Abstract
This latest report from Policy & Innovation Group at the University of Edinburgh highlights the potential future economic benefit from developing and deploying tidal stream and wave energy in Scotland, the rest of the UK, and from global exports.
Scotland is at the forefront of the global development and deployment of tidal stream and wave energy devices. In addition to significant resource in Scottish seas, Scotland is also home to several leading tidal stream and wave energy device developers and possesses the underpinnings of a suitably equipped supply chain to support them.
Commercial domestic tidal stream and wave energy sectors have the potential to provide a meaningful contribution to Net Zero, the Just Transition, energy security and economic growth commitments and ambitions, both in Scotland and the rest of the UK.
