IEA-OES: Wave energy – Developments & highlights

The IEA-OES brochure ‘Wave energy – Developments & highlights’ presents 16 examples of wave energy projects across the world.

Successful prototype testing and demonstration projects aim at improving the performance, cost effectiveness and reliability of wave energy – paving the way towards full-scale deployments and first arrays.

Several different designs of devices are being developed, to cater for different environments and uses from utility scale to alternative applications such as underwater vehicles, desalination or the production of green hydrogen.
