我们研究了安装3吉瓦海洋能源容量将对苏格兰产生的经济和环境影响。这不是一个预测，而是对通过发展海洋能源部门实现苏格兰政府可再生能源目标的可能影响的预测。能源，特别是可再生能源，被苏格兰政府视为“关键部门”，具有高增长潜力和提高生产力的能力（苏格兰政府，2007年a）。政府经济战略。苏格兰政府，爱丁堡）。通过为可再生能源设定实现环境和经济效益的目标，确定了这一部门的关键性质。使用区域可计算一般均衡（CGE）模型的苏格兰，我们表明，海洋能源部门的发展可以有实质性的和有益的影响，国内生产总值，就业和环境在整个生命周期的设备，鼓励强有力的本地产业间的联系。此外，还有大量的“遗留”效应，在器械的设计寿命之外仍然存在。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
We examine the economic and environmental impact that the installation of 3 GW of marine energy capacity would have on Scotland. This is not a forecast, but a projection of the likely effects of meeting the Scottish Government's targets for renewable energy through the development of a marine energy sector. Energy, with a particular focus on renewables, is seen by the Scottish Government as a "key sector", with high growth potential and the capacity to boost productivity (Scottish Government, 2007a. The Government Economic Strategy. The Scottish Government, Edinburgh). The key nature of this sector has been identified through targets being set for renewable energy to achieve environmental and economic benefits. Using a regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of Scotland we show that the development of a marine energy sector can have substantial and beneficial impacts on GDP, employment and the environment over the lifetime of the devices, given the encouragement of strong indigenous inter-industry linkages. Furthermore, there are also substantial "legacy" effects that persist well beyond the design life of the devices. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
