To help advance the marine energy industry and prepare the future marine energy workforce, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) created the Marine Energy Collegiate Competition (MECC) in 2019. Part of DOE's Powering the Blue Economy initiative, the MECC invites interdisciplinary teams of undergraduate and graduate students to:
- Identify the most promising near-term markets for marine energy
- Design an appropriate marine energy device to serve market applications that could have commercial value within the next five years.
