In the light of pressing environmental concerns and increasingly strict targets on emissions from power plants, the industry is constantly pushing ahead with new concepts and technologies to clean up power generation.

In this issue we investigate progress in the area of clean energy. From bizarre and brilliant alternative energy systems to emerging power sources such as biofuels, we profile the latest advancements in ‘greener’ and cleaner energy production. We also explore initiatives and policies designed to attract interest in renewables and place them in a stronger position to compete with the still-dominating fossil fuels.
We also explore industry projects paving the way for a cleaner future, looking at the conversion of the a coal-fired plat to 100% biomass operation, as well as the UK’s largest operating CO2 capturing facility, the CCPilot100+ project.

Next issue: Waves of change
The tide is slowly turning when it comes to adoption of marine and tidal power, but as any industry grows so does the legal burden surrounding it.
In the next issue we investigate how ownership of the seabed may affect the industry and profile a recent move by the UK’s Crown Estate to reduce fees associated with using coastal zones for power production. We also explore the world’s locations with the greatest wave power potential and the efforts being made to harness energy in these areas.
New technologies are driving the ocean power sector forwards as costs come down. We speak to innovator Atlantis about its AR1000 tidal turbine, and ask Ecotricity how its new Searaser technology could improve the output of marine power installations.
