The Southeast Asian region (SEA) is surrounded by ocean space, from which there is a vast potential to harness energy. Wave, tidal energy, and ocean thermal energy conversion could be tapped, to provide alternative sources of clean and dependable energy in the region. This article contributes to the growing academic literature on ocean renewable energy (ORE) in SEA by improving understanding of the opportunities and challenges of ORE development in the region, beyond its technical aspects. It conducts a critical analysis of the socio-political aspects of ORE development at a regional scale, which have been less studied in the existing literature. Aside from providing a sustainable energy source, the development of the ORE sector could provide socio-economic benefits to SEA countries through employment opportunities, inter-industry learning, inbound investments and improving economic resilience. However, these benefits can only be maximised if the costs of deployment, maintenance and repair are reduced, the impact to the marine environment is taken into consideration and issues of public acceptance are addressed. Beyond a cost–benefit analysis, this study critically assesses the unintended risks and consequences of ORE technologies and activities in the region and recommends different policy strategies to mitigate them. It concludes that for the region to reap the benefits of ORE, a coordinated approach among different stakeholders (technology developers, policymakers, and end-users) is needed to minimise the risks and unintended consequences.

东南亚海洋可再生能源的发展:机遇,风险和意想不到的后果

东南亚地区(SEA)被海洋空间包围,海洋空间具有巨大的能源利用潜力。可以利用波浪,潮汐能和海洋热能的转换,以提供该地区清洁和可靠能源的替代来源。本文通过增进对该地区矿石开发的机遇和挑战的了解,并从其技术方面出发,为日益增长的东南亚海洋可再生能源学术文献做出了贡献。它对区域规模的ORE开发的社会政治方面进行了批判性分析,而现有文献对此研究较少。除了提供可持续的能源外,ORE部门的发展还可以通过就业机会,行业间学习,外来投资和提高经济弹性。但是,只有减少部署,维护和维修的成本,考虑对海洋环境的影响并解决公众接受的问题,这些利益才能最大化。除了成本效益分析之外,该研究还严格评估了该地区ORE技术和活动的意外风险和后果,并提出了缓解这些风险的建议政策。结论认为,要使该地区获得ORE的好处,就需要在不同的利益相关者(技术开发人员,政策制定者和最终用户)之间采取协调一致的方法,以最大程度地降低风险和意外后果。减少了维护和修理,考虑了对海洋环境的影响,并解决了公众接受的问题。除了成本效益分析之外,本研究还严格评估了该地区ORE技术和活动的意外风险和后果,并提出了缓解这些风险的建议政策。结论认为,要使该地区获得ORE的好处,就需要在不同的利益相关者(技术开发人员,政策制定者和最终用户)之间采取协调一致的方法,以最大程度地降低风险和意外后果。减少了维护和修理,考虑了对海洋环境的影响,并解决了公众接受的问题。除了成本效益分析之外,本研究还严格评估了该地区ORE技术和活动的意外风险和后果,并提出了缓解这些风险的建议政策。结论认为,要使该地区获得ORE的好处,就需要在不同的利益相关者(技术开发人员,政策制定者和最终用户)之间采取协调一致的方法,以最大程度地降低风险和意外后果。这项研究严格地评估了该地区ORE技术和活动的意外风险和后果,并提出了缓解这些风险的建议政策。结论认为,要使该地区获得ORE的好处,就需要在不同的利益相关者(技术开发人员,政策制定者和最终用户)之间采取协调一致的方法,以最大程度地降低风险和意外后果。这项研究严格地评估了该地区ORE技术和活动的意外风险和后果,并提出了缓解这些风险的建议政策。结论认为,要使该地区获得ORE的好处,就需要在不同的利益相关者(技术开发人员,政策制定者和最终用户)之间采取协调一致的方法,以最大程度地降低风险和意外后果。
