Wave powered technology solution for electricity production and desalination.
W2EW solution provides fresh water and green energy to isolated communities, through the exploitation of ocean waves power.
Our Vision
In a world dependent on fossil fuels and struggling against the climate crisis, W2EW is committed to providing electricity and fresh water by harnessing the power of the ocean waves, ensuring a greener future for the planet.
The twin challenges of energy and fresh water shortage give the unique opportunity for a strong cooperation and a new vision. W2EW consortium relies on the integration of wave energy and water desalination technologies, to produce zero-emission electricity and fresh water.
The main goal of this project is to integrate the partners’ technologies, demonstrate the combined solution, and pave the way for new brand clean energy market. After successful test the consortium plans to roll out the W2EW solution on off grid small-scale energy and water production, in islands and isolated coastal communities.
In the next years W2EW intend to extend the customer base of the W2EW solution to the large-scale utilities for production of renewable energy and water desalination, to be both an alternative and complimentary solution to offshore wind and solar PV.
Our mission
W2EW’s system is based on the innovative integration of wave energy and sea water desalination technologies, to produce zero-emission electricity and fresh water, with dynamic optimization of energy production and maximizing the available wave energy using fresh water as storage.
