Japan has successfully tested a form of renewable energy that uses deep ocean currents to generate electricity.

“Wind power is more geographically suited to Europe, which is exposed to predominant westerly winds and is located at higher latitudes.”

Japan is already the world’s third-largest generator of solar power and is investing heavily in offshore wind, but harnessing ocean currents could provide the reliable baseline power needed to reduce the need for energy storage or fossil fuels. It first drove the ship to artificially generate a current, and then suspended the turbines in the Kuroshio.
