WHY WAVE ENERGY?

Wave energy possesses unique characteristics that offer an advantage over other renewables such as wind and solar energy

RENEWABLE SOURCE 

It is a completely free source of energy. As long as we have waves we can capture their energy

POTENTIAL

According to estimations, the benefits coming from the use of wave energy can be way higher than the ones derived from wind and sun

WAVE DENSITY

Waves concentrate a greater power compared to other renewable energy sources. Also, their power density is higher than the one coming from wind. Thus, it is a more efficient energy

PROXIMITY

Lots of big cities and harbors are next to the ocean and can harness the power of the waves for its use. Approximately a 60% of the world’s population lives within 60 kilometers of the coast

NO DANGER OF

POLLUTION

There is no risk of polluting the surroundings in case of a disaster, unlike it occurs when using fossil fuel plants

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Once the system is manufactured and the wave energy devices are installed, no polluting emissions are produced

EASILY PREDICTABLE

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) estimates that wave energy is at least three times more predictable than wind energy

MINIMAL VISUAL POLLUTION

Wave energy converters are installed either on the surface of the water or submerged in the water, minimising alterations in the landscape as much as possible

LESS DEPENDENCY ON FUEL

Taking advantage of wave energy, society could become independent from fuel which, besides, is limited

​

The implementation of wave energy aspires to contribute to the welfare of society, providing clean-energy jobs to millions of people and helping the world becoming a greener, more sustainable place
