Wave energy is the single largest unused renewable energy source on the planet. The total theoretical wave energy resource worldwide stands at an impressive 30,000 TWh/year, surpassing the combined human consumption of electrical energy. If this energy could be properly harnessed, it would increase the share of renewable energy production and reduce the reliance on fossil fuels.
