Technology Environmental Benefits
- The Oceanlinx technology reduces the need for fossil fuels, resulting in large reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Each Oceanlinx unit will save thousands of tonnes of CO2 and SO2 emissions annually
- The expected global market for wave energy could see a saving of more than 1 billion tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere each year on a like-for-like comparison with coal-generated power
- The current prototype unit off the coast of Sydney produces zero CO2 and SO2 pollution, with noise emissions of less than 77db
