Energy & Low Carbon Technologies:Introduction Energy: projected Scottish economic growth to 2015
Energy & Low Carbon Technologies:Industry Strengths • Availability of Natural Resources • Scotland’s offshore storage capacity for carbon emissions is greater than the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany combined; • Scotland is leading the world in large offshore wind farms, and has an estimated 25% of the potential European wind resource; and • Scotland has 25% of Europe’s potential tidal power and 10% of its wave potential. • Collaborative pooling in energy and climate change RDD&D through • Energy Technology Partnership (ETP) • Scottish Centre for Carbon Storage • Scottish Alliance for Geo-science Environment, Society (SAGES) • Trans-national engagement of the Scottish European Green Energy Centre (SEGEC) and Scottish Development International (SDI)
Energy & Low Carbon Technologies:Industry Opportunities • Strong policy leadership shown by the Scottish Government • New funding opportunities to co-finance the development of the low carbon economy at the EU level, through the New Entrants Reserve package, Low Carbon Communication package, and via the European Investment Bank • Opportunities for trans-national collaboration in infrastructure development in the EU through trans-European networks, the development of a North Sea electricity grid or a North Sea carbon transport and storage network
IFP Project Scottish Enterprise Lead with Strong input from Norway, Netherlands, Denmark. • Groningen--- stop-go decision!!!! • Aberdeen • Agreed transnational approach • Offshore Wind • Carbon Capture • Bio-Energy • Training Oslo Agreed Initial Focus on Offshore Wind Event May 2010 All Energy 100 + participants
All Energy 18 May2010 • Workshop Ardoe House Hotel Aberdeen • Faciltator -(Alistair Punt) • 100 + delegates Industry / Academia • Interactive participation and discussion • Identify Collective offshore wind regional supply chain challenges • Prioritised • Add detail in Focus Groups
OBJECTIVES • Prove the process and approach • Develop list of challenges Offshore Wind • Identify list of Regional projects that can attract industry support and local funding • Identify 1 or 2 Collaborative opportunities that can attract European funding
