Scotland: Energy Resources and Industry

Energy Technology Partnership (ETP)

Knowledge Exchange - examples

Summary

Energy Research Pooling and KE Energy Research Pooling and KE

• 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.

Industry Doctorate Programme Industry Doctorate Programme

£4m programme. 50 SPIRIT-funded students, with a further 50 in phase 2 to deliver >100 Energy Industry Doctorates over 5 years. First intake October 2010;

Industry are co-investors, support project specification and engage directly with the research and other planned KE activities (workshops, summer schools etc.);

Doctorates will quickly contribute to industry, increase research capacity of ETP and significantly enhance energy sector KE and innovation.
