Marine Energy: Harnessing the Ocean’s Power | Islands of the Future: Orkney | FD Engineering

Geothermal Power - Untapped Energy Beneath Our Feet:

The world is in an energy crisis that’s getting worse all the time. Oil and gas cost more and more. Coal is fuelling global climate change. In Europe especially, people are searching for ways of freeing themselves from the fetters of fossil fuels. And answers to this challenge are being found in the sea, off the coast of the continent – on the islands of Europe. Life here, far from the mainland and major cities, has always meant looking for means of survival. Through their history and mentality islanders are well equipped for mastering the transition to a new energy future. They have always had to cope with restricted space and limited resources and find their own way.

The Orkney Islands north of Scotland have taken a different route. The archipelago is a rugged place. The winds roar here incessantly and the Atlantic breakers have created a craggy cliff coastline. Situated in the east of the main island of the Orkneys is the small town of Stromness. It’s here that an institution is based that’s unique in Europe: the EMEC, the European Marine Energy Centre.
