CalWave's mission is to provide reliable, cost-effective ocean wave technologies for sustainable energy access.
We are bringing superior power generating technology to market with global reach. Our proprietary wave energy converter technology achieves high performance while surviving storms and extreme conditions.
Ocean waves are 20-60 times more energy-dense, predictable, and consistent compared to other forms of renewable energy. They are available at night and during winter. CalWave's patented technology converts this energy to electricity, equipping coastal communities with clean, reliable, and local energy while keeping our planet and the health of future generations in mind.
Target: Displacing 500 million tons of GHG annually by 2050.
Wave energy has the potential to satisfy 20-30% of global energy demand, and forecasts show that ocean energy can reduce/sequester the equivalent of 1.38 gigatons of CO2. Assuming wave energy development follows a trajectory similar to offshore wind, production can increase to meet our target of displacing 500 million tons of GHG equivalent annually by 2050.
Wave energy has the potential to power over 100 million US homes, but is completely underutilized at the moment.
