Using wave energy

Description

Using wave energy involves harnessing the kinetic and potential energy of ocean waves to generate electricity or mechanical power. This strategy aims to provide a renewable, sustainable energy source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. By deploying wave energy converters, it addresses energy shortages, supports coastal energy independence, and offers a clean alternative for remote or island communities, contributing to global efforts to combat climate change and promote environmental sustainability.

Context

Electricity can be produced by using the energy of waves of water. As the sea rises and falls it forces air through a turbine, driving an electricity generator. Such wave energy units are best constructed at the head of a natural rock gully or a constructed channel as this encloses a column of sea water which rises and falls with more emphasis. Wave energy is a renewable energy source and may have a lot of potential.
