A world first has been achieved at the Henderson marine base in Western Australia, with the
launch of an Australian designed and built and British backed wave energy generator to sit on
the sea floor and produce electricity and fresh water with no fossil fuel input.
CETO is the first wave power converter to sit on the seabed, where it is invisible, safe from
storms and ocean forces, and self contained. Unlike other wave energy technologies that
require undersea grids and costly marine qualified plant, CETO requires only a small diameter
pipe to carry high pressure seawater ashore to either a turbine to produce electricity, or to a
reverse osmosis filter to produce fresh water.
