Posted on: 28 May 2024
In this Energy Transitions podcast Inna Braverman, CEO of Eco Wave Power, talks about the journey to commercialising wave energy technology.
Wave energy is considered one of the most stable of renewable energies, capable of providing much-needed baseload power. But is wave energy technology ready to play alongside wind and solar power in the big leagues?
In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue spoke to Inna Braverman, the CEO and co-founder of Eco Wave Power to answer this question. Braverman details the development of her company and their technology, the challenges and triumphs encountered on the path to commercialisation, and her personal journey from a girl that no one would listen to, to a well-respected industry pioneer.
"Passion is the greatest renewable energy resource, even stronger than the power of the waves"
In this episode, learn about:
- The state of wave energy in Europe and across the globe
- The technology that works and doesn't work, and why
- Why onshore and near shore are less risky than offshore
- Lessons learned from pioneering wave energy projects
- Why an updated regulatory framework is critical to the success of projects
"The solution for wave energy commercialising in the near future does not lie at this point in crazy technological development, I think it lies mostly in creating regulatory framework…[and] providing more funding for wave energy…"
