About John Hemming

I’m John Hemming, deeply entrenched in the wave energy sector with a pivotal role at Embley Energy, where I serve as a director. My journey in this innovative field has been marked by spearheading the development and funding of the SPERBOY project. This cutting-edge wave energy converter harnesses the oscillating water column principle to generate energy.

My leadership has been instrumental in navigating the project through critical financial phases, successfully securing over £3.5 million from a variety of prestigious sources, including the European Union, DTI, Carbon Trust, and the nPower Juice Fund. These achievements underscore a remarkable 80% success rate in grant applications, significantly amplifying our financial reservoir to propel the SPERBOY project forward.

The SPERBOY project under my guidance is not just a venture in energy generation; it’s a beacon for sustainable and environmentally friendly innovation. As we move forward, the project is focused on several pivotal phases that include the detailed design of the device, rigorous wave tank trials, and the eventual construction and deployment of a commercial prototype.

Each step is geared towards not just validating the functionality of SPERBOY but also ensuring it meets economic and environmental standards that could set a new benchmark in the renewable energy sector. My role involves meticulous oversight of these developmental milestones, ensuring that each phase is executed with precision and leads to viable, scalable solutions.
