Malaysia is promoting the renewable energy to alleviate the
high dependency on fossil fuel. A number of renewable resources
have been used to generate the electricity including the solar
photovoltaic, biogas, biomass, mini hydro and solid waste. The
utilisation of these renewable resources is able to contribute 1% of
the annual electricity generation in 2011.The contribution of
renewable energy can reach 16.5 GW h or 13% of the total power
generation by 2030 [17]. Biomass and biogas are expected to be
the main contributors to the projected power generation. The
previous studies of renewable energy were mainly focused on the
aforementioned sources in Malaysia [18–21].Therefore,this
paper attempts to review the potential of ocean renewable energy as an alternative source supplying renewable energies to Malaysia. It aims to promote ocean renewable energy to the public,
industrial stakeholders and local authorities. It is an important
source of renewable energy and industrial opportunity for a
sustainable future.
