History of Havkraft
In 2015, Havkraft embarked on a pioneering journey with the Havkraft Wave Energy Converter (H-WEC) aboard the MS Havkraft vessel, a test project that would mark the beginning of a transformative vision for the world’s energy future. This groundbreaking demonstration proved that wave power—one of the ocean’s most abundant and untapped energy sources—could be harnessed efficiently and reliably, even on a single vessel. The success of this initial test has since paved the way for a bold ambition: to integrate wave energy into the global energy mix, with the goal of achieving 10% of the world’s power from waves by 2050. The MS Havkraft project showcased the potential of H-WEC technology in a real-world maritime environment. By converting the relentless motion of the waves into usable energy, the project not only validated the efficiency of the H-WEC but also set the stage for larger applications of wave power. The H-WEC proved that even small-scale installations could make a measurable impact, showing that wave power is not only viable but also scalable.
