Scotland will offer the world’s largest prize to date for spurring advances in marine renewable energy, the country’s head of state announced today.
The Saltire Prize, of 20 million U.S. dollars, will go to innovators from any nation who design environmentally friendly ocean technology, such as better ways to harness tidal and wind power.
“This will ensure Scotland will be at the forefront of the battle against climate change and the move toward a new energy era,” Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond told an audience at the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The competitors will demonstrate their inventions in Scotland.
