Since the abrupt climate change in all parts of the world, the transition to the adoption of renewable energy has become a situation of utmost urgency for everyone. Faced with this, the European Union stands out in the world by seeking new and better sources of renewable energy, bottom of the sea To obtain the.
A new untapped energy source: it has great potential
We are talking about the use of wave and tidal energy, two major players in the world of renewable energies. These have not yet been fully exploited, but do offer a wide range of energy and environmental benefits.
It is important to emphasize that the adoption of this type of environmentally friendly energy is extremely important for this global transition, especially when we take into account the high dependence of the population on non-renewable energy sources such as fuel, which comes from fossil sources.
Faced with these complex problems, it is believed that the energy obtained at the bottom of the sea is one of the largest and most useful Worldwide. However, the implementation of this type of energy has not been successful in more parts of the planet, and this is attributed to the complex problems encountered when trying to access it.
Wave energy: a great promise for renewable energy sources
A wave energy generator has recently been deployed near Gran Canaria. This is a large device intended to generate electricity from the energy obtained from the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. It is currently preparing for a slate of tests over the course of 2024 that will confirm its effectiveness.
Gulf suction dredger is the innovative Danish company that is going to develop a colossus wave energy generator with the aim of making optimal use of the energy available on the seabed, a project that was quickly supported by the European Union.
Michael Henriksen, the person in charge of this plan, recently emphasized the great importance of this project as it still exists nothing has been done compared to typical energy sources renewable energy, such as large wind and solar energy projects. The above is attributed to the great difficulty in reaching the sea for the implementation of said infrastructure.
These are some of the major benefits that seabed energy provides
On the other hand, if we focus on tidal energy, HydroQuest is a large company based near Grenoble. It has a purpose implement a series of underwater turbines that rotate with the ocean current, which generates large amounts of energy. To make this possible, it is important that the application of this infrastructure takes place in areas where the sea current is really strong.
Tiger is the name of the ambitious project that aims to generate approximately 41 gigawatt hours per year, which marks an important milestone in renewable energy production. Located in the Alderney Regatta in the Normandy region, this experimental farm is just the beginning of an extensive potential in tidal energy as it has a total of 17.5 megawatts with 7 machines deployed in the ocean.
The important transition to renewable energy sources has become an urgent necessity due to global climate change. In this delicate situation, the European Union stands out for its search for new energy sources, such as wave and tidal energy, which offer significant but untapped potential.
