Who We Are:

At Mocean Energy we have built an expert team combining scientific principles and real-world experience to develop new renewable technologies which can harness the power of waves – and accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon world.

While wave energy companies of the past have focused on large, utility-scale devices, Mocean Energy is starting with products for markets where ocean energy has a significant value proposition. Our first product, Blue Star, is a small wave energy converter (WEC) with solar and battery storage capability, delivering continuous power and communications to subsea equipment, supporting the energy transition in the offshore industry. Future products will address industries from ocean science to utility-scale power.

The next stages for Mocean Energy are growing the team, becoming more commercially and operationally focused and developing larger scale technologies.
