Transforming Ocean Waves into Clean Power, Energy Storage & Sustainable Water Solutions
Converts the natural motion of ocean waves into reliable renewable electricity, while also enabling integrated energy storage and future desalination capability through pressurised seawater transfer systems
Fully submerged operation • Zero visual impact • Integrated energy storage system
Building the Future of Ocean Energy
Seaweed Energy is developing an advanced wave energy converter designed to unlock the vast, untapped power of the ocean. Our system operates fully below the sea surface, ensuring no visual impact, minimal environmental disturbance, and robust survivability in harsh offshore conditions.
By combining proven offshore engineering principles with next-generation renewable energy design, we are creating a practical and scalable solution for global clean energy transition.
Unlike many conventional renewable systems, our technology also has the long-term potential to support freshwater generation through desalination applications using pressurised seawater generated naturally by wave motion.
Integrated Energy Storage Capability
One of the key advantages of the Seaweed Energy concept is its integrated energy storage potential.
Instead of generating electricity only when waves are active, the system allows pressurised fluid to be transferred and stored onshore. This stored pressure can later be released through turbines to generate electricity on demand.
This creates several advantages:
- Improved renewable power stability
- Reduced intermittency challenges
This integrated storage approach could help wave energy contribute more effectively to future resilient energy systems.
Desalination & Water Infrastructure Potential
The pressurised seawater generated by the system also creates opportunities for desalination and freshwater production.
In regions facing water scarcity, coastal infrastructure challenges, or island-based energy dependency, the technology may provide dual-function capability:
- Renewable electricity generation
- Seawater desalination support
This creates the possibility of delivering both sustainable power and freshwater solutions from a single offshore energy platform.
Zero Visual Impact
This unique feature makes the technology especially valuable in locations where natural beauty is paramount, such as tourism destinations, luxury coastal developments, resorts, and private islands.
Fully submerged and invisible from shore, the system enables stakeholders to harness ocean energy without compromising scenic views, property aesthetics, or guest experience.
- Fully submerged operation
- Zero visual impact on coastal landscapes
- Preserves tourism and recreational value
- Suitable for luxury resorts and private islands

Technology
Wave energy is the most powerful but least developed renewable energy. Waves have the potential to provide a completely sustainable source of energy, which can be captured and converted into electricity by wave energy converter (WEC) machines. The Kelp System has been developed to extract energy from the shoreline out to the deeper waters offshore. The Seaweed Energy wave energy converter (WEC) is a design based on an oscillating wave surge converter type device, that harnesses the underwater wave surge force.
Utility-scale wave energy could also balance wind and solar projects in two ways, it could provide electricity when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing. Wave energy has a much higher power density than wind and solar energy.
The Kelp System Technology is easily transportable and can be scaled according to a specific site and client requirements, making it suitable for both small and large-scale applications. Its design comprises a minimal number of components, ensuring high survivability in marine environments, and facilitating straightforward maintenance procedures.
Partners
Over 70% of our planet is covered by ocean, an immense, powerful, and largely untapped source of clean energy. Within its waves lies a vast opportunity to reshape the global energy landscape.
At Seaweed Energy, we are unlocking this potential, transforming the natural motion of the sea into reliable, sustainable power to support the journey toward Net Zero.
