About us

The global ocean energy potential is vast.

By utilising the power of waves, we can tackle global problems, such as high usage of fossil fuels, lack of predictable and consistent renewable energy sources as well as a scarcity of fresh water. We believe that wave energy will play a crucial role in replacing fossil fuels and ensuring clean drinking water.

Vision

Make wave energy a significant and integral part of the renewable energy transition with Wavepiston as a global leader in wave energy solutions for power production and desalination.

Mission

Fight the climate crisis by driving innovation and implementation of wave energy solutions globally.
