Oil from the plant’s seeds may be converted into bio-jet fuel as early as next year, with a test flight by SAA as soon as practicable. If the test farming in Limpopo is successful, the project will be expanded in South Africa and potentially to other countries.

In contrast to many other wave power devices, Oyster uses hydraulic technology to transfer wave power to shore, where it is then converted into electricity. Onshore, conventional hydroelectric generators convert this high-pressure water into electrical energy. It is also silent in operation. Ronan Doherty.
