With governments setting stringent targets to reduce fossil fuel consumption, the race is on to develop new renewable power technologies. The marine environment offers numerous opportunities, from exploiting wind, waves or tides to harnessing the intense productivity of marine plants. While exploiting the sea sidesteps a multitude of problems on land, these new industries have potential for significant environmental impacts of their own. The SAMS Marine Renewables Theme combines the multidisciplinary skills of our established researchers and specifically hired staff to provide expert scientific research and advice to help harness the full potential of marine power and understand its environmental impacts. Our expertise feeds into many aspects of marine renewable energy production. Our work divides into three sub-themes: a) Biofuels from macro-algae; b) Biofuels from micro-algae and c) Environmental interactions.
