Kerry McCarthy MP, Minister for Climate and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, visited Orkney on Wednesday 14 August to see the clean energy innovation taking place across the islands.
Tackling the climate crisis, accelerating progress towards net zero and powering the UK with clean homegrown energy are current priorities for the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero.
Visiting EMEC’s pioneering clean energy test and demonstration facilities, Minister McCarthy learnt about the important role of emerging technologies such as tidal power, wave energy, floating wind and green hydrogen in the future energy mix and how these solutions can contribute towards making Britain a clean energy superpower.
