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.
The country of five million has natural resources “unrivaled” across Europe, such as 25 percent of the continent’s offshore wind resources and 10 percent of its wave potential. The push for renewables comes in response to the looming threat of climate change, the single most pressing issue facing the planet.
