'Pioneering engineering in the most inhospitable environment on earth'

摘要

UK engineers aiming to produce an affordable alternative to diesel for remote coastal communities have clinched third place in a US government competition. The achievement by AWS Ocean Energy, a small Inverness-based company, was an incredible feat given the challenges in the marine energy research and development sector. The firm's boss, Simon Grey, has been involved in renewable energy generation since childhood. His first generator was a wind-powered device using oil drums and bicycle parts.
