Marine renewables, Decommissioning & introducing Josie

  • Summary

  • With Wales, the UK and many other nations now having policy targets to achieve 'zero net carbon' emissions by 2050, new ways are being developed to meet our energy demands. Wind power & solar farms are the technologies that we most often see in our day to day lives, but other sources of marine power such as wave, tide and current can also be harvested.
    In our May podcast, PCF CEO Steve Hall has three guests - first of all Kate Smith, Environmental Manager of Nova Innovation speaks about the tidal stream turbines they have developed to generate clean renewable energy at sea.
    Next up is Karen Seath, co-chair of the Society for Underwater Technology's international salvage & decommissioning committee, who talks about how the renewables sector will have learned from the experience of oil & gas companies how to safely remove all equipment at end of life, and indeed are obliged by law to do so.
    Finally we meet Josie Green, PCF's new marketing & communications manager who tells us how good it is to be back in her native Pembrokeshire to work with our team on delivering sustainable ocean and coast.
    In news commentary at the end, we mention the creation of a new Climate Change ministry in Wales led by Julie James and Lee Waters. 
    Find out more about Pembrokeshire Coastal Forum here, and our Marine Energy Wales project here.
