What we do

Scalable, low cost, unobtrusive wave energy system that produces clean electricity and desalinated water.

Key Benefits

Green Electricity
Wavepiston energy farms replace expensive and polluting fossil fuels with a stable and predictable renewable energy resource.

Economic Growth
Wavepiston energy farms provide new jobs and economic growth in sustainable business for your community.

Desalinated Water
The high-pressure seawater generated through the Wavepiston system is converted into desalinated water through a standard reverse osmosis system.

Impact on Flora and Fauna
Research at test-and-demonstration sites in Europe has shown no negative impact on flora and fauna from wave energy devices. An increase in life is observed on and around the system as the farm provides a safe haven.

View Preservation
The Wavepiston system is fully submerged, except for its marker buoys, making it nearly invisible from the shoreline.

Modular and Scalable Design
The Wavepiston energy farm requires only a minimal offshore and onshore footprint, customised to suit the unique requirements of your community.

Company's story

Our Specialty
Our technology
A revolutionary wave energy technology that works with the forces of the sea.

How it works
Multiple energy collectors are coupled on a string with each string corresponding to a wave energy converter. Each energy collector has a sail, which is moved back and forth by the passing waves. This movement drives hydraulic pumps generating pressurised seawater, which is piped to the conversion station (onshore or offshore) where the pressurised seawater is used to generate electricity via a standard hydropower turbine and/or desalinated water through a standard reverse osmosis system.

A wave energy farm will consist of multiple strings all pumping pressurised seawater to the common conversion station, scalable both to wave resources and to energy and/or water demands at the given location.
Our story
Wave energy is the next big renewable energy source.
Given its high predictability and stability, global availability, and unobtrusiveness. It will become equally important as wind and solar in the green transition with future electricity demand expected to grow 3x by 2050.
