The current global energy sector needs an efficient and economic alternate of the fossil fuels as they are getting depleted and are also major sources of anthropogenic pollution. Tidal energy is one of those renewable energy sources which are almost carbon free as it does not produce any pollutants during its operation. Tidal Energy has emerged as a very promising energy source but still in the group of renewable energy sources this is not been developed on a large scale. This report aims to study the tides as an energy source, different technologies, economics and social and environmental impacts. The two types of tidal technologies, Tidal Range and Tidal Stream, are discussed in detail in the report. The economical review of both the types is mentioned in detail.
