About

SEWAT: Energy from Waves

Turning the ocean’s destructive force into a clean resource.

In Short

The system uses modular concrete units with smart gates to trap wave water, creating a hydroelectric basin above sea level. As the water flows back through turbines, it generates sustainable electricity and green hydrogen.

Why SEWAT?

  • Coastal Defense: Stops erosion and filters marine plastics.

  • Zero Land Use: A single 50m module matches the output of 8 hectares of solar panels.

  • Circular Economy: Produces biofuels from algae and sand for beach nourishment.

  • Efficiency: Over 50 years of lifespan with simplified maintenance.
