Scottish Renewables has announced the shortlist for its Net-Zero Energy Transition Awards, headline-sponsored by TotalEnergies.
Taking place in Aberdeen on August 24, the black-tie awards will see 30 individuals, companies and projects from across Scotland’s renewable energy supply chain compete to scoop prizes in eight categories recognising their efforts to deliver the energy transition.
Turriff based Ace Winches is up for the Green Business Growth Award for providing complex, high-end engineering solutions for a variety of industries, notably the renewable energy sector.
Other finalists include Peel Ports, nominated in the Sustainable Supplier category for its commitment to delivering sustainable growth by minimising its environmental impact and reducing carbon emissions and Ace Aquatec, based in Dundee shortlisted in the Technology and Innovation category for its collaboration with Ocean Health to build upon a series of successful offshore construction campaigns that used innovative acoustic devices to protect marine life from physiological harm.
A who’s who of Scotland’s energy transition sector are expected at this year’s awards to see Scotland’s clean energy industry celebrate the achievements of its growing supply chain.
Head of Energy Transition and Supply Chain at Scottish Renewables, Emma Harrick said: “We were thrilled to receive such a huge number of applications for this year’s awards and I was really impressed by the quality of applications.
“Our judges had a hard task to decide on this year’s finalists but this shortlist represents the innovation, skills and engineering know-how required in our just transition to a cleaner, greener future.
“Delivering the energy transition projects we need to reduce our carbon emissions, re-skill and re-shape our workforce and reach our climate targets is a huge task, but one that offers enormous economic and environmental benefits.
