By incorporating both upwelling and power generation on each multipurpose Wave Energy/Sequestration Technology (WEST-tm) device, our technology generates renewable electricity from ocean waves and helps amplify the natural ocean CO2 sequestration process, while supporting the ocean food chain to grow more wild fish and help overcome the reduced productivity caused by stratification from global warming.
As a side benefit for ocean scientists, the buoys offer an excellent site for ocean sensors to supplement critically-needed ocean data.
