SUSTAINABLE ENERGY GOES MAINSTREAM Where EU energy projects meet the media Insert here your logo Wave Dragon from research to business • Hans Chr. Soerensen • Residence Palace, Brussels • 10th February 2009
Wave Dragon principle The Wave Dragon is a slack-moored wave energy converter that can be deployed alone or in parks wherever a sufficient wave climate and a water depth of more than 25 m is found. Climate Power production12 kW/m 1½ MW 4 GWh/y/unit 24 kW/m 4 MW 12 GWh/y/unit36 kW/m 7 MW 20 GWh/y/unit48 kW/m 12 MW 35 GWh/y/unit Wave reflector Waves overtopping the doubly curved ramp Reservoir Turbine outlet
Looking for injection of share capital • Looking for €50 million in new share capital for 75% of the shares • Having utility kind of investor ready looking for sharing the injection • In tranches beginning with finalizing the design for projects in UK, Portugal, Ireland and Denmark €0.5m
Regions where wave energy is most feasible 50% of World energy demand can be covered by wave energy, WEC 2004 1TW 60o * 13 30o 0o 30o 60o The western wind belt with the wave energy density inkW/m *
The theoretical global resource is estimated to be in the order of: 8,000 - 80,000 TWh/year for wave energy; 800 TWh/year for tidal current energy; 2,000 TWh/year for salinity gradient energy; 10,000 TWh/year for ocean thermal energy IPCC report January 2008 Ocean Energy Potential Source: EC SET plan, World Energy Council
