| Abstract | The BREIS project (2004-06) analysed the emerging marine energy innovation system in Scotland and the UK, and recent policy measures to promote this system. It found significant progress in marine energy innovation since the 2003 White Paper, with a number of new prototype designs emerging, and the progression of a few leading demonstration devices. At the same time, the sector still faces many challenges. International evidence suggests an important role for social capital and collaborative learning in early-stage renewables innovation, and there have been a number of Scottish and UK policy initiatives to promote networking and interaction. While these are having some success, the wider UK energy system is dominated by financial capital, and commercially-driven marine energy device developers have limited engagement in collaborative learning. International comparisons in renewable energy may underplay important differences of institutional context. | |
