Another Wave Energy Project off the Coast of Scotland
[social_buttons] Wave energy seems to be Scotland’s lottery number. Scotland-based energy developer Pelamis just signed a joint venture agreement with the European energy giant Vattenfall for a large, almost $100 million energy project off Scotland’s Shetland Islands. This follows the recent launch of Oyster, reportedly the largest working hydro-electric wave … [continued]
Wave Energy Looking for Breakthrough — Using Aerospace Design
The oceans seem like a great potential source for clean energy. The force of the waves, the constancy, the size of the oceans — it all seems like something that could produce energy for humans without much harm. (I still have some concerns, though it seems like one of the … [continued]
$4.4 Million for WAVE Energy Project in Europe
Solar Energy. Wind Energy. Now, Wave Energy. Reminds me of Captain Planet. A Finnish company, AW-Energy, recently signed a $4.4 million (€3 million) contract with the European Union (EU) to implement WaveRoller (wave energy) technology in Portuguese waters. This looks interesting. The location for the project is near a town … [continued]
'Oyster' Could Be the Secret to Harnessing the Ocean
There is a new force on the wave-energy front. It’s called the Oyster. If it is successful in its debut this autumn, it could change the face of wave energy forever. You see, this giant electricity producing machine is different from conventional wave-energy machines. And those differences could make it extremely marketable.
