Our Innovation Engineer Ieuan joined the Glasgow Science Centre on one of their 'Curious About' episodes. This session was broadcast live and delves into what a career in the renewable energy industry might look like. We explore Scotland’s role in generating wave energy, and leuan gives insights into his role as an Innovation Engineer with WES.
Transition Talks - Net Zero Technology Insights
A study by the University of Plymouth has revealed that wave energy has the potential to supply 15% of the UK’s annual electricity. Scotland, with its excellent wave resources, is a pioneer in the deployment of test and demonstration devices for wave and tidal technologies. However, there are factors hindering the industry from large-scale development.
In this episode Elva Bannon, Research and Engineering Manager at Wave Energy Scotland, discusses the potential of harnessing the power of waves to generate energy. Examining the current state of technology development, we explore the key challenges faced by the industry.
Listen nowWe are committed to inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators, so reach out if you would like to request a school STEM visit, want a copy of our educational explainer video, or have any other ideas on how we can support Scotland's education on wave energy.
