Additional information

Tidal stream energy has the potential to make a significant contribution to UK power generation. This paper provided the first detailed evidence for its low carbon footprint using Seagen, the first commercial-scale turbine, as a case study. The process described has been adopted for further life cycle assessment studies in marine and other energy sources e.g.: DoI:10.1177/1475090211418892; DoI:10.1007/s11367-008-0033-9. The results feature in high-profile policy reports: Parliament Office of Science and Technology POSTnote 383 (http://www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/POST-PN-383); IPCC Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources (ISBN:9781107607101, http://srren.ipcc-wg3.de/report/). This paper was the recipient of a 2008 Professional Engineering Publishing Award from Proc IMechE.
