Sea Wave Energy Limited (SWEL) is a research and development company based in Cyprus and the U.K. They designed and developed a wave energy converter (WEC) called the Wave Line Magnet, which converts energy from ocean waves...

Wave Swell Energy, an Australian clean energy company, developed an extraordinary wave energy harvesting platform. Named UniWave 200, the platform is capable of harvesting much more energy from sea waves than other similar...

People in these nations may experience both sea level rise and increasing wave power on their coastlines, eroding land further up the beach and damaging property...

Professor Ma's project will build on the UK's leading role in marine wave energy to overcome challenges to devices that capture the energy generated by waves and convert it into a renewable source of electricity.

Our planet is a water world, covered with 70 percent oceans. For centuries, it’s been widely known that the high seas can generate energy, if harnessed appropriately. With today’s renewables market rapidly expanding,...

As today's urban planners are struggling on how to integrate renewable energy into existing infrastructure, some forward-thinking architects are making the task much easier...

Surf's up! Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Japan are working to create special turbines that harvest the renewable energy of waves while simultaneously protecting coastlines from...

Power-producing materials are the stuff of wearable inventors' dreams. And scientists just created a yarn that generates electricity with a simple tug. The yarn, comprised of carbon nanotubes and submerged in an electrolyte...

Certain world leaders might be dragging their feet on addressing climate change, but in the meantime, Koen Olthuis and the rest of the Waterstudio crew are working on solutions that we can use today...

Wave energy comes in many forms: at Inhabitat we've written about buoys, floating sea walls, and floating platforms. But Australia-based Wave Swell Energy (WSE) takes a novel approach to harvesting power from ocean waves...

Wave power—energy harvested from ocean currents—is likely to be the next big thing in renewable energy generation, so researchers are spending quite a bit of time on new technologies to take advantage of the sustainable...

Wave power is a form of alternative energy that hasn't yet scaled up as successfully as solar or wind. In the future, though, one British Overseas Territory could receive 15 percent of their electricity from wave power. Gibraltar...

We already harness energy from the sun, the wind, and many other natural processes for our own uses, and electricity generated from ocean waves could be the next big thing in renewable energy...

Hundreds of world leaders are gathered in Paris to hash out a deal to save the planet from future climate change, but in the meantime, Koen Olthuis and the rest of the Waterstudio crew are working on solutions that we can...

We are in the midst of a refreshing shift as some of the wealthiest icons are investing their cash into progressive measures to create a better planet...
