Supply chains for low carbon electricity infrastructure
The energy transition relies on complex supply chains including mining and manufacturing. How are these supply chains changing and what are the challenges?
A tidal energy barrage across the Severn Estuary could produce up to 5% of the UK’s electricity demand. It would help meet renewable energy targets but would have significant environmental impacts. This POSTnote summarises evidence on environmental impacts associated with the operation of tidal energy barrages and the effectiveness of compensatory measures.
