The Researchers at the Hyderabad-based Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) have developed the Integrated Ocean Energy Atlas.
It maps sites along India’s coastline with the potential to generate energy from blue renewable sources like tidal waves and currents.
It provides estimated values of renewable energy that can be generated from either individual or integrated blue renewable sources at potential sites along the coast.
Indian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) holds the potential to generate about 9.2 lakh terawatt hours (TWh) from multiple blue renewable energy sources.
India has a vast coastline of over 7,000 km that offers ample scope for the energy generation.
