What Bombora does
Founded in Perth, Australia, in 2012, Bombora Wave Power has grown to become a leader in the wave energy sector, focusing on the development of its mWave technology.
What is mWave?
The mWave device is a membrane-based wave energy converter designed to harness the power of ocean waves to generate electricity. This technology stands out for its durability and efficiency in converting wave energy into a green electricity source. The device consists of air-inflated rubber membranes attached to a steel structure beneath the ocean surface. As waves pass over the membranes, the air inside is compressed, driving a turbine to generate electricity.
Introduction to Bombora
Bombora Wave Power has made significant progress in developing and testing its innovative wave energy technology, the mWave. This system utilizes a series of air-inflated rubber membranes secured beneath the ocean’s surface to convert wave energy into electricity. This technology is particularly noted for its robustness, capable of withstanding extreme ocean conditions, and its modular design allows for scalable and cost-effective production. Bombora's flagship project, the 1.5MW Pembrokeshire Demonstration Project, is a major step towards validating and optimizing this technology for commercial use. This project has received substantial financial support from the European Regional Development Fund and represents a critical phase in testing the mWave's performance in real-world ocean conditions. Additionally, Bombora is exploring the potential of integrating wave energy with offshore wind power through the InSPIRE project. This hybrid platform aims to enhance the stability and efficiency of renewable energy production by combining the complementary power generation profiles of wind and wave energy. This approach not only optimizes the use of ocean space but also aims to reduce the overall cost of energy production, contributing to a more sustainable and reliable renewable energy landscape.
