The annual growth of global energy demand and the associated environmental impacts
(EIs) has an important role in the large sustainable and green global energy transition …

Many countries now recognise the need for mitigation of climate change induced by human
activities and have incorporated renewable energy resources within their energy policy …

This paper presents results of the Reference Model Project (RMP), which began five years
ago to facilitate Marine Energy Conversion (MEC) technology development and market …

There is a growing demand for the use of renewable energy technologies to generate
electricity due to concerns over climate change. The oceans provide a huge potential …

Offshore renewable energy provides an increasing component of our electricity supply. We
have limited understanding of the potential environmental impacts of these developments …

For marine energy to be truly sustainable, its social and ecological impacts must be
identified and measures by which to mitigate adverse effects established before devices are …

Renewable ocean energy is an alternative that will help reduce carbon emissions into the
atmosphere. However, there is uncertainty about potential environmental impacts of the …

This paper assesses an upper bound for the tidal stream power resource of the Pentland
Firth. A depth-averaged numerical model of the tidal dynamics in the region is set-up and …

Large-scale extraction of power from tidal streams within the Pentland Firth is expected to be
underway in the near future. The Inner Sound of Stroma in particular has attracted significant …

A just transition to renewable energy requires accounting for the effects of offshore wind
