台灣海洋能源發展之現況與展望

The current status and prospects of Taiwan's marine energy development

海洋能源範疇甚廣，包括傳統在海域探採石油及天然氣，以及與海洋有關的再生能源，如：離岸風力發電，或是潮汐能、波浪能與海洋溫差能等。我國刻正朝向永續能源轉型，積極提高能源多樣化與自主性，近年來大力投入再生能源發展，其中離岸風力發電為我國能源政策之重點項目，預計將於2025年前完成5.7GW設置，為我國未來重要的新能源來源之一，另一方面，臺灣四面環海，具有豐富海洋能源潛力，其中波浪發電與洋流發電是未來發展的新契機。隨著海洋能源發展，海域經濟活動增加，將對海洋環境產生衝擊，未來應注意海洋空間利用規劃之合理性、積極完成海域災害防救、及海洋污染等課題。

Marine energy has many forms, including traditional offshore energy resources and renewable energy. The former are oil and natural gas; the latter are offshore wind power, tidal currents, wave energy, and ocean thermal energy. In response to the policy of sustainable energy transition, as well as improving energy independence and diversity, Taiwan has vigorously invested in the development of renewable energy in recent years. Among them, the offshore wind power should be the top priority and the capacity of the wind farm is expected to 5.7GW by 2025. The offshore wind power would be one of Taiwan's important sources of new energy in the future. On the other hand, as Taiwan is surrounded by the sea and has abundant marine energy potential, the power generation of wave energy or tidal current is the new chance in future development. With the growing trend to introduce marine energy and the increase in economic activities in the ocean area, it must be paid to such topics as marine space utilization planning, disaster prevention, and marine pollution.
