What Are the Challenges in Integrating Nanotechnology with Marine Energy?
While the potential is enormous, several challenges need to be addressed:
Scalability: Producing nanomaterials at a scale suitable for large marine energy projects can be challenging. Cost: Although nanotechnology can reduce long-term costs, the initial investment can be high. Environmental and Health Concerns: The impact of nanomaterials on marine ecosystems and human health must be thoroughly studied and mitigated. Regulation: Developing and implementing regulations for the use of nanotechnology in marine environments can be complex.
