DESCRIPTION: The Refocus Marine Renewable Energy Report presents detailed market forecasts and analysis for the 2005?2009 period. Forecasts show Capex and capacity, and are split by component and country. Future markets for marine renewables cabling, foundations and turbines are also given.

The modelling process looks at each renewable energy project on an individual basis, carefully assessing its viability and timescale in light of market forces such as governmental policy, financing, supply and demand of contractors etc. With this methodology DWL can accurately forecast when future expenditure and installations will occur.

Included in this report
* A development history of each sector of the marine energy market
* The market drivers of the marine renewables industry are fully explained, from government renewables targets, through future energy supply, to climate change
* The technologies of each sector are discussed, profiled, and forecasts given for t
