Ocean Energy – Opportunities & Challenges

-- sustainability, carbon-free power, 20-30% of demand, status, next-generation solutions ... (March 10, 2021) Dr. Marcus Lehmann, Co-Founder and CEO, Calwave Power Technologies

80% of our planet’s surface is covered by the ocean. Ocean Energy is the largest unused renewable resource that is currently completely unused. This session will cover the status quo, the opportunity and challenges ahead to make it a mainstream reality.

Marcus Lehmann, co-founder of CalWave Power Technologies, will highlight both the challenges of developing new offshore technology and the size of the opportunity — from wave energy generation systems that are closer to shore to the potential for integrated offshore wind-wave farms. He will also discuss his experience in the Ocean Solutions Accelerator and similar start-up incubators, highlighting how marine industries can collaborate (and co-locate) to use ocean resources more sustainably.
