I am very pleased to announce that, at a ceremony on Friday evening, this year's George Smith Medal was awarded to an Jan Dillenburger-Keenan for his portfolio thesis entitled “Increasing Knowledge Return from Data for Floating Tidal Energy”. The George Smith medal is awarded each year by IDCORE - EPSRC and NERC Industrial CDT for Offshore Renewable Energy to the best thesis submitted before the 31st of August (i.e. within the funding period). This year the judges had three thesis to consider. All were of an exceptionally high standard and really demonstrated the breadth and impact of #IDCORE projects. This year’s winner is a portfolio rather than a thesis, with (although this is not the reason for being the winner) a title which really encapsulates what IDCORE seeks to achieve. Please join me in congratulating Jan on his achievement 👏 .

We have signed an agreement with Orbital Marine Power Ltd to commence the certification process for the world’s most powerful tidal energy converter (TEC). Once in operation, Orbital’s next generation O2-X TEC will be capable of delivering 2.4MW of electrical power.

It was our pleasure to host the new Climate Minister, Kerry McCarthy MP, in Orkney last week who was inspired to see the clean energy innovation taking place across the islands: "The advancements in #tidalpower, #waveenergy and #greenhydrogen exemplify the kind of homegrown solutions that will boost our energy independence, create jobs and tackle climate change." Visiting EMEC's clean energy demonstration sites, the Minister was introduced to various local and UK companies driving the development of a clean energy future including Orbital Marine Power Ltd, Windracers, Orkney Islands Council, Leask Marine Ltd, Green Marine (UK) Ltd, Aquatera Ltd, Xodus, The Islands Centre for Net Zero and West of Orkney Windfarm.
