29、ands and other remote communities have a strong symbiosis and potential to integrate a“blue economy”-an ecosystem where energy harnessed from the oceans can support the decarbonisation of key marine activities such as shipping,power generation,cooling,aquaculture and water desalination(IRENA,2020b).
30、The need to harness this marine potential is mostly the result of a scarcity of inland space in which to deploy onshore renewables,as well as the high costs of fossil fuel imports and electricity generation.As well as providing new project development spaces,the deployment of ocean energy technologi
31、es can facilitate new revenue streams and higher cash flows for territories,helping to reduce the levelised cost of electricity(LCOE)in these locations.The business case for ocean energy can be attributed to its contribution to climate change mitigation,the creation of new employment opportunities,a

34、CHNOLOGIES8New renewable energy technologies must be brought to market to balance grids powered by an increasing amount of low-cost variable renewable energy.Ocean energy can complement wind and solar power,bringing much-needed flexibility to the grid and securing the energy supply.Tidal stream tech
35、nologies capture power from tidal currents and are influenced by the established cycles of the moon,sun and Earth,allowing greater predictability.Wave energy is complementary to wind energy;when the wind stops,wave energy continues to produce power(IRENA,2021).Ocean energy can create 680 000 direct
36、jobs globally by 2050(OES and IEA,2017).Many of these jobs will be local and situated close to the corresponding resource,and may serve to support coastal communities that have been engaged historically in the shipbuilding,and oil and gas industries.To reach appropriate volumes and facilitate cost r
37、eductions-at industrial deployment scale-ocean energy will need to develop utility-scale projects connected to main electricity grids.Some secondary markets will still be of interest-for example,for specific designs such as aquaculture,oil and gas decarbonisation,and hydrogen production.However,thes
38、e alternative applications will not be enough to provide the necessary capacity to support a sustainable energy transition within a short time horizon.Co-location with other renewable energy sources,such as offshore wind or floating photovoltaic(PV)systems,can also be applied to optimise the power p
39、roduction profile and the use of marine space(ETIP Ocean,2019).To reap the benefits of ocean energy,investments must be scaled up.Similarly to how wind and solar energy were brought to market,ocean energy needs clear signals from governments to provide visibility about the future market to private i
