Brief description of my Organisation
An not-for-profit innovation catalyst pioneering the transition to a clean energy future.
EMEC is the world’s leading accredited test and inspection body for demonstrating ocean energy technologies in the sea, spanning components and subsystems to full-scale demonstration. EMEC support its clients and projects with operational, metocean, environmental and consenting services as well as providing independent inspection and power performance assessments.
To date, 35 marine energy converters have been deployed at EMEC’s sites in Orkney, Scotland; more than at any other single site in the world.
EMEC is also pioneering the development of a low-carbon economy, having established an R&D ecosystem for green hydrogen, battery storage and energy systems. EMEC R&D infrastructure features electrolysers, fuel cells, storage and refuelling, for first-of-a-kind and pilot scale projects exploring how to decarbonise power, heat and transport applications and support the transition to a clean energy future. Projects range from renewables integration, storage and logistics, through to end-use case demonstrations, particularly within the maritime and aviation sectors.
The world’s first tidal-powered hydrogen was generated at EMEC’s tidal test site in 2017
