Wave energy offers ‘significant and unique’ contribution to clean energy future, concludes leading US report
A prominent report produced by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has concluded that wave energy technology can contribute ‘significantly and uniquely’ to the clean energy future. PNNL researchers focused on a ‘value-first’ perspective to identify value propositions that wave, tidal and ocean current technologies could offer to […]
Read MoreWave energy to form ‘backbone’ of future island energy systems, according to EU-backed Maldives study
A high-level study published on the Elsevier for Energy portal has identified wave energy as the ‘backbone’ of future island energy systems. More broadly, the research carried out by LUT University and Utrecht University, suggests offshore floating renewables will be a ‘gamechanger’ for island energy transitions – helping achieve security of supply while accelerating to […]
Read MoreNew ‘24/7 Carbon Free Energy’ movement strengthens case for reliable and consistent wave energy
In recent months a new catchphrase has captured the headlines – 24/7 carbon-free energy. It comes as some of the largest firms in the world including Google take bold steps to redefine and strengthen their claim of being 100pc powered by clean energy. In days gone by this typically meant tallying up total electricity consumption […]
