Tocardo is the Dutch manufacturer of in-stream energy harvesting devices and a tidal power project developer. With a history of 9 years in renewable offshore engineering and development, Tocardo develops and markets free flow tidal turbines, best explained as “underwater windmills”. The very high predictability and constant flow of (potential) tidal and river energy is considered to be a valuable contribution to the “traditional” decentralized renewable energy mix.
Tocardo’s underwater turbines are free standing, generating energy from water currents and tidal flows. Because of the high energy density of flowing water, compared to wind, the fully submerged units are considerably smaller than wind turbines and their visual impact is negligible. From an environmental point of view, the footprint of energy harvested in flowing water by means of the latest technology, is proven to be low.
