Ocean-based renewable energy resources are considered the cornerstone for achieving sustainable blue growth because of their renewability and inexhaustibility. In the context of the growing demand for depleting and environmentally damaging fossil fuels, renewable energy resources provide sustainable solutions to ensure the energy security of a country. Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) resources are often used interchangeably to denote ocean-based resources. However, there are conceptual differences as MRE resources imply seawater's kinetic, potential, chemical or thermal properties. In this regard, the offshore wind falls under wind energy technology as a particular application and biofuels from marine biomass are regarded as a type of bioenergy.
