By Editor | October 26, 2009
ITF has secured a three year, six figure sum contract to deliver a new energy network for the UK industry.
Part of a consortium appointed to run the network on behalf of the UK government's Technology Strategy Board (TSB), the new energy knowledge transfer network (KTN) is being unveiled at Innovate Scotland, a major business event in Aviemore this week.
ITF's KTN role is to focus on maximising oil and gas resources. The network will also deliver opportunities for developing new technologies in wind, wave and tidal, carbon abatement technologies (including carbon capture & storage and biomass), hydrogen and fuel cells and future emerging opportunities.
Neil Poxon, managing director of ITF said:
'The energy KTN has been developed by the UK government's TSB to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing between developers nationally and internationally. In doing so, this will enable our industry to identify suitable funding and partnership opportunities. Essentially, it will act as a front door to help developers receive the best support available to progress their technology development."
