Renewable Energy
Given the twin pressures of reducing the emission of climate change gases and the growing need for energy security, against the backdrop of dwindling fossil fuel reserves and increasing energy costs, renewable energy sources will continue to increase in importance across the globe.

Fortunately, the United Kingdom (and Scotland in particular) is the best placed country in Europe to exploit its abundant renewable energy resources.
With the passing of the Climate Change Act 2008 by the UK Parliament and of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 by the Scottish Parliament and the imminent introduction of the Carbon Reduction Commitment, our own legislators have shown a real desire to tackle the reduction of greenhouse gases.
There are many different renewable energy sources and technologies/processes available including onshore and offshore wind, biomass, wave and tidal, hydro, energy from waste, landfill gas, solar, biofuels and geo-thermal.
