Ocean waves are a vast and steady source of renewable energy, but capturing their power efficiently has long frustrated ...

Sea Wave Energy Ltd has been working for more than a decade on an ultra-cheap floating wave energy device. With several prototypes tested, the company is promising capacities over 100 MW, with unheard ...

Ocean waves have long been seen as having huge potential as a source of renewable energy. Waves produce an estimated 50 trillion to 80 trillion watts of power worldwide—nearly two to three times the ...

Ocean waves are one of the most abundant and predictable renewable energy sources on the planet, yet efficiently harnessing their power remains a major challenge. Traditional devices typically operate ...

For several years, CalWave has been developing its xWave clean power technology. Now, the company announces the completion of a long-term open-ocean test off the coast of San Diego, during which the ...

Eco Wave Power’s technology is deployed near shore, attached to seawalls or jetties, where paddle-like devices are driven up and down by wave action, to generate electricity. Photo courtesy of Eco ...

Constant, powerful, and notoriously difficult to harness, wave energy has become a sort of holy grail in renewables over the years. Wave and tidal converters are used across the globe, from Sri Lanka ...

The world’s oceans may be vast, but they are getting crowded. Coastal areas are congested with cargo ships, international commercial fishing fleets, naval vessels, oil rigs and, soon, floating ...

Irish company OceanEnergy has already tested its oscillating water column generators at significant scale in Hawaii, and it's just signed on to a four-year project to test, validate and commercialize ...

A team in China has released new research on nanogenerators to generate enough power to make devices more efficient for wave power, as reported by Interesting Engineering. Local tourists watch sea ...

North Sea operators have a convergence of interests to find alternative power sources for their offshore platforms and subsea systems. Gas turbines typically power offshore oil and gas platforms and ...
