 Synopsis

Taming the wavesClimate change, global warming, the rising cost of oil and the diminishing resource of fossil fuels – all reasons why research is increasingly turning to renewable resources to provide energy solutions for the future.

One such renewable resource is wave power; harnessing the ebb and flow of the oceans to power our cities. It's clean and the source itself is free – and unlikely to run out!

Two new approaches to extracting energy from the seas come from University researchers in the South West of England – home to one of the world's most dramatic coastlines.
