Marine Hydrokinetic Infrastructure · North Carolina Offshore

Harnessing Ocean Power,
Securing Fresh Water.

TideForge is developing an integrated offshore platform that turns the steady force of ocean currents into baseload energy, desalinated water, and cooling for the infrastructure of the AI era — all in one circular system.

Scroll

Not offshore wind. Not seasonal. Not intermittent.
A continuous power source running beneath the surface — day and night, every tide.

One platform, three essential outputs

Infrastructure for an energy-, water-, and data-hungry world.

The same ocean current that powers the platform also drives fresh water production and carries away the heat of modern computing — value compounding across a single offshore footprint.

01

Continuous Clean Power

Predictable, around-the-clock energy harvested from ocean currents — a firm renewable resource that doesn't stop when the wind does.

02

Fresh Water at Scale

On-platform desalination converts seawater into a clean freshwater supply — turning a coastal resource constraint into resilient capacity.

03

Resilient Compute Cooling

The ocean is a vast natural heat sink. TideForge channels it to cool data infrastructure efficiently — siting compute where power and cooling already meet.

A circular system

Every output feeds the next.

Designed as a loop rather than a line — energy, water, and cooling reinforce one another, so the platform does more with what the ocean freely provides.

01

Capture the current

Steady ocean flow becomes continuous mechanical and electrical energy.

02

Power the platform

That energy drives desalination and on-site systems without onshore demand.

03

Cool & compute

Seawater carries away heat, enabling efficient offshore data infrastructure.

04

Return clean value

Power, water, and compute capacity flow back to the grid and the coast.

The resource
Off the Carolina coast flows one of the most powerful, persistent currents on Earth — a renewable engine that never switches off.

TideForge is positioned to develop offshore infrastructure in U.S. federal waters — building domestic energy and water capacity from a resource that's available every hour of every day.

About TideForge

Built in North Carolina, for the open ocean.

TideForge is a founder-led marine hydrokinetic infrastructure company based in Farmville, North Carolina, developing an integrated offshore platform that unites energy generation, desalination, and data-center cooling in a single circular-economy model.

Our goal is straightforward: turn one of the planet's largest untapped resources — the constant motion of the ocean — into reliable American power, water, and compute capacity.

Let's build the platform.
