Extended description
Oneka Technologies is a Canadian company that has developed desalination buoys powered solely by wave energy. The buoys convert wave motion into mechanical energy that pumps seawater through reverse-osmosis membranes to produce drinking water, with no electrical connection and no direct emissions, returning brine in diluted form. Modular and self-powered, they offer a clean, scalable option for coastal communities facing water stress.
