Contexts

This section takes a more in-depth look at some of the issues and projects surrounding the transition to a low carbon economy and green investing.

Energy-from-waste, for instance, is a huge growth area and our feature here, From Autoclaving to Plasma Gasification, explains the technicalities and looks at the pros and cons of various methods.

Britain is at the forefront of wave and tidal energy. The European Marine Energy Centre is our premier testbed for marine devices; the Wave Hub is a similar facility geared towards multi-array wave farms in the south-west. Tidal Barrages examines this tried-and-tested form of renewable energy.

Smart grids and smart meters are also a huge growth area, and proposals for a European Supergrid area already on the table. Europe is also exploring advanced geothermal techniques in the Soultz Programme.

In the Middle East, one of the most advanced projects for a low-carbon city in the world is currently taking shape near Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). But Masdar City is more than just a renewables project: it has implications which will be felt worldwide.

Check back for the latest on these and other global projects.
