Potential uses include:
-
Generating electricity in commercial-scale utility power plants providing up to hundreds of megawatts of endless, clean, renewable energy from the ocean’s waves.
-
Providing power to grid applications and large energy users for:
-
Cities and large towns with isolated grids or in remote locations
-
Department of Defense bases worldwide
-
Powering oil and gas platforms
-
Making clean, fresh drinking water from ocean water
-
Producing hydrogen from seawater by electrolysis
-
Providing power and cooling for floating computing centers
