Euronews OCEAN Season 6, Episode 1 – Riding the wave to a greener future: Is ocean power the solution?

The world's oceans, covering approximately 70% of the planet's surface, are, for the most part, an untapped energy source.

• HydroQuest in France, is developing a tidal turbine for what's set to be the world's largest tidal power farm project
