Green Cornwall Programme … a low carbon economy, more renewable energy & a thriving living environment Photo: Ground Source Heat Pump Manufacture in Cornwall Kensa Engineering

The UK’s broadest combination of onshore and offshore natural resources for renewable energy Wind and solar Biomass & Anaerobic Digestion Geothermal & ground source Wave Target for council: energy self-sufficient by 2025 Renewable energy is a key element of Cornwall’s Green Cornwall Programme

Key reasons for a robust, integrated and cohesive renewable energy programme: Energy security (Peak Oil) / resilience Climate change Create a low carbon economy Reduce Fuel Poverty Generate electricity and heat and retain profit Ambition & Leadership

Electricity consumption and renewable energy capacity in Cornwall 2009 Last 12 months : increase 40Mw+ installed capacity

Council long term ambition for marine energy to stimulate innovation, accelerate growth, business development, jobs and skills in our local economy Wave Hub FaBTest Falmouth and Hayle harbour offshore development PRIMaRE MERiFIC SW Marine Energy Park

The University of Exeter in partnership with the University of Plymouth have formed the Peninsula Research Institute for Marine Energy (PRIMaRE) PRIMaRE is a centre of excellence delivering world- class research and technology transfer in marine energy

Cornwall’s MERiFIC Partners University of Exeter (Tremough)

Cornwall’s MERiFIC Partners University of Plymouth The Marine Institute represents a large pool of world-leading experts integrating our multidisciplinary expertise in marine research, education and innovation New marine building providing wave and tidal tank testing

..a membership owned organisation which aims to improve and grow the prosperity of the Cornish marine sector, to maintain and increase marine job opportunities, to improve the skills of the workforce and to encourage networking between members Cornwall’s MERiFIC Partners
