Ocean currents can generate electricity, and our study shows Africa's seas have some of the strongest

TechXplore

The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine renewable energy. Marine energy is much more predictable and reliable than many other forms of renewable energy because unlike the sun and wind, which regularly do not produce electricity, ocean currents never stop moving around the planet.
