Orkney International Science Festival 2017
EMEC will be involved in the following aspects of this year’s Orkney International Science Festival:
Hydrogen for Orkney
13 September 2017, 11:30am – 12:30pm
A new European project to be launched later this month will bring ten hydrogen-powered vans to Orkney. The aim is to tackle grid constraints by turning surplus electricity into hydrogen for local transport, as Nigel Holmes of the Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association and Jon Clipsham of EMEC explains, with the help of local participants.
The tides of Ushant
13 September 2017, 2:00pm – 3:00pm
The island of Ushant off the coast of Brittany now generates much of its own electricity from the fast tides. Denis Bredin sets the scene with pictures of the island and its beaches and lighthouses. Speakers from SABELLA and EDF describe the tidal power scheme.
This session will be chaired by EMEC’s Managing Director, Neil Kermode.
