We are delighted to announce that IDCORE has won two awards at the Scottish Green Energy Awards 2020!

The first was a ‘Contribution to Skills Award’ for the IDCORE centre (Universities of Edinburgh, Exeter, Strathclyde and the Scottish Association for Marine Sciences, funded by EPSRC and NERC).

The second was an award for IDCORE Research Engineer, James Ferguson, in the ‘Young and Inspiring’ category.  James is sponsored by the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), based in Orkney, and he is working on hydrogen production from Orkney’s renewable resources.  Many congratulations to James!
