Using one of the best wave and energy resources in the world, Australian company Oceanlinx, via its Nelson Bay Ocean Energy subsidiary, is working to harness renewable wave energy to power up to thousands of Victorians in coastal communities.

The ocean is a potential treasure trove for renewable energy—one NASA study estimated more than 91 000 terawatt-hours annually of accessible energy worldwide. But wave-power technology development has been plagued by the unpredictability of the source and technical troubles stemming from the harsh ocean water environment. Now an Australia-based company has found a new way, to predictably and reliably generate energy from the ocean. The technology relies on the power of ocean swells, which are easy-to-predict long-wavelength oscillations.

We are participating at the All-Energy Australia ’09 exhibition and conference which will be held on 7 and 8 October at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

We are very excited with our technological advances and prospects of our evolved designs and I would like to invite you to visit our stand at your convenience.

During September, our Chief Technology Officer, Tom Denniss attended the 7th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference in Uppsala, Sweden, where he caught up with a number of the world’s leading academics in the field of wave and tidal energy, gaining both insight into the current state of the industry and valuable knowledge of Oceanlinx’ competitors.
