WAVEPLAM
Although wave energy cannot currently compete economically against mature technologies, the European wave energy resource has a great potential contribution in the electricity market, and at a technical level, different solutions, which offer a level of technical maturity comparable to other RES with a larger presence on the market, are currently being tested.
The overall objective of the WAVEPLAM project is to speed up introduction of wave energy sources onto the European renewable energy market, tackling in advance non-technological barriers and conditioning factors that may arise when these technologies are available for large-scale development.
Expected results
- Raise the knowledge of decision makers and investors about the state of the art.
- Build the proper tools to create the conditions to speed up the interest and the investment in wave energy project among target groups.
- Put together the dispersed dissemination efforts for overcoming the non-technological barriers to the development of wave energy.
- Guarantee communication and transfer of knowledge with relevant agents and institutions throughout Europe.
