Malaysian Ocean Renewable Energy Symposium 2013 (MORES2013)
Introduction
This website is used as a main website for 1st Malaysian Ocean Renewable Energy Symposium 2013 (MORES2013). The symposium will be held in conjunction with World Oceans Week (WOW’13) celebrations. It aims to increase communication and collaboration within the field of Marine Renewable Energy in Malaysia.
The world energy consumption is always on
the rise. Our continuing dependence on non-renewable/fossil sources
will only aggravate the situation. Several studies have predicted that
if we continue consuming at the current rate, some of these energy
sources will be exhausted within a century or if not a few decades. In
addition, environmental decays from release of pollutants are generating
concern. Therefore, alternative sources of energy must be sought from
sources that are not only renewable but also environmental friendly. The
ocean that covers more than 70% of our planet is a huge reservoir of
renewable energy. If properly exploited, this environmental friendly
resource can contribute towards meeting the increasing global energy
demand.
Objective and Scope
The symposium will be held in
conjunction with World Oceans Week celebrations. The objective of this
symposium is to provide a platform for sharing of the development of
