2nd International Conference on Ocean Energy (ICOE 2008)

ICOE 2008 was organised by EDP and Ifremer under the high patronage of Jean-Louis Borloo, Minister of State, Minister for Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and Town and Country Planning, and partnership of the European Ocean Energy Association (EU-OEA) and the International Energy Agency - Ocean Energy Systems (IEA-OES).

This conference focused on marine renewable energy: waves, currents (tidal or ocean), tidal energy, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), salinity gradient, offshore wind and biomass.

ICOE 2008 aimed to gather the ocean energy stakeholders: technology developers, engineers and scientists, energy politicians and planners and other sea users.

The encounter received 400 participants from twenty countries (France, Europe and international).
