funding to American developers so they can advance their technologies with the goal of providing millions of Americans with locally sourced, clean, and reliable energy,” said Jennifer M. Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy.Energy from ocean waves is abundant and complementary to other renewable energy sources, like wind energy and solar power. Even if only a portion of this technical resource potential is captured, wave energy technologies would make significant contributions to U.S. energy needs by powering U.S. electric grids and at-sea activities, as well as rural and remote communities that often

has a role that is more important than is generally understood. In a country such as ours, where we’re basically self-sufficient in our supply of electricity, many find it difficult to realise the importance of our gas for Brits and Europeans.”The need for gasGas is one of the largest energy sources for generating electricity in Europe, and Norwegian gas covers around one-quarter of Europe’s energy consumption, according to Eurostat. Norwegian gas meets the annual household needs of 800 million people.In April 2023, Gassco and the NPD presented a study which concludes that increasing
