Energy from the Sea

By Offthefern • March 18th, 2010

WE HAVE AN EDGE OVER EUROPE

An interesting fact that I picked up yesterday, did you know that  although the UK Marine renewable industry is regarded as a world leader nevertheless the sea remains a vastly under utilsed resouce and here is the intersting bit one in which the UK is abundandant.

Europe holds between 20% and 30% of global tidal resources and the UK holds 50% of Europe’s tidal stream resource and 35% of its wave energy resource.

So plenty of opportuity for the UK to get ahead of the rest of Europe.
