Researchers working to cut carbon emissions and boost energy security using tidal stream power are set to benefit from a £7 million Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council investment.
Researchers have cataloged 426 potential tidal-stream turbine sites spread across 19 countries, quantifying a theoretical energy resource of 1,000 terawatt-hours per year from 262 of those locations.
Recent disruptions to oil supply in the Middle East have sent energy prices soaring, reminding countries how vulnerable they remain to imported fossil fuels. At the same time, global electricity ...
