Marine energy: domestic consumption France 2016

This statistic represents the evolution of primary hydrokinetic, wave and tidal energy production in France from 2006 to 2016. It appears that in 2015, about 42 kilotons of oil energy equivalent of ocean currents, waves and tides were produced in France.

Supplementary notes

* kilotons of oil equivalent (ktep): unit of measure of the energy used to compare the energies between them. This is the energy produced by burning a ton of average oil, which is about 11,600 kWh.

There are several types of marine energy, including hydrokinetic energy, wave energy and tidal power.
wave energy or wave energy refers to energy production from waves, that is to say from successive waves born from the effect of wind on the surface of the sea and sometimes spread over very long distances. There are different devices to exploit this energy.
