The wave energy technologies stand out in the energy generation arena due to it’s’ ability to harness large amounts of cost-efficient renewable energy.

In a world ruled by fossil fuels, converting wave energy into electricity might seem far-fetched, but ocean power is gradually joining the ranks of wind and solar as a source of renewable energy.

Can anyone in the 21^st century doubt the urgent need for wave energy technologies anymore? The severe shortage of electricity all around the world and our growing environmental consciousness all point to a new dawn in energy.

The sea has long been seen as a source of energy, and the idea of harvesting energy from sea waves was first patented in 1799, in Paris, by Girard and his son. Whereas in 1910 there was already a first attempt to apply the wave energy generation concept by Bochaux-Praceique, who had harvested energy from sea waves, to power his house in Royan, near Bordeaux, France.
