We are delighted to have awarded Luc James our student energy project funding for this summer. Luc lives in Scethrog and is curently studying Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial College London. Luc’s winning proposal is to research possibilities for micro wind turbines in our area for generating energy for domestic properties or small businesses. This will include exploring challenges to small turbines from ecological, social, locational and planning perspectives and researching different turbine designs and mechanisms and their comparative generation efficiency. We will enjoy working with him on his project.

We were also delighted to hear that Billy Merrill-Glover (our 2023 summer student) has been awarded a PhD place at Manchester University studing carbon capture.
