For green renewable energy, one does not need to look far before it becomes apparent that it is all around us. The world is two-thirds covered by water. Most of which is in the oceans, which because of the moons pull along with the wind, is in constant motion. This motion or kinetic energy is in the form waves. Harnessing this energy is a real and viable way to supply the energy needs in a non-destructive way to our environment.

The first wave machine to produce electricity for consumers was installed 4 years ago.  The Portuguese energy company, Enersis saw the future and became part of it. Five kilometers off the northern coast of Portugal is the location of this 8 million Euro project. With production of over 2.25MW, these three OPD-developed Pelamis P-750 wave power generation units are helping reduce the Portuguese peoples dependency on non-renewable energy sources. These wave machines reduce the countries level of CO2 emissions by over 6,000 tonnes.

The European Union has called for 22% of the electric power consumption to come from green renewable energy sources by the year 2010. Four years age the level of renewable sources was only at 6%. By tapping the power of the oceans waves along with solar and wind power, this is possible.

This was all possible because of the Scottish company Green Ocean Energy. Their fore thought has helped the world move away from its dependency on oil and coal to power the electrical plant of the world. In February of 2009, GOE announced its intentions to tie wind power to their wave machines that will be fitted to bases offshore by the year 2010. With this and other expansions in green renewable energy sources, our world will be a cleaner place for future generations to enjoy.
