Energy Research Pooling and KE Scotland: Energy Resources and Industry Energy Technology Partnership (ETP) Knowledge Exchange - examples Summary

Scotland: Energy Resources and Industry • Large energy resource, conventional and renewable; • Priority industry with ca. 2500 companies (oil/gas, >2000; power generation & utilities, 200 -250; renewables, 150 -200); • Gross Value Added to the Scottish economy is some £ 18 billion, one of the highest of all industry sectors; • More that 100, 000 energy jobs with potential for 60, 000 additional ‘green jobs’; • Strong KE track record but potential for much more.

The Energy Technology Partnership is. . . An alliance of Scottish Universities, engaged in world class energy related Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) 250 academics + 600 researchers = + Scale Substance Largest, most broad based power and energy research partnership in Europe

Technology Focus Areas Wind energy Marine energy Bio-energy Solar energy Energy materials Power systems and networks Built environment / DSM Energy conversion and storage Oil and gas Carbon capture and storage

Strategic Objectives - strong focus on knowledge exchange Capacity Building Relationship Building Internationalisation Economic Impact "Deepening and broadening existing relationships and partnerships to promote increased collaboration. " "Promoting the expertise and capabilities within the ETP, to develop new strategic relationships industry, "Projecting thewith scale and academia and others. " expertise of the ETP on the international stage in order to promote new outreach and knowledge exchange opportunities. " "Connecting the work of the ETP with Scottish Policy and economic development opportunities for Scotland. "
