Changing Tides - Developing Best Practices for the Tidal Energy Industry - Announcement Poster
Sue Barr, OpenHydro
1900-2030: 110 Kane Hall
The ocean energy industry has emerged over the past five years, focusing on converting energy from waves and tides into electricity. Ms. Barr will
describe the latest technologies, their potential environmental impacts and how stakeholders, regulators and developers can work together to ensure the
success of ocean energy projects while protecting marine resources. Barr says the industry often overlooks the key areas of environmental assessment,
licensing and monitoring in favor of issues perceived as more important, such as energy supply chain and financing mechanisms. She notes, however, that
regulatory and environmental monitoring can significantly affect the financial outcome of an ocean energy project.
This session is open to the general public.
