About the Perth Wave Energy Project
Carnegie's Perth Wave Energy Project is located offshore Fremantle in the ocean between Garden Island and Five Fathom Bank at a depth of approximately 25 metres. Upon completion, it will be Australia's first commercial scale wave energy project.
The primary aim of the project is to demonstrate the CETO technology in commercial operation and deliver Carnegie its first project based revenues from the sale of power. The project site could also be a base for a desalination pilot project utilizing Carnegie's CETO technology.
About CETO
The CETO system distinguishes itself from other wave energy devices by operating out of sight and being anchored to the ocean floor. An array of submerged buoys is tethered to seabed pump units. The buoys move in harmony with the motion of the passing waves, driving the pumps which in turn pressurise water that is delivered ashore via a pipeline.
High-pressure water is used to drive hydroelectric turbines, generating zero-emission electricity. The high-pressure water can also be used to supply a reverse osmosis desalination plant, replacing greenhouse gas emitting electrically driven pumps usually required for such plants.
CETO Technology characteristics include:
§ CETO converts wave energy into zero-emission electricity and desalinated water
§ CETO is environmentally friendly, has no visual impact and attracts marine life
§ CETO is fully submerged in deep water away from popular surf breaks
About Carnegie
Carnegie Wave Energy Limited is an Australian, ASX-listed (CWE) wave energy technology developer. Carnegie is the owner and developer of the CETO Wave Energy Technology intellectual property.
