Today we are joined by Jan Skjoldhammer the founder and CEO of NoviOcean. NoviOcean is a wave energy technology company that is developing, what they believe to be, a technology that will truly crack the wave power industry.

• (23:30 - 27:40) The layout and siting of the projects and the benefits of co-locating the projects with Offshore Wind
• (32:51 - 34:33) How the tech can also help reduce damage from waves onshore
