This study analyses status quo of international and national energy and its policies, as well as its development trends. The potential and feasibility of marine renewable energy in Taiwan are also discussed. Finally, the development strategies are drawn up in order to contribute to sustainable use of energy. The results are summarized as follows:
1. The most obvious character of renewable energy is that the energy can be supplied unfailingly. It is not only a kind of “sustainable energy”, but a kind of “clean energy”. However, the most serious problem is that facilities used in transporting, translating, storing and utilizing processes cost a lot. The supplying ratio of energy is limited to its dispersal, unsteadiness, small-scale.
2. The marine renewable energy includes tidal energy, wave energy, ocean current energy and thermoelectricity. Its characters are: 1) energy reserves are abundant, but energy unit is small, 2) renewability, 3) contrary to thermoelectricity and current energy, tidal energy and wave energy are not steady, 4) all of them are clean energy.
3. The Potential areas to develop marine renewable energy in Taiwan are: 1) tidal energy adequately exploited at the water around Kinmen and Matsu, 2) wave energy adequately exploited at the waters around the northern Taiwan and offshore islands, 3) ocean current energy adequately exploited at the waters around Green Island and Suiou and 4) thermoelectricity adequately exploited at the waters around the eastern Taiwan.
4. The results of the SWOT analysis show: 1) internal strengths are to have the high-speed and great-quantity Kuroshio passing through eastern Taiwan water, huge tide range at offshore island, abundant wave energy at the northern and eastern Taiwan and huge temperature difference between surface and bottom layer of water around the eastern Taiwan, 2) internal weaknesses include immature technology, high maintenance fee, vulnerability of coast-based facilities and to be still at the evaluation stage, 3) external opportunities are to develop tidal energy at the low-utilized fishing ports, to cooperate with precision machinery industry to develop wave energy and to industrialize utilization of marine deep water and 4) external threats include a shortage of relevant data and personnel and lack of political supports.
5. The strategies to develop marine renewable energy are: 1) to promote the position of the energy, 2) to make preferential and subsidized polices, 3) to legislate the relevant law and decrees of the energy and 4) to popularize the promotion education and personnel training.
Key Words: Marine renewable energy, SWOT, tidal energy, wave energy, ocean current energy, thermoelectricity
