This year’s Orkney International Science Festival will see significant wave energy players presenting and discussing this specific renewable energy industry.
EMEC’s managing director, Neil Kermode, will introduce speakers from key sections of the new marine renewables industry – developers, support service providers, researchers – to give a picture of where it’s at and where it’s going in the year ahead. Stromness-based Joe Thompson from Pelamis will round-up the highlights of the last year and discuss future plans for Pelamis Wave Power.
‘Wave and Tide – The Year Ahead’ will be held on September 5 at the Orkney Arts Theatre in Kirkwall. This year’s Festival covers the 7 days of 4-10 September, with over 60 events on astronomy, earth sciences, energy, medicine, archaeology etc.
