We fully support the UK Marine Energy Council and their initiatives for advancing marine energy in the UK. Marine energy holds immense potential, and the UK is well positioned to lead the way, putting positive pressure on the EU countries, such as France, to commit to a roadmap that underpins the EC’s SET objectives. By endorsing their five key asks  of the next UK Government, the immense potential of tidal stream and wave energy can be commercialised. Together, we can lead the way in marine energy innovation, create more green jobs, and continue to enable growth globally. #MarineEnergy #GreenEnergy #SustainableFuture #UKInnovation #ProteusMarineRenewables #OceanEnergy #CleanTech #EnergySolutions
