Scottish Energy Developments and Innovation in Marine and Low Carbon Technologies

Slide Note

Scotland's energy sector is pioneering climate-friendly initiatives towards decarbonization by 2030. The focus lies on supporting renewable energy sources, enhancing energy system flexibility, efficiency, and resilience, and promoting the marine sector's advancements in tidal energy projects. The commitment to sustainable energy solutions is highlighted through various initiatives and collaborations aiming for a greener future in energy production and consumption.

Climate friendly, climate ready, climate just By 2030 Scotland's electricity system will be wholly decarbonised and supply a growing share of Scotland's energy needs. www.scottish-enterprise.com www.scottish-enterprise.com

New Strategy under consultation continuing to support the recovery of North Sea oil and gas as a highly regulated source of hydrocarbon fuels; supporting the demonstration and commercialisation of Carbon Capture and Storage and CO2 Utilisation; exploring the role of new energy sources in Scotland's energy system; increasing renewable energy generation; and increasing the flexibility, efficiency, and resilience of the energy system as a whole. draft Onshore Wind Policy Statement, Scotland s Energy Efficiency Programme, Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies and Regulation of District Heating, and Unconventional Oil and Gas. www.scottish-enterprise.com www.scottish-enterprise.com

CfDs The marine sector has progressed more in 2016 than in any previous year and Scottish firms are in a dominant position. Edinburgh firm Nova Innovation has deployed the first two turbines of its Shetland Tidal Array; Atlantis Resources has installed the first four foundations of the world's largest planned tidal stream array in the Meygen project in the Pentland Firth; and Orkney-based Scotrenewables has begun testing the world's largest tidal turbine device at our flagship European Marine Energy Centre. In this triumphant moment for the sector, it is extremely disappointing that BEIS has reneged on its earlier commitment to provide a minimum allocation for wave and tidal stream technologies. We look forward to detailed discussions with the UK Government to agreeing a way forward for this exciting industry. We are determined to do all we can to ensure the tidal energy sector, with its potential to generate sustainable jobs, is taken forward in Scotland. www.scottish-enterprise.com www.scottish-enterprise.com

Diversification East Coast Oil and Gas Subsea Power Hub comprises a novel seabed turbine that will use ocean currents to generate electricity which is then stored in batteries. Electrical failures within subsea umbilical cords are the primary failure point for offshore oil and gas production.

Support Wave Energy Scotland - With the award of the recent Structural Materials Call, the WES technology programme now has 36 current projects involving 130 organisations from across industry and academia. This brings the total investment by the organisation in wave energy development to 15 million. OCEANERA-NET: Second Joint Call for collaborative R&D project. 7 full proposals with Scottish partners submitted, evaluation to be completed mid October. Programme of workshops and joint activities planned for the remainder of the project (to November 2017). OCEANERA-NET COFUND: funding approved and first call envisaged for Q1 2017. SE lead with seven other countries / regions Ireland, Spain, Basque Country, Portugal, Sweden, Pay de la Loire, Brittany. Cofunded call budget 18m. www.scottish-enterprise.com www.scottish-enterprise.com
