Renewables Scotland 2030: A discussion paper on how to transform Scotland’s energy sector by 2030

― The Scottish Government should invest in energy infrastructure and electric vehicles to meet 75% of overall energy demand by 2030.
Energy Infrastructure
― Scotland has only captured 0.06% of marine energy potential. The Scottish Government should boost R&D in wave and tidal technology, with an aim to capture 25% of marine energy resource by 2030.
