The University of Plymouth's position at the forefront of the UK's offshore renewable energy revolution is to be further enhanced through a major new investment.
The Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Impact Hub, which is led by the University, has been awarded £7.5million by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council - part of UK Research and Innovation - to accelerate the impact of current and future ORE devices and systems and to drive the UK towards it net zero commitments.
The investment forms part a £53million investment by UK Research and Innovation designed to boost knowledge, innovation and new technologies that will decarbonise the energy sector.
The Impact Hub will build on work carried out by the existing Supergen ORE Hub, created in July 2018 to champion and maintain the UK's wave, tidal and offshore wind expertise.
It will be led by Professor Deborah Greaves OBE FREng, Director of the Centre for Decarbonisation and Offshore Renewable Energy at the University of Plymouth, and brings together a network of academic, industrial and policy stakeholders.
