1 The OES Role Supporting the Development of Ocean Energy Jose Luis Villate, TECNALIA OES Chairman

2 OES Vision Intergovernmental collaboration between countries Operating under a framework established by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris. OES was founded by three countries in 2001 and has grown to its present 23 country governments. VISION As the we collaborate internationally to accelerate the viability, uptake and acceptance of ocean energy systems in an environmentally acceptable way 2

3 Sources of Ocean Energy Tidal Rise & Fall Tidal/ocean Currents Waves Salinity Gradient Thermal Gradient OES covers all forms of ocean energy where seawater is the motive power Products can include: electricity, heat, cooling, water (drinking and pressurized), biofuels, chemicals Ocean energy is a nascent but truly international industry 3

4 Present Membership

5 Members and Observers Member countries (23) Countries invited to join (9) + EC 5

6 The Role of the OES Connect Educate Inspire Facilitate Connect organisations and individuals working in the ocean energy sector Educate people globally on the nature of ocean energy systems and the current status on development and deployment Inspire governments, corporations, agencies and individuals to become involved Facilitate education, research, development and deployment of ocean energy systems

7 International Vision for Ocean Energy By 2050 ocean energy will have 337 GW of installed capacity By 2050 ocean energy will have created 1.2 million direct jobs and saved nearly 1 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions 20-page full-colour brochure Facts and figures as well as scenarios to 2050 All forms of ocean energy in proportion to their present status Updated costs figures and iconic figures People, water and energy nexus Simple, contestable scenarios for market growth MARKAL modelling with IEA Modelling Group in Paris 7

17 Ocean Energy Policies 17

18 Conclusions Many countries are faced with the challenge of achieving energy security, environmental protection and economic competitiveness. Ocean energy could contribute to these objectives in the medium to long term, provided that policies, with support mechanisms to stimulate market deployment and RD&D funding, are implemented by their governments. Some countries (USA, UK, Ireland, China ) have implemented support policies and R&D programmes successfully. Other countries offer support for ocean energy RD&D through a range of energy policies. Also several test centres are being created to streamline deployment of devices in the water, seen as a valuable policy measure. The role of the OES in this context has been to promote policies and procedures consistent with the sustainable development and to actively encourage and support the development of networks of participants involved in policy development facilitating networking opportunities OES is further becoming a trusted source of objective information and is being effective in disseminating such information to ocean energy stakeholders, policymakers and the public. 18
