– Eco Wave Power Global AB entered an agreement with Shell to develop its first project in the US
– A feasibility study conducted with Shell identified multiple locations in the US and globally for wave energy stations
– Momentum for wave energy in the US is growing, with legislative support in California and potential in New Jersey, reflecting a shift towards cleaner energy futures.
Eco Wave Power Global AB has partnered with Shell to collaborate on the development of Eco Wave Power’s first project in the United States. The collaboration follows a comprehensive feasibility study conducted by Eco Wave Power and a major energy company to identify suitable locations for commercial onshore wave energy stations in the US and globally. The study identified at least 77 potential sites in the US for implementing Eco Wave Power technology, highlighting the promising conditions for clean energy production.
The move towards harnessing wave energy is seen as essential in advancing renewable energy sources to meet net-zero goals. Eco Wave Power’s Founder and CEO, Inna Braverman, emphasized the importance of wave energy in transitioning to a cleaner, greener future. The momentum for wave energy has been growing in the US, with California passing legislation to explore wave and tidal energy potential along its coast. A similar bill is also under consideration in New Jersey.
