分析和咨询公司Astute Analytica在其最新报告中发现，2022年全球波浪和潮汐能市场价值为4.7781亿美元，预计到2031年将产生约100亿美元的收入，预测期内复合年增长率为43%。
该报告重点关注当前和预计的能源总产能、政府投资、细分分析、挑战、竞争格局和市场趋势，强调波浪能和潮汐能作为全球可再生能源组合的关键组成部分的潜力。
根据分析，截至2021，全球波浪能和潮汐能装机容量约为530 MW，预计2023年至2031年的复合年增长率约为43%，到2031年，总装机容量将超过2238 MW。这一增长是由技术进步、投资增加和促进采用可再生能源的有利政策推动的。
报告指出，欧盟(EU)根据“地平线欧洲计划”(Horizon Europe program)为2021至2027年间的波浪能和潮汐能项目拨款3亿欧元，重点放在研究、创新和市场吸收上，而美国能源部(DOE)近年来为波浪能和潮能项目提供了超过1亿美元的资金，计划进一步支持研发计划。相关文章
此外，英国政府已拨出1.6亿英镑用于开发潮汐能和波浪能项目，目标是到2030年，该国30%的电力来自海上可再生能源，澳大利亚可再生能源署(ARENA)已在包括波浪能和潮汐能在内的各种海洋能项目上投资超过5000万澳元。
尽管欧洲海洋能源公司(OEE)最近发布了一份报告，警告欧洲在海洋能源领域的行业领先地位正面临越来越大的风险，但Astute Analytica在其分析中发现，欧洲以46%的收入领先于波浪和潮汐能市场。
“欧洲在波浪和潮汐能市场的领先地位可归因于其对可再生能源的坚定承诺、重要的沿海地区以及主要行业参与者的存在。该地区目前的装机容量约为245兆瓦，预计到2030年将超过2200兆瓦，继续引领全球市场报告指出，rnments、关键行业参与者的存在以及有希望的波浪能和潮汐能生产地点将确保该地区在可再生能源领域的持续增长和成功”。
报告中确定的几个主要参与者都在欧洲，包括SIMEC Atlantis Energy(英国)、Orbital Marine Power(英国)，Tidal Lagoon Power(UK)、OpenHydro(法国)、Andritz Hydro Hammerfest(挪威)、Minesto(瑞典)和Ocean Energy Europe(比利时)。
Global wave and tidal energy market poised to reach $10 bln by 2031, report shows
Global wave and tidal energy market was valued at $477.81 million in 2022 and is projected to generate a revenue of around $10 billion by 2031 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43% during the forecast period, analytics and advisory company Astute Analytica found in its latest report.
The report focuses on the current and projected total energy production capacity, government investments, segmental analysis, challenges, competitive landscape, and market trends, highlighting the potential of wave and tidal energy as a critical component of the global renewable energy mix.
According to the analysis, as of 2021, the global installed capacity for wave and tidal energy was approximately 530 MW and is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 43% from 2023 to 2031, reaching a total installed capacity of over 2,238 MW by 2031. This growth is driven by technological advancements, increased investments, and favourable policies to promote the adoption of renewable energy sources.
The report notes that the European Union (EU) has allocated €300 million for wave and tidal energy projects between 2021 and 2027 under the Horizon Europe program, focusing on research, innovation, and market uptake while the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has provided more than $100 million in funding for wave and tidal energy projects in recent years, with plans to further support research and development initiatives.Related Article
Furthermore, the UK government has set aside £160 million for the development of tidal and wave energy projects, aiming to generate 30% of the country’s electricity from offshore renewable sources by 2030 and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has invested over AUD 50 million in various marine energy projects, including wave and tidal power.
While Ocean Energy Europe (OEE) recently published a report warning that Europe’s industrial leadership in ocean energy is increasingly at risk, Astute Analytica found in its analysis that Europe was leading the wave and tidal energy market with 46% revenue.
“Europe’s leadership in the wave and tidal energy market can be attributed to its strong commitment to renewable energy sources, significant coastal area, and the presence of major industry players. With a current installed capacity of approximately 245 MW and an expected capacity of over 2,200 MW by 2030, the region continues to lead the global market. The active involvement of European governments, the presence of key industry players, and promising locations for wave and tidal energy production will ensure the region’s continued growth and success in the renewable energy landscape”, the report stated.
Several leading key players identified in the report are based in Europe, including SIMEC Atlantis Energy (UK), Orbital Marine Power (UK), Tidal Lagoon Power (UK), OpenHydro (France), Andritz Hydro Hammerfest (Norway), Minesto (Sweden), and Ocean Energy Europe (Belgium).
