Waveplam

About

Although wave energy cannot currently compete economically against mature technologies, the European wave energy resource has a great potential contribution in the electricity market, and at a technical level, different solutions, which offer a level of technical maturity comparable to other RES with a larger presence on the market, are currently being tested.

The purpose of WAVEPLAM is to develop tools, establish methods and standards, and create conditions to speed up introduction of ocean energy onto the European renewable energy market, tackling in advance non-technological barriers and conditioning factors that may arise when these technologies are available for large-scale development, by means of a series of activities geared towards supporting creation of a ocean energy market that will harness the great potential of this kind of energy that exists in Europe, contributing to decrease European external energy dependency and leading to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
