Riverine

Capturing energy from river current.

Riverine energy technologies extract the kinetic energy from flowing water in rivers to generate electricity. Although not technically a marine resource, as part of the natural hydrological cycle, water from drainage basins, groundwater springs, and snow melt feed rivers that flow towards lakes, seas, and oceans. This movement of water downstream can be used to generate electricity via turbines or oscillating hydrofoils.
