Oct 15, 2025 - Blue Energy: Turning The Ocean Into Power Plants
The ocean has always been a force to reckon with - powerful, unpredictable, and untamed. But what if that same force could power our world?
In this episode of NexTech, we travel to the Netherlands, where engineers and innovators are turning tides, waves, and even the chemistry of seawater into clean energy. From RedStack`s pioneering “blue energy” membranes that generate electricity where rivers meet the sea, to SeaO₂`s breakthrough technology extracting carbon directly from ocean water - the Dutch are redefining what renewable power can be. We also meet the minds behind kinetic innovations like Water2Energy`s vertical-axis turbines and WECO’s wave energy converters - machines designed to survive the chaos of the open sea and transform its motion into electricity. The Netherlands has always lived with water — fought it, shaped it, mastered it. Now, it`s learning to make the ocean work for the planet. This is the rise of blue energy - where the sea itself becomes the next power plant.
