Oxford researchers have developed a new tidal turbine that has the potential to harness tidal energy more efficiently and cheaply.  Now the technology has been licensed to new company, Kepler Energy Limited, formed to develop the tidal turbine and to build the device simply, more robust and more scaleable than current commercial designs. The turbine […]
