Floating concrete - the latest weapon in the climate war
A scheme using floating concrete to harness wave energy has received a £150,000 grant from the Carbon Trust. Bristol-based firm Embley Energy will use the cash to refine the prototype of its wave-energy converter Sperboy and demonstrate whether it can compete with fossil fuels and other renewable energy sources. Embley bosses say Sperboy, a specially-designed buoy, will deliver a cheaper ...

Europe leading the way in marine energy - study
The sea could supply 20% of UK energy demand and about 10% of world consumption Wave energy sources are not only available in plenty, but are also consistent, predictable and have the highest energy density among all renewable energy sources. The best resource is found between 40-60 degrees of latitude where the available resource is 30 to 70 kW/m, with peaks of 100 kW/m. The potential worldwide ...
