[Stronsaylimpet] Orkney International Science Festival - energy in Orkney

[Limpet editor]

/From Orkney International Science Festival on Facebook:/
There are big fundamental questions about energy starting to surface in 
Orkney - and in particular about the cost: so how can Orkney's 
renewables produce cheaper electricity for local households and 
businesses? That leads into an even bigger question: what should Orkney 
do with its abundant energy? Should it simply export it all to 
industries elsewhere - or create some industries of its own? And how do 
we get the benefits of industry without further industrialising the 
landscape?
Two people ideally placed to tackle such questions are Neil Kermode of 
European Marine Energy Centre - EMEC and Dr Gareth Davies of Aquatera 
Ltd, and they will do so in the opening session of the Orkney Climate 
COP on Monday 8 September.
We'll be glad to hear your questions here, or you can email them to us 
at orkneyscience at gmail.com.
There are questions too about transport options - is it electrification 
for vehicles and ferries, or is methanol or ammonia or synthetic 
hydrocarbon the fuel of the future?
Could direct atmospheric or marine carbon capture, using local energy, 
be the industry of the future? And for offshore wind servicing, have we 
missed the boat?
The Orkney Climate COP is supported by the Highlands & Islands Climate Hub.
