Oneka Technologies, a Canadian startup, is revolutionizing desalination with buoy-anchored machines harnessing wave energy. Unlike traditional plants reliant on fossil fuels, Oneka’s modular system generates 13,000 gallons of clean water daily using kinetic energy from 3-foot waves.
Positioned on the seafloor, these eco-friendly modules eliminate land usage concerns, emit no greenhouse gases, and address the brine waste issue by diluting it in seawater. With successful tests in Chile’s challenging conditions, Oneka’s innovation promises a sustainable future for global water production, marking a pivotal shift in the desalination landscape.
