At this moment the energy transition largely depends on wind and solar. Wave energy can play an important role in reaching net zero goals. Development of wave energy converters is slow and costly.
We are developing an efficient, low-cost, lightweight wave energy converter that can be used as a building block for large scale energy generation.
