant amounts of electricity but may have environmental impacts on local ecosystems and navigation routes.
Tidal fence systems are a relatively new concept for harnessing tidal energy. They consist of rows of submerged turbines or other energy-capturing devices arranged in a fence-like structure across a tidal channel. As the tidal currents flow through the channel, they interact with the turbines, causing them to generate electricity. Tidal fence systems can be more flexible in deployment than tidal barrages since they don't require large-scale infrastructure construction across an entire waterway. They can also be designed to minimize environmental impacts.
However, regulatory hurdles pose significant restraints to the widespread adoption of tidal energy. Complex permitting processes, environmental concerns, and regulatory uncertainties often delay or deter the development of tidal projects. Striking a balance between environmental protection and energy development remains a key challenge, requiring close collaboration between industry stakeholders and regulatory bodies to streamline approval processes and mitigate risks.
Despite regulatory challenges, the tidal energy market presents substantial export potential for countries with abundant marine resources. As nations strive to diversify their energy mix and reduce carbon emissions, there is a growing global demand for clean and renewable energy solutions. Tidal energy technologies once matured and proven, can be exported to regions with suitable coastal conditions, providing a sustainable energy source and stimulating economic growth through exports and technology transfer initiatives.
Major players operating in the global tidal energy market include European Marine Energy Centre, Andritz AG, Orbital Marine Power Ltd., Sustainable Marine Energy Ltd., Nova Innovation Ltd., SIMEC Atlantis Energy Ltd, HydroQuest SAS, Verdant Power Inc., Hammerfest Strom AS, and Minesto AB.
Introduction
The tidal energy market harnesses the power of ocean tides to generate electricity, offering a promising avenue for sustainable energy production. Utilizing the gravitational forces between the Earth, moon, and sun, tidal energy systems capture the kinetic energy of tidal currents and the potential energy of tidal height differentials. With its renewable nature and predictability, tidal energy presents a reliable alternative to fossil fuels, contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.There are three methods to harness the power from tides such as tidal stream system, tidal barrage system, and tidal fence system.
