Prominent guest artist - David LaChapelle will auction off a rare, limited edition copy of one of his books. Guest artist - Taiji Terasaki, in collaboration with the environmental organisation - Parley for the Oceans, will debut his new installation, utilising an old shipping container. A number of other artists will display their work as well.
Eco Wave Power partnership with AltaSea
“We are proud to support this event as a Trailblazer Sponsor, as we understand that raising awareness about the Blue Economy’s potential to change the world as we know it is the key to faster adoption of renewable energy technology and other efforts to more effectively and sustainably harness the power of our oceans,” said Inna Braverman, the Founder and Chief Executive Oficer (CEO) of Eco Wave Power.
Earlier this year, Eco Wave Power entered a collaboration agreement with AltaSea, announcing plans to bring their innovative wave energy technology to AltaSea’s 35-acre campus at the Port of Los Angeles, the nation’s busiest seaport.
Bringing pioneering wave energy technology to USA
The conversion unit is on its way to the AltaSea site and is expected to arrive to AltaSea’s premises during the upcoming week. This pilot station is part of Eco Wave Power’s increased focus on bringing its pioneering wave energy technology to the United States of America (USA) and expanding its worldwide presence.
“We are proud to support AltaSea and their blue economy initiatives. It is exciting to see the merging of art and science to highlight what might be the biggest economic boom in our lifetime – the Blue Economy,” said Inna Braverman, adding “The arrival of the energy conversion unit in parallel to the Blue Hour event is fitting because it further underscores the many ways in which the burgeoning Blue Economy can improve our lives.”
The AltaSea pilot project
The AltaSea pilot project marks the first time Eco Wave Power’s technology will be located in the USA
The AltaSea pilot project marks the first time Eco Wave Power’s technology will be located in the United States of America (USA). The technology has already been deployed in Israel and further deployments in Spain, Portugal, and other locations are underway, completing the company’s growing 327.7 MW project pipeline.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, wave energy off the nation’s coasts could have generated the equivalent of about 66 percent of all the electricity generated across the country in 2020.
