Greentech:The power of the waves

How start-ups harvest electricity from the sea Wave energy could usefully complement wind and solar power plants, but the technology is considered half-baked. An innovation could change that. The movement drives generators, which in turn produce green electricity. core power The movement drives generators, which in turn produce green electricity. Patrik Möller, CEO and co-founder of the Swedish start-up Corpower Ocean, wants to usher in a “new era” in order to “supply the planet 24/7 with a previously untapped clean energy source”. On a blue-lit stage in Stockholm, the 46-year-old presents the new wave power plant "C4", which resembles a huge blue-yellow buoy. The principle: When there are waves, the buoy anchored to the seabed dances up and down. This movement drives two generators inside, which produce electricity. The electricity is brought to shore via submarine cables. The special thing about the 300-kilowatt power plant, which corresponds to about one-thirtieth of a modern offshore wind turbine at peak load: The 75-strong Corpower team could thus overcome a decisive hurdle for the commercial breakthrough of wave power. https://app.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/energie/greentech-die-kraft-der-wellen-wie-start-ups-strom-aus-dem-meer-ernten/29129136.html https://corpowerocean.com/

      Waves have the highest energy density of renewable energy sources, compared to others.

                Wave energy is another form of renewable energy that can be used as an alternative to traditional energy from fossil fuels
