Busan
Marine Energy Integrated into Port Infrastructure (South Korea)
Busan, South Korea
Highlight
Integrates tidal and wave energy into port infrastructure for local renewable power and coastal resilience.
Extended description
Busan is developing pilot approaches to integrate marine renewable energy, particularly tidal and wave power, into its port infrastructure. By generating renewable electricity directly at the port, it aims to cut emissions from port operations, improve local energy resilience and make use of the coastal setting. It illustrates how ports can become sites of clean marine-energy generation as part of the blue economy.
