Animation in English. See how the Seabased technology works at Vattenfall’s test site for wave power off Lysekil on the Swedish West coast. The equipment has been developed by the Swedish company Seabased, which also runs the test site in cooperation with Vattenfall.
Vattenfall believes that ocean energy will be the next renewable energy source to become commercial within the next 10-15 years and that the ocean can supply electricity for a sustainable future.

Ok, I think it’s …
Ok, I think it’s great that you invest money in research and development of wavepower, don’t get me wrong, don’t get me wrong, it’s just that it could be more of that and less of coal-plants. I know I know, if you don’t do it someone else will and at least you put better filters on them, pump co2 into the ground (which has no proven long term effects) and what not, but still, keep up the good work on new technology!
Great that you’re …
Great that you’re interested in wave power – we are too! Seabased has been a research partner of ours for some time, and we’ve invested almost 2 million euros in their research outside Lysekil. We’re now in the next phase, where we’re running our own test site. We’ve bought equipment from Seabased for this project, but it’s not really a collaboration. You may also have heard about other wave power companies such as Wavebob from Ireland and Pelamis from Scotland, which we’re also looking at.
How much did …
How much did vattenfall invest in this to take credit for it like this? Seabased is the company developing it so give them some cred in the video too please! I also want to add that this is a new kind of linnear generator.
