Blue Energy Ecological Advantages

Global climate change has become a catalyst for the social and political demand for sustainable energy sources. This combined with the high cost of extending electricity grids to rural areas and the decreasing price of stand-alone power systems is a significant incentive to the rise of locally generated energy.

The Blue Energy Ocean Turbine enables communities, large and small, to generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gases of any kind or impacting the local marine environment. Unlike conventional barrage systems, the Blue Energy Ocean Turbine relies on ocean currents rather than tidal amplitude to generate electricity. The array of slow moving turbines allows water and fish to flow freely and safely through the structure. Larger marine mammals will be prevented from contact with the rotary foils by a protective fence, and further protected by a backup auto-breaking system controlled by sonar sensors.
