Europe is leading the world in ocean power development, and the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney, UK is its pioneering test-bed for wave and tidal technologies. However, as ocean power is still far behind the major renewables in terms of funding and support, we ask, how long can the EU maintain its position at the forefront of this emerging industry?

Also, we examine if partnering with Westinghouse Electric could make the UK a global nuclear technology provider, look at the impact of the US Federal Investment Tax Credit on renewables, and see how Tyton BioEnergy Systems’ non-smoking tobacco could replace fossil fuels.

Plus, we speak to US-based PRIME Coalition about its mission to support clean tech through connecting early-stage green projects to charitable funding and private investors.

Next issue preview

The landmark Paris Climate Change Conference took place in late 2015 with many pledges made regarding the global energy market. But with so many governments courting renewables, what will these changes mean for the struggling coal and oil markets? We examine how the decisions made will affect each area of the energy industry.

Also, we ask why UK investment in fossil fuel projects as foreign aid is over double that spent on clean energy, look at Statoil’s bid to build the world’s largest floating wind farm off the coast of Scotland, profile GE’s new ‘Current’ venture into solar power, energy storage and software, and investigate the International Atomic Energy Agency’s deal with Kazakhstan to build a low-enriched uranium bank.

Plus, we take a look at Cambridge scientists’ demonstration of a very-high-energy density lithium-oxygen rechargeable device that could solve battery technology problems.
