Turning the tide - seminar presentations

As part of the EU's 2010 Sustainable Energy Week, Scotland Europa, the Scottish Government and the EU Ocean Energy Association (EU-OEA) held an event in Scotland House, Brussels, which explored real progress in the development of wave and tidal power and the role of ocean energy sources in satisfying the EU's future energy needs.

"Marine renewables: Turning the tide" examined the recently launched EU-OEA's Roadmap for ocean energy, focusing in particular on the practical deployment of marine renewables technology and the issues which need to be tackled to develop the fledgling sector commercially in the EU as we look to a 2050 EU Energy Vision. Please find below the presentations; agenda; and participants list from the session. A follow-up report from the event will be available soon.
