An €11.8 million ITEG project, funded by Interreg North-West Europe, has opened a survey whose goal is to measure the acceptance level within society towards renewable energy in general (wind turbines and solar panels), renewable marine energies (tidal and wave energy), and hydrogen.
The goal of ITEG project is to develop and validate an integrated tidal energy and hydrogen production solution for clean energy generation that will be demonstrated in Orkney.
The project, taking place from 2017 to 2022, will ultimately seek to address energy-related carbon emissions in North West Europe and tackle grid export limitations faced by remote…
