Founder’s Blog – The Potential of Wave Energy
Company co-founder and managing director Cameron McNatt discusses current activity and the future of the wave energy sector. The energy in ocean waves is 50% due to kinetic energy (the fluid particles move in ellipses) and 50% due to potential energy (the water surface goes up and down). The wave energy industry is also split between kinetic (i.e. what is … Read More

TechX Blog – Green is the New Black
14th June 2019 As the oil and gas sector faces up to the challenges presented by climate change, particularly in light of the net-zero by 2050 target set by the UK, many long-established firms are looking at novel approaches to lower their carbon impact. One of these new solutions is being developed by wave energy start-up Mocean Energy. Here company … Read More
Mocean Technology – the How and Why
How does it work? Our wave energy converter comprises two hulls connected by a hinge and moored to the seabed. Waves cause the hulls to flex about the hinge driving an internal generator What makes Mocean Energy’s design unique is the shape of the hulls. The sloped channels on the front and rear increase wave forces and change the body … Read More
