Almost a decade ago it was “an idea in need of $100 million and some serious innovation”. Now UWA researchers are involved with Carnegie Wave Energy’s world-first technology that promises clean energy powered by the Indian Ocean waves we love to surf

As a world leader in oil and gas geotechnical engineering, we’re now building significant capabilities to assist the wave energy industry in delivering economically viable energy. This includes the commissioning in 2016 of COFS new centrifuge facility and the recent employment of a research associate and two new PhD students, so that offshore renewable energy and wave energy in particular becomes an important element of COFS research portfolio.”
