This map of kinetic energy flux shows the global average power density calculated using drifter data in watts per square meter. As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under ...

The potential to generate clean, renewable energy from the ocean is vast, possibly rivaling wind and even solar power. Yet research and development of harnessing waves and tides for electricity have ...

The ocean holds great potential as a source of renewable energy from waves, tides, or salt and temperature gradients. The European Union alone estimates that by 2050 up to 10% of its energy demands ...

Portland-based startup Panthalassa has received $140 million investment to support its development of floating data centers ...

The world’s oceans cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface. They’re filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine ...
