In this month’s issue we explore the latest developments in clean energy generation. We look at intellectual property rights covering the transfer of clean energy technology and investigate investment trends in renewable energy and future growth areas across the developing world.
We also look at recent advancements in the emerging tidal energy sector, including a recently approved scheme in Scotland which will create the largest tidal array in the world, and explore what it means for the progress of marine energy.

Concern about dwindling resources coupled with active government policy in many countries has resulted in a boom in biofuel research. We profile the state of the biofuels industry and explore the impact of emerging technologies.

Clean Energy: An International Property Right?
Clean energy technology, while highly sought after, is also fiercely guarded. We take a look at intellectual property rights covering the transfer of clean energy technology across developed and developing countries.

By GlobalDataInvesting in a Cleaner Future
Growing populations and industrial growth are driving huge interest in renewable energy across the world. Countries like Brazil, China, India and South Africa are rapidly shifting focus away from fossil fuels, setting the pace of investment into a billion dollar industry.
Sign of the Tides
Recent tidal energy deals have given a boost to what has so far been a slow-moving sector. We find out which projects are making waves.
What’s Holding Biofuels Back?
The argument that biofuels can, and someday will, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels is persuasive. However, despite the positives, industry uptake has been slow and in many cases adoption has yielded zero benefit. We report on an industry fraught with obstacles.
Industry Projects
Cedar Creek II Wind Farm – The project will add a further 250MW of generating capacity to the Cedar Creek wind farm in the US state of Colorado.
Shams 1 Solar Power Station – The 100MW plant under construction in the UAE will be the first solar farm in the Middle East.
Reedsport Wave Power Station – Under construction off the shore of Oregon, US, the project will be the first commercial utility scale wave farm in the country.
BEI Teesside Biomass Power Plant – A new biomass plant fuelled by pine kernel shells will help to cut CO2 emissions by 140,000t in the UK.
Rotokawa II Geothermal Plant – At a generating capacity of 132MW, the geothermal plant located in Taupo, New Zealand generates 1,100GWh per year.
Next Issue: Fossil Fuels
The major challenge facing fossil fuel-based power generation today is the need to reduce emissions to meet increasingly strict standards. Earlier this year, the US Environmental Protection Agency proposed the first-ever national standards to limit toxic power plant emissions.
Next month we draw together the views of leading industry experts, academics and environmental experts on the issue of conquering power plant emissions. We investigate technologies that aim to clean up fossil fuelled power, for example filters designed to reduce pollutants from coal-fired plants, and catch up on progress in carbon capture and storage.
We also check in on the future of coal-fuelled power generation, looking at the example of China, which is well placed to take a leadership role in the further development of IGCC technology.
