Wave Energy generation

Sustainable principle:

generation of renewable clean energy

Potential benefits:

Clean air, Public health

Description:

Ports are typically developed to provide tranquil waters. This proved shelter and efficient loading and offloading conditions. This means that various port structures are built to dissipate wave energy, but could also be used to harvest this energy. Through the use of wave energy generation equipment, energy can be harvested. Proven technology is available for both short wave energy generation as well as for long wave (up to tidal waves) energy generation.
