RME CEO Bill Staby made a presentation to The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) Social Entrepreneurs special interest group about using the power of ocean waves to provide fresh water to near-shore, off-grid communities in the developing world. “As much as 70% of the cost of desalting seawater is energy-related and thus using “free” energy from ocean waves has obvious appeal,” Mr. Staby said. “It’s clearly an application of our technology we’ll be investigating very carefully.”
