Example questions

Some examples of possible questions are listed below. Energy is however a diverse sector so we would encourage companies to submit all of their questions, even if they are quite different from the sample questions below.  It is likely that there will still be research expertise here at Edinburgh capable of responding to them.

• How do we create a more sustainable energy system while maintaining efficiency?
• Are there alternative and more durable materials that could be used in the construction of wind turbines?
• How can robotics help us with maintenance in confined spaces?
• How can we effectively use data science and analytics to improve production?
• What are the key environmental impact considerations in offshore decommissioning and removal of assets?
• What are the health and safety considerations on a multi-lingual offshore platform?
• How can we extend the life of pipelines and offshore structures?
