Offshore specialists VerdErg said its Spectral Marine Energy Converter (SMEC) would be used to generate electricity.
The River Severn in Shrewsbury could be used to generate electricity under plans released by the town council.
Combined heat and power (CHP) systems have long been used to generate electricity and use the waste heat for other purposes, especially for industrial processes.

Most of the coal is used to generate electricity, with UK power stations consuming some 53.2 million tonnes in 2003 - the highest since 1996.
Over the past decade, the U.S. electric power industry has reduced carbon emissions, reigned in demand growth and diversified the portfolio of energy resources used to generate electricity provided by the power grid.
FORBES: America's Other Energy Revolution And Why It Matters
Although the amount of gas used to generate electricity rose 82% between 1997 and 2010, increasing efficiency in appliances that use natural gas has led to declining consumption of gas per customer over time.
It develops anaerobic digesters that convert organic waste into biogas used to generate electricity, heat, natural gas and motor vehicle fuel (CNG). quasar already operates eight facilities in Ohio, and several more are in process in the Buckeye State and elsewhere.
Those resources consist of a lot of rock, a lot of sunlight that could be used to generate electricity to process the rock and, at least in the dreams of many lunar scientists, some 20 billion tonnes of frozen water believed to lie at the bottoms of craters near the poles, where it is sheltered from the evaporative effects of sunlight.
Kitchen scraps and garden material are taken to biogas plants where it is used to generate methane and electricity in turn.
For example, in 2005, the power industry used 200 million gallons a day to generate electricity via thermoelectric systems.

The thermoacoustic Stirling heat engines developed by the LANL scientists work by creating intense acoustic energy that can be used directly in acoustically powered refrigerators or to generate electricity.
The 49kW array is expected to generate about 10% of electricity used by the sports centre annually.
SunPower says the system will generate enough electricity to offset the amount used by someone who drives about 1, 000 miles per month.
Lazarus knows about turning cool technology into commercial products: ACX used piezoelectric solids, which generate electricity when they are bent, to produce vibration dampers in K2 skis.
The space station's solar arrays generate the electricity used by AMS, and they provide up to 1, 780 watts of continuous power.
