Orcadian companies leading marine energy in Asia

The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) Ltd, has announced another major international collaboration agreement, in which the world-leading test facility will assist in the development of a marine energy centre in Taiwan.

A memorandum of understanding had been signed between EMEC and the National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU), the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and another Orkney based consultancy company, Aquatera.

This partnership adds to EMEC’s reach across continental Asia, having signed similar agreements with the Ocean Energy Association of Japan, Ocean University of China, and Incheon Metropolitan City in South Korea over the last year.
