Much as EquiMar might sound like the company behind Time Share apartments, the group is in fact, made up of 62 scientists for 11 European countries working on marine energy – that’s wave energy to you – and the south west looks set to be a leader in the renewable energy.
Professor George Smith of Exeter University’s Cornwall Campus, who leads the renewable energy group, told the PRSD: “The South West of England has a strong commitment to increasing its renewable energy generation as demonstrated by the proposed Wave Hub project off the North Cornwall Coast. Marine Renewable Energy, both wave and tidal, has the potential to provide a significant contribution to the UK’s ‘green energy’.”
And if you haven’t noticed, there’s quite a lot of coast around.
