Wave Energy Generation

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Wave Swell Energy Developed an Environmentally Friendly Sea Power Machine

— May 27, 2017 — Eco
Wind and solar are well-known forms of sustainable energy, but an Australian company is making a splash with their method of generating sea power. Wave Swell Energy produces sustainable electricity from the ocean with an affordable and efficient wave machine.

The Wave Swell Energy sea power system uses an oscillating water column, but with patented technology that offers another outlet and more effective turbine. The clean, emissions-free machine does not use any oil or other environmentally harmful components. There are no moving parts under water either, eliminating the chance of injury to marine life. And it only makes the same amount of noise as a standard vacuum.

The feasible wave technology is also cost-effective, with prices being comparable to new coal-fired power plants.
Trend Themes
1. Efficient Wave Energy Generation - Developing cost-effective and green energy alternatives from the ocean, using patented technology and eliminating harmful components, creating opportunities to revolutionize the way we generate electricity.
2. Innovative Clean Energy Solutions - Adopting new sustainable energy solutions with decreased impact on marine life, offering a cheaper alternative to coal-fired power plants, disrupting in the energy industry.
3. Green Energy Expansion - Expanding the reach and affordability of clean energy solutions from water sources, such as oceans, leading to increased accessibility and long term environmental benefits.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - Developing and implementing innovative technologies to generate clean energy, leading to environmentally sustainable practices in electricity production and potentially reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
2. Ocean Technology - Advancing technologies that utilize oceans as a source of renewable energy, reducing impact on marine life and resources while creating alternative energy sources.
3. Utility and Power Generation - Creating cost-effective, sustainable energy solutions that disrupt existing generation facilities and offer alternative long-term, low-impact options for power generation.
