AW-Energy Board's chairman Per Langer said: "This has been very challenging but valuable process and I am very excited to announce that WaveRoller has been awarded the Technology Qualification certificate. It is the first ocean energy converter to reach this level of validation by Lloyd's Register."

"The WaveRoller technology not only offers a novel and previously untapped source of renewable energy."

Wave energy is a large untapped renewable resource available worldwide, which is predictable and reliable.

Denmark's British Ambassador Vivien Life said: “The WaveRoller technology not only offers a novel and previously untapped source of renewable energy, it has minimal visual impact and creates an artificial basis for reef ecosystems to flourish.

“Companies like AW-Energy are the key players in this new era of energy innovation, which increasingly focuses on clean technology solutions for global sustainability challenges.”
