Marine Energy

Naturally abundant: Marine renewable energy

With extensive coastal and inland waters, Canada has the ideal environment for tapping the potential of marine renewable energy.

Our Marine Energy Technology (MET) team actively supports the development of marine energy technologies across the country. Working closely with industry, other government departments and academia, we address cross-cutting marine energy issues and guide technologies toward market success. By doing so, we help fulfill NRCan’s vision of improving Canadian quality of life through the use of sustainable resources.
