Resolute Marine Energy

Resolute Marine Energy (RME) is developing technologies that produce clean energy from ocean waves. Since the company’s founding in 2007, RME has received generous research and development funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Interior – Bureau of Reclamation and test program support from organizations including the University of North Carolina – Coastal Studies Institute and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

RME’s goal is to build and sell smaller-scale, wave-driven power solutions (1-50kW) utilized in commercial applications including open-ocean aquaculture, seawater desalination and ocean observation systems. Our longer-term goal is to develop WEC technologies that are appropriate for utility-scale, grid-connected electricity generation.

RME is committed to uphold the highest standards of ocean stewardship and to deliver triple-bottom-line returns to stakeholders in terms of measurable financial, social and environmental benefits.

Over the past years, RME has won numerous awards including the West African Forum for Clean Energy Financing Competition (WAFCEF) (2013);  “Engineer of the Year” in sustainable development”, Usine Nouvelle (2012); and was twice named to the Marine Technology Reporter’s “MTR 100” which annually recognizes the top 100 global innovators in ocean science and engineering.

Resolute Marine Energy, Inc. (RME) is developing wave energy converters (WEC) that generate clean energy from ocean waves. Our near-term goal is to complete development and commercialization of a wave-driven seawater desalination system that operates completely “off-grid” and fills a huge gap in the market for seawater desalination systems. We are also in the early stages of identifying opportunities to cost-effectively supply electricity to near-shore communities that currently rely upon diesel generators.

RME’s business model is to: target maritime commercial activities that would be enabled or greatly improved by the availability of an on-site renewable energy supply; identify specific industry leaders, customers or partners for joint research/pilot projects; and use industry leaders, customers or partners to sell jointly-developed products into targeted markets.
