Offshore wave powered desalination buoys with zero emissions
Ocean Oasis produces fresh water by harnessing wave energy to directly drive desalination within offshore floating units. Our zero-emissions system requires no fuel or electricity, is immune to energy price volatility, and supports climate mitigation goals.
Our Solution
Offshore wave powered desalination buoys with zero emissions
Ocean Oasis produces abundant freshwater by harnessing wave energy to power our floating desalination plants. Our zero-emissions system is immune to fuel price volatility and offers a sustainable solution that supports climate mitigation goals.
Our wave powered desalination buoys use only wave power to produce fresh water
Engineered for durability and efficiency in a challenging offshore environment, our floating desalination plants operate autonomously with minimum maintenance requirements and remote monitoring and control. Using wave power directly to drive the desalination process without going via electricity production, dependence on the electricity grid or fossil fuels is eliminated.
Floating desalination plant growth and offshore potential
Our first commercial deployment of offshore, wave-powered desalination buoys—developed in partnership with the public water utility of Gran Canaria—will supply fresh water to approximately 15 000 people, delivering 2 000 m³ per day. As water demand continues to rise, so too does the need for secure, scalable, and sustainable solutions. Flexible and modular by design, our offshore desalination buoys will initially complement traditional onshore desalination plants, which are land-intensive and highly dependent on grid electricity.
Who we serve
Our beachhead market is the Canary Islands — the largest desalination market in the European economy, with 180 million m³/year of installed capacity and strong growth ahead. Our go-to-market strategy focuses on supporting existing desalination facilities across the Canary Islands in meeting their urgent need for additional capacity, before expanding to other islands and coastal regions in Europe, North Africa, and beyond. Potential markets for our offshore desalination service include:
- Long-term contracts with large existing utilities and municipalities
- Long-term contracts with island and remote coastal communities
- Flexible solutions for coastal construction, mining or port projects
- Specialized requirements for offshore and aquaculture industries
