Focuses on the power of water waves to generate energy in a renewable and sustainable fashion.
In the final stages of completion and now fully operational, the MeyGen project in the Pentland Firth is a game changer for tidal energy. Sitting between the islands of Great Britain and Mainland, this small stretch of water has an incredible amount of potential to become home to one of the world’s biggest tidal energy […]
Continue ReadingThe world of energy is all about innovation and making ambitious leaps forward in projects that might otherwise have failed. However, there is something to be said for the development of this new game-changing wave energy power verification system. This is designed by Eco Wave Power, and it could be one of the most exciting […]
Continue ReadingWello has received a 10MW wave energy park order from Gapura Energi Utama (GEU) in Bali. This new energy park will be next to Nusa Penida Island which is part of Bali and is expected to be complete by the end of 2018. This is part of the agreement Wello went into for the Indonesian […]
Continue ReadingWave power is increasingly becoming popular, gradually gaining momentum. Recently, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced funding of up to $40 million for the development of the first open-water wave-energy-testing facility in the country. For several years, wave energy has failed to keep pace with solar and wind energy, partly because harnessing this power […]
Continue ReadingWe take water for granted, but there are some fantastic inventions out there that are going unnoticed. We’re constantly finding new ways to implement water technology to make it safer. I’ve been browsing the web for some of the best water tech stories in recent times. Here’s what I found. The Waterless Toilet We’ll start […]
Continue ReadingIf you’re a fly on the wall at the COP21 in Paris, you’ll probably hear the world leaders talk about natural gas, wind energy, and solar power. What you may not hear about is ocean energy. This isn’t really surprising since it’s a relatively new technology and isn’t as popular as other clean energy sources. […]
Continue ReadingIn January 2008, I had talked about how Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) in Northern California was working with Finavera to deploy an offshore wave farm. The AquaBuoys were to be placed out to sea a little north of San Francisco in Humboldt County. Well, now the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has stricken this […]
Continue ReadingTriton Renewable Energy Limited has teamed up with Renewable Energy Holdings to develop an underwater wave farm off the shores of the island of Bermuda. Now, I’ve talked about wave power many times and I’ve even mentioned offshore wind farms as well. One of the largest objections by environmentalists to wave farms has been the […]
Continue ReadingOcean Power Technologies has teamed up with Griffin Wave Energy, ltd. to bring a wave power station to Western Australia. Griffin is already one of the leading suppliers of diversified energy in Western Australia delivering electricity from gas, coal and wind power. Ocean Power Technologies is slated to hand over a turnkey wave power station […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked before about wave power being the wave of the future. This past January, I even talked about the Finavera AquaBuOYs bobbing up and down off the shores of Northern California. But, now Scotland has thrown their hat in the watery ring of wave power. In fact, Scotland is dead set on developing the […]
