The document discusses Scotland's efforts to transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Specifically, Scotland is working to streamline renewable energy projects that harness wave and tidal power. This includes a partnership between SSE Renewables and Alstom to develop what could become the world's largest wave farm in Orkney, generating 200 MW of electricity from wave power converters. The project aims to help Scotland cut emissions while protecting marine resources through careful planning of renewable energy development.

2. ABOUT
Solamon Renewable Energy blog is created by a private organization,
composed of various professionals, that strives to inform and disseminate
info about a number of renewable energy sources (which are more viable)
and environmentally-friendly than the widely-popular sources these days.
We feature geothermal heat, wave power and hydroelectrical
power. Solamon Renewable Energy wants to practically give information
away to people so they would become more open to suggestions that they
think are too radical for our time.
Our group was founded with the aim to make countries see the relevance
of starting to switch to renewable energy sources from the ones that we
are used to. Not only because of the high prices and depleting availability,
but more importantly, for the sake of environmental sustainability and
nature preservation.

GLOBAL CO2 EMISSION INCREASED BY 3%
Global carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere continue to increase, reaching
an all-time high of 34 billion tonnes, according to a study for the year 2011.
The said results were published in the yearly “Trends in Global CO2 emissions”
report, released by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the
European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. Their data came from the Emission
Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR).
According to the report, there is a significant decrease in emission for countries
belonging to the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The 34 member countries account for around one third of the emissions
worldwide and is equal to the combine emission share of India and China. In total,
the carbon dioxide emissions globally increased by 3%, reaching a historic level of
34 billion tons.
The three percent emission increase in 2011 exceeds the last decade’s average
yearly increase of 2.7%. However, carbon dioxide emissions from Japan and US has
decreased by around 2% owing to mild winters, generally weak economic states
and high oil prices, but the two nations still remain in the top emitter spots along
with China, EU, India and Russia.

7. China has registered the greatest increase in emission with 7.2 tons per capita or
9%, bringing an average Chinese carbon footprint on the level of an average
European’s.
Meanwhile the US has reduced its emission by 2% due to high oil prices and high
interest in natural gas, though it is still the highest emitter with 17.3 tonnes per
capita.
Japan and the European Union has also clocked a 2% and 3% decrease in their
respective emissions while India’s increased by 6%.
As of now, the official figures on carbon emissions announced this week are based
on where fossil fuels were burned but a committee report from UK suggested that
it also include in the nation’s calculation the energy expended on the export and
import of goods.
The UN has implemented a goal of reducing global warming to 3.6F by the year
2050, which was believed by scientists as possible as long as the total carbon
dioxide emissions from 2000 to 2050 would not go over the 1000-1500 billion tons
threshold. That limit should be observed in order for us to control the mean
increase in worldwide temperature or the cumulative emissions will exceed the
limit within a mere 20 years.

SCOTLAND GEARS FOR CLEANER ENERGY
SOURCES
Scotland is gearing for a more streamlined renewable energy projects that harness
water energy. This move appears to be warmly welcomed by energy firms and
various environmental groups, noting that the approach should take into
consideration other possible danger to nature.
Such positive changes are set to make the development and application of wave,
tidal and wind generation more efficient and viable.
Scotland is now leading the world to clean energy alternatives and they are
making sure that the lengthy planning process won’t allow other countries to
overtake them.
Through meticulous planning, they can utilize their tidal and wave energy to aid in
cutting down their climate emissions as well as protecting their rich marine
resources. They would want to ensure that they get the right renewable energy in
the right places.

9. Scotland has been big in marine energy because it’s the only country today
that is actively striving to explore a cleaner energy source. The recent
development in their aim is their move towards harnessing the energy of the
sea through the partnership of SSE Renewables and Alstom (an energy
construction firm that deals with anything ranging from coal to wind power).
Their deal is set to develop a huge wave power site in Orkney.
The firms involve in the project strongly believe that their effort can generate
around 200 MW of electricity from the site from a wide array of wave power
converters. This can possibly make them the world’s largest wave farm.
Their technology is composed of multi-cell sets of flexible membrane
absorbers that will convert wave power to pressure by compressing the air
inside the enjoined cells. A turbine generator then converts the pneumatic
power into electricity.
But the first thing Alstom and SSE Renewables must do is to conduct a detailed
survey of the site along with an environmental assessment. Then they start
building a site for 10 MW as the first phase, and eventually reach the full site
capacity.
