Shell is on the hunt for small businesses with big ideas on the environment.
The oil group this week launched its annual search for innovative product ideas that lead to a reduction in greenhouse gasses. The winner of last year’s inaugural £40,000 award was Scotrenewables, an Orkney-based tidal power company that developed a free floating, rotar-based tidal current energy converter.
Runner-up Mantle Panel, created a new material for the building trade with high insulation and load-bearing properties.
