Excerpt: CETO 2 deployment and operation, Fremantle, Western Australia, 2008CETO 2 unit on display at Fremantle Wave Energy Research FacilityCETO is a wave energy technology that harnesses the power of the ocean waves to generate electricity or produce desalinated water. CETO is owned and operated by ] (ASX: CWE), the Australian ASX-listed clean tech developer. Carnegie will own and operate all commercial CETO wave farms in the Southern Hemisphere . In the Northern Hemisphere CETO wave farms will be joint ventures with CETO technology licensee, EDF Energies Nouvelles SA (EDF EN), the renewable subsidiary of French energy giant Électricité de France (EDF). The technology development is being demonstrated at commercial scale in 2010 off Garden Island in Western Australia, home of Australia’s largest naval base HMAS Stirling. Subsequent projects may happen at La Reunion Island and off British Columbia where Government grants have been awarded.Named after a Greek ocean goddess, the CETO system distinguishes itself from other traditional wave energy devices by being a fully submerged, pumping technology with the power generated onshore by a standard hydro-electric turbine system.Submerged buoys are moved up and down by the ocean swell, driving pumps which pressurize seawater that is delivered ashore by a pipeline. Once onshore, the high-pressure seawater is used to drive hydro turbines, generating zero-emission electricity. Traditionally, wave technologies are characterized as offshore, floating power stations.The high-pressure seawater …
