Wave of the Future: Capturing the Unlimited Power of the World's Oceans

Mar 9, 2025

11:30am – 12:30pm CT

The ocean is the largest untapped energy resource. Ocean energy can provide reliable power for everything from underwater autonomous robots, data gathering sensors, and offshore operating equipment to critical infrastructure assets, data centers, island microgrids, and mainland grids. A new industry – developing cutting edge technologies that can effectively tap this battery – is on the cusp of coming to market. These new technologies will finally unleash the opportunity to bring electric, digital and robotic systems to the ocean economy and to diversify, decarbonize, and secure our global energy portfolio. Hear from industry-leading technology developers and key advocates in the ocean space about why the time for ocean energy is now.
