The challenges of climate change demand innovative responses.   Our flagship projects in this arena are a fresh approach to carbon sequestration - harnessing the power of nature to precipitate carbonates by microbial processes - and a dialogue process to identify innovation within and around the agricultural sector.

Also in this section we feature the introduction to a series of editorials reviewing the development of Marine Energy Technologies - 'Looking for the Next Wave' - and will shortly be reviewing the plans for a major energy project - 'Spirit of Ireland'.
