A Swedish company is bringing a first-of-its-kind ocean platform that harvests wave, wind, and solar energy simultaneously to Costa Rica's Pacific coast. The hybrid system could produce 160% more energy than single-source ocean platforms while cutting costs.
Virginia just flipped the switch on its massive offshore wind project, bringing clean ocean power to the Mid-Atlantic for the first time. When fully operational next year, the project will power 660,000 homes without burning a single drop of fuel.
A Japanese researcher has cracked a major barrier in renewable energy by designing a gyroscopic device that efficiently captures ocean wave power across changing conditions. The breakthrough could finally unlock one of Earth's most abundant clean energy sources.
Researchers designed the first standardized method for building wave energy converters, tech that could meet a third of U.S. electricity needs. The breakthrough could finally move ocean power from labs to real-world use.
Scotland just secured £15 million to transform its world-leading tidal energy facilities into a testing ground for multi-device arrays. The investment brings ocean power closer to becoming a mainstream clean energy source while creating skilled coastal jobs.
A new wave energy device uses a spinning gyroscope to capture ocean power across all wave conditions, reaching maximum efficiency that previous designs could only dream of. This breakthrough could finally make wave energy a practical renewable power source.
American researchers just created a "digital twin" system that lets engineers perfect tidal turbines before building them, slashing costs and speeding up clean ocean energy. Meanwhile, the largest tidal energy project on Earth is taking shape across the Atlantic.
A Japanese researcher has cracked a major puzzle in renewable energy: how to efficiently capture power from ocean waves at any frequency. The breakthrough gyroscopic device could finally make wave power a reliable clean energy source.
Scientists just made it easier and cheaper to capture energy from ocean waves, which could power 60% of U.S. electricity needs. A new open-source system called MODAQ 2 gives developers the data they need to turn wave power into a reality.
An underwater turbine in Scotland has operated continuously for six and a half years without a single repair, shattering durability concerns about ocean energy. The breakthrough could unlock a massive new source of clean, predictable power.
A groundbreaking wave energy station just cleared a major hurdle in Portugal, bringing ocean-powered electricity one step closer to reality. This innovative system turns coastal waves into clean power without disrupting the environment.
