Wave energy is a form of renewable energy that can be harnessed from the motion of ocean waves.
Ocean waves contain a tremendous amount of energy. The west coasts of the United States and Europe, and the coasts of Japan and New Zealand, have potential sites for harnessing wave energy.
There are many different methods and technologies for capturing and converting wave energy to electricity under development. These methods include placing devices on, or just below, the surface of the water and anchoring devices to the ocean floor.
