Read the latest positive news, breakthroughs, and inspiring stories about ocean power, curated daily by BrightWire.
Indonesia is teaming up with Sweden to unlock its massive ocean energy potential—enough clean electricity to power millions of homes. A groundbreaking partnership is bringing cutting-edge tidal technology to one of the world's most promising renewable energy markets.
A TV-sized flap bobbing off Hawaii's coast is proving that ocean waves can generate electricity—and sharing data that could unlock a new era of marine energy. This small device represents a big leap for renewable power.
A new wave energy testing facility seven miles off Oregon's coast just opened to help turn ocean waves into clean electricity. The pre-permitted site could help America tap into enough wave power to light up millions of homes.
The first major wave energy testing facility in the continental United States is now operational off Oregon's coast, opening the door for clean electricity generation from ocean waves. Despite federal hurdles for other renewable energy projects, this breakthrough facility could eventually power more than half of America's electrical needs.
A Norwegian startup just proved that offshore platforms can harvest solar, wave, and wind energy simultaneously. The breakthrough could triple ocean energy output without needing more space.
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.
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.
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.
