thermal energy

generation of electricity from thermal/ hydraulic/nuclear energy

– Ocean thermal energy conversion, which uses the temperature difference between cooler deep ocean waters and warmer shallow or surface ocean waters to run a heat engine could be a feasible option for the EU's overseas territories in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean.

70. Notes the potential of offshore wind, tidal, wave and ocean thermal energy, as well as of the conventional offshore energy sector, to generate sustainable jobs in coastal regions, reduce emissions and contribute to the EU’s medium and long-term energy targets; highlights the fact that significant investment in redeveloping grid connections and in transmission capacity will be required to exploit this potential;

16. Highlights the need to focus on environmental aspects and on improving the quality of the marine environment in order to safeguard a sustainable blue economy with the aim of boosting its growth and employment potential, specifically in emerging renewables sectors such as the offshore wind energy sector by reshaping the relevant ports and guaranteeing that for the specialised offshore shipping sector the deeply concerning skills gap in the offshore wind industry is addressed urgently; urges in this regard the Commission and the Member States to take measures to resolve this skills shortage; and stresses the importance of this also f ...[+++]or ocean energy, such as tidal, wave, osmotic and ocean thermal energy and energy produced by ocean currents;
