“…Key issues for bioenergy include potential competition with food production and use of water resources (e.g., Koh and Ghazoul, 2008; see Sections 2.5.7.4 and 9.3.4.4). Despite numerous prototype installations and a few small commercial projects, tidal and wave power technologies are still at a relatively early stage of development, therefore their potential impacts and risks are yet rather poorly understood (Westwood, 2007;Güney and Kaygusuz, 2010;Langhamer et al, 2010;Shields et al, 2011). Coq and Paltseva, 2009;Giroux, 2010;Toft et al, 2010;Lacher and Kumetat, 2010).…”

“…This WEC technology is currently used for offshore experiments in Lysekil on the west coast of Sweden, and the experimental research has progressed for more than ten years [33], including studies on environmental aspects of wave energy conversion. These studies revealed very limited negative impacts of the UU-WECs to the marine environment e.g., [37,38]. Instead, positive effects, such as artificial reefs, were observed [37,38].…”

“…Although these techniques are generally not as far developed yet, it is likely that wave power will become at least as important as wind and hydropower [17]. The many different proposals and principles for wave energy conversion may be classified in several ways.…”
