By Brian Milligan, Business reporter, BBC News, Island of Hoy

On Orkney Islands in the UK, the Ocean Power Delivery company is pioneering a wave energy project, and has built a site for the world's biggest wave farm so far, which comprise four 40 metres long steel tubes, which float on the surface of the sea.
