Exhibition

This year is gearing up to be one of the most exciting exhibitions we’ve ever had.

We are showcasing the vast array of marine renewables activities taking place in Orkney right now. Our exhibition stand (ORK 19 in the Orkney Pavilion of the Highlands and Islands area) will include an array of wave and tidal energy models, highlight the numerous European-funded research and innovation projects that EMEC are involved with, and feature videos of marine energy activities in Orkney.

More technologies tested than anywhere else: EMEC’s current wave and tidal energy clients span eight European countries, all testing their innovative technologies here in Scotland, and all represented on our stand at All-Energy 2017.

Scotland: EC-OG – tidal (focused for use in the offshore oil and gas sector)
Scotland: Nautricity – tidal
Scotland: Sustainable Marine Energy – tidal (featuring German company SCHOTTEL HYDRO turbines).
Belgium: Laminaria – wave
Finland: Wello – wave
Ireland: OpenHydro – tidal
Netherlands: Tocardo – tidal
Spain: Magallanes – tidal
Sweden: CorPower – wave

Come along to have a chat to find out more about the progress being made in developing these pioneering machines.

FORESEA – free access to Europe’s leading test sites: We’ll be promoting the FORESEA (Funding Ocean Renewable Energy through Strategic European Action) programme funded by Interreg North-West Europe. Pop past to find out how the programme could help you get free access to our real-sea test sites in Orkney.

EU funded research and innovation: Come and speak to us and our clients about the Horizon 2020 projects that we’re involved in (FloTEC, WaveBoost, Ocean_2G, InToTidal, and CEFOW), and OCEANERA-NET funded LAMWEC.

Witness hydrogen generation: We’ll also be showcasing the pioneering Surf ‘n’ Turf project which will convert tidal and wind energy into hydrogen. A model will be on display so you can witness hydrogen generation with your own eyes!

EMEC speed updates

We’re bringing together some of the leading players in ocean energy for a fast-paced speed update session discussing some of the R&D challenges facing the industry, as well as progress reports from the developers testing at EMEC.

This is session will take place from 1230 in the Wave & Tidal Seminar Theatre within the exhibition area (to the back of EMEC’s exhibition stand – ORK 19). There’s limited seating so best to come along early to claim your spot.
