Scotland: Energy Resources and Industry
Energy Technology Partnership (ETP)
Knowledge Exchange - examples
Summary
Scotland: Energy Resources and
Industry
• Large energy resource, conventional and
renewable;
• Priority industry with ca. 2500 companies
(oil/gas, >2000; power generation &
utilities, 200-250; renewables, 150-200);
• Gross Value Added to the Scottish
economy is some £18 billion, one of the
highest of all industry sectors;
• More that 100,000 energy jobs with
potential for 60,000 additional ‘green
jobs’;
• Strong KE track record but potential for
much more.

Industry Doctorate Programme
£4m programme. 50 SPIRIT-funded students, with a
further 50 in phase 2 to deliver >100 Energy Industry
Doctorates over 5 years. First intake October 2010;
Industry are co-investors, support project specification and
engage directly with the research and other planned KE
activities (workshops, summer schools etc.);
Doctorates will quickly contribute to industry, increase
research capacity of ETP and significantly enhance energy
sector KE and innovation.
