Australia Pilots Novel Wave Energy Converter

Harnessing the power of our oceans could provide all the energy that the world needs three times over, with zero carbon emissions. Ocean waves produce an estimated 50 trillion to 80 trillion watts of power on a global scale. Even if we are able to harness just a fraction of that clean baseload power, it would upend global energy systems as we know them.  The issue is finding an efficient and cost-effective way to harness that energy and bring it to a commercially viable scale. “Many devices have been designed to capture and convert waves’…
