• Scotland’s marine area contains 25%
of Europe’s tidal energy resource.
• Orkney Islands and the Pentland
Firth contain the biggest part of this resource.
C Sini 5 Solar Energy • It is a renewable energy that creates no harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
• Currently, solar energy can power
around 90,000 homes in Scotland. • Potentially, Scotland could provide nearly a third of Scotland’s current electricity needs. • A typical domestic rooftop 4kWp solar PV system in Scotland can generate about 3,400kWh of electricity a year.
C Sini 6 Benefits of Renewable Energies • Less global warming→ renewable energies produce little to no global warming emissions.
• Inexhaustible energy→ Renewable
energies can provide a vast and constant supply of energy. • Economic advantage→ they operate at a very low cost.
• They are healthier.
C Sini 7 Embracing a Sustainable Future Together • Scotland stands as a testament to innovation and commitment towards a sustainable future.
• It is imperative that we actively
support the transition towards cleaner, sustainable energy systems.
