Ocean waves are the world’s largest commercially untapped and most reliable energy resource. CAES captures this distributed energy using point absorber to variable ocean conditions.
CAES stores energy as compressed air before electricity generation, eliminating the need for industrial-scale battery banks and the limitations of short-duration storage technologies.
Stored compressed air is delivered on demand as a reliable energy input for grid-connected generation facilities, independent of wind or solar availability.
CAES converts ocean wave motion into compressed air energy using distributed capture systems. Energy is stored prior to electricity generation, enabling controlled, on-demand delivery to infrastructure. Key Capabilities:
Captured energy is stored as isothermal compressed air at controlled pressures, ensuring long-term storage without physical degradation or performance loss over time. Key Capabilities:
CAES eliminates intermittency by supplying continuous compressed air energy to power generation facilities, regardless of environmental conditions. Key Capabilities:
Distributed point absorber arrays convert the vast, untapped energy of ocean waves directly into compressed air capturing energy at source before electricity generation begins.
Benefits:
Compressed air energy supports hydrogen production, industrial-scale reverse osmosis for fresh water, carbon dioxide removal, and acquaculture management.
Benefits:
Captured wave energy is stored as isothermal compressed air, providing long duration, dependable energy storage without batteries.
Benefits:
CAES supplies vast volumes of compressed air energy to grid-connected electricity generation facilities and industrial systems improving reliability.
Benefits
CAES systems are designed for large-scale deployment, incorporating extensive industrial infrastructure, including hundreds of kilometres of HDPE piping per system.
Primary Beneficiaries:
Compressed air extends energy storage from days to weeks, far exceeding the limits of short-duration battery systems.
All usable energy is captured and stored prior to electricity generation, allowing controlled, power delivery without post-generation storage loss.
Large-scale battery banks are no longer essential, eliminating degradation, replacement cycles, and environmental disposal challenges.
Energy availability does not depend on the sun shining or the wind blowing, ensuring consistent grid-connected operation.
Significantly improves performance and reliability of wind, gas, coal, and oil-based generation facilities by stabilizing energy availability.
