ENERGY BY THE WAVES
THE PROJECT
The interdependence between water and energy has become a crucial issue for the future of our planet. In 2023, population growth, economic development, and increasingly frequent climate changes are putting a strain on global water and energy resources.
To address these challenges, coordinated global efforts are needed to promote sustainable use of water and energy resources.
ADVANTAGES
The O.W.C.M. marine power plant project was conceived by top experts in the field with special attention to the surrounding environment and zero impact on marine fauna and flora.

O.W.C.M. in GENOA
The O.W.C.M. project is one of the very few systems for harnessing energy from wave motion that has already been tested in Italy and has a maritime concession on a Mediterranean offshore breakwater.
It will be of great significance for Genoa and for Italy’s global image as a leader in the fight against greenhouse gases, environmental protection, and the utilization of wave-generated energy (356 days, 24 hours a day).
For the construction of an O.W.C.M. marine power plant on the breakwaters of Genoa, with the required and suitable length, it is envisaged to build a series of Roman cement modules (Prof. Galli UNIBS), in the cylindrical cavities of which fiberglass floats (with a diameter of approximately 3.6 meters) move to actuate hydraulic pumps composed of coaxial tubes.
