What is it? The energy of ocean surface waves and the

capture of that energy to do useful work A form of renewable energy It is not as same as tidal power and ocean currents It depend on the wave height, wave speed, wave length, and water density

Why it is suitable for Hong Kong? It can Produce a lot of energy Use in many locations Hong Kong with large coastlines and strong prevailing winds which can produce 5% or more electricity Excess capacity could also be used to produce hydrogen

Why it is a better choice?

Weather/Climate factors

Situations that it can be used in

How it works? The air in here will be rushing in and out

When the air rush in and out, it made the generator operate to produce energy

Financial Concerns

Achieves Hong Kong needs

Advantages The energy is free Not expensive to operate and maintain Can produce a great deal of energy On-shore or near-shore plants could be

designed as part of harbor walls or waterbreaks creating a place for new colonization

Disadvantages Unstable Site requirement Noise problem Aesthetic concern Not easy to operate the electric generators Special design makes the material cost being

higher Lake of competitiveness
