If you have an interest in renewable ocean energy, Ocean Wave Energy Company invites your free subscription to OWECO News. This occasional email provides information on company activities, wave energy conversion technology, and water and hydrogen cycling. OWECO Outsights focus upon related environmental issues and opinions.

January 2012-  The Worldwide Universities Network Research Mobility Program is investigating approaches for controlling global climate with solar radiation management. Participants cost-compared techniques, such as using reflecting aerosal particles in Earth's upper atmosphere with carbon dioxide reduction, and their effects on sea level rise.  Basic models do not yet include several factors and currently seem an expensive fantasy relative to more direct water management practices.

September/October 2011- Foerd was session chair and presented OWECO technology to receptive audiences at South Korea and China seminars. This region, including inland, comprises over one third world population.

August 2011- Updated generator, ballast, and control  elements were incorporated  in the module design.

June 2011- Refined OWEB Map revisions utilized additional global wave reporting data.

October 2010- OWECO presentation was featured at "Wave Energy in the Mediterranean" Seminar in Kalkara, Malta. About 7% world population is proximate to the Mediterranean Sea and practical wave energy conversion could start with its islands. In preparation, seasonally adjusted wave energy increase was noted in comparison with 2005 Sicily presentation assessment. Between the largest wave tank and very energetic ocean waves, such as at UK's Wavehub device testing facility, the Mediterranean may become a "WEC test bed", or "nursery". As well as providing power, data from demonstrably proven WEC wave energy converters helps advance proof-of-concept. This approach may reduce error cost before full-on oceandustrial deployments.

June 2010- OWECO is pleased to announce its acceptance into the Environmental Business Cluster of the Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program. Autodesk, a leading provider of superior design and analysis software, recognizes a critical need and contributes toward efficient solutions in the renewable energy space. Its timely and focused initiative enables small businesses, such as OWECO, to virtually refine products before construction thereby saving time and materials waste. Thank you, Autodesk!
