Australian-based BioPower Systems is bringing [ocean power conversion technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maritime-transportation-system) to the marketplace.

By [mimicking nature's mechanisms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion) for survival and energy conversion in the marine environment, BioPower Systems has developed proprietary [wave and tidal power systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/efficient-energy-harvesting), BioWave and BioStream, that will be installed beneath the ocean's surface. Once in place, the waves and tides of the water will provide the energy needed to produce electricity.

**Implications** - This new wave of energy production is exciting to cost conscious environmentalists across the globe, who are constantly looking for newer, natural ways to conserve energy and protect the world around us. The benefits of the BioPower Systems technology have emerged from billions of years of natural evolution under water.
