Energy Technology Partnership (ETP) Services
-
Wind Energy Services
With 25% of Europe’s wind resource Scotland is a great location for wind power projects. ETP is forging links between Scotland’s world leading universities and the wind power industry to optimise the capacity to produce huge amounts of sustainable, clean energy. Right now ETP is actively working on projects across all areas of wind ...
-
Marine Energy Services
With some of the best and most exploitable marine renewable energy available, Scotland already has full-scale prototype wave and tidal energy generators at sea, connected and delivering energy to the UK. ETP is forging links between Scotland’s world leading universities and the marine energy industry to help wave and tidal energy contribute to a diverse and secure energy mix in the ...
-
Bio-Energy Services
With significant forest cover biomass is an important source of energy in Scotland. ETP universities are working with industry to contribute to the development of the Bioenergy industry in Scotland to reduce CO2 emissions, add to the carbon sequestration potential, enhance rural economies and help meet renewable energy ...
-
Solar Energy Services
The amount of solar radiation striking the earth over a 3 day period is equivalent to all the energy stored in all fossil fuels. To increase the harnessing of this versatile energy source ETP works with partner SISER – Scottish Institute for Solar Energy Research to develop technologies for the more diffuse light levels typical in northern climates as well as technologies for developing ...
-
Energy Utilisation in Buildings Services
Through their construction and operational lifetime, buildings in the UK are responsible for 50% of all our carbon emissions. ETP universities are working with the construction industry to significantly reduce energy usage and carbon emissions by improving energy ...
-
Energy Conversion and Storage Services
Research and development in energy conversion and storage are becoming increasingly important due to the increasing energy demand for economic and social development and it is fast becoming one of the principal challenges facing the energy sector Energy storage can be defined as simply storing energy generated during periods of low demand to use during periods of high ...

-
Carbon Capture and Storage Services
Scotland’s offshore geology coupled with our existing oil and gas infrastructure provides us with an opportunity to store millions of tonnes of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. A chain of technologies has the potential to capture high levels of CO2 created by burning fossil fuels for power generation and industrial processes and store it deep below ground. World-class research into carbon capture and storage (CCS) is ...
-
Heat Energy Services
Heat accounts for over 55% of primary energy use in Scotland and approximately 47% of CO2 emissions, broadly consistent with the picture for heating (and cooling) across the UK and the rest of Europe. The Scottish Government's 2015 Heat Policy Statement states that the challenge facing Scotland is to "...largely decarbonise its heat system by 2050, to reduce greenhouse gas ...
