SUMMARY:Accessible and Inclusive Agritourism
DESCRIPTION:Join Scotland’s Agritourism Monitor Farms Programme for an informative event focused on accessibility and inclusion within the agritourism sector. We are delighted to welcome Moira Henderson\, The Rings\, to talk about her experience setting up and developing a successful accessible agritourism business. \nWhether you are just starting out or running an established business\, you will benefit from hearing from Moira who brings a wealth of experience in this area and who will be ready to answer all your questions. \nMoira grew up on the West coast of Scotland married David in 1980 and they moved to Fife. They have four adult children & seven grandchildren. David lectured at Elmwood Agricultural College\, and Moira was a Registered General Nurse. They bought the family farm in 1988\, setting up the partnership of Firm of M.C. Henderson. The business was mostly sheep and crops but later expanded to include egg production and retail. The farm had two holiday caravans which Moira used to supplement David’s income and keep the small 90 acres going for many years\, however when these came to the end of their “life” the family was keen to develop holiday accommodation which would meet the needs of those with disabilities. \nThis farm diversification began as a simple idea to provide a cottage with a ceiling track hoist but resulted in the completion of The Rings cottage in 2016. In 2018\, Moira was awarded an MBE for services to Accessible Tourism in Fife. \nThe Rings now includes a uniquely divideable cottage with 8 fully accessible bedrooms with ensuite wetrooms. The cottage is fully inclusive of those with access needs providing hoists\, profiling beds and equipment such as shower chairs; but you don’t have to break a leg to come and stay\, they don’t discriminate against you if you don’t have a disability!

SUMMARY:Innovative Horizons: Exploring Floating Offshore Substations\, CCS Shipping\, Hydrogen\, and Flow Assurance
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by member company Crondall Energy and supported by Forth & Tay Offshore. \nWe are delighted to be bringing you an opportunity to attend focused technical topics that are crucial to delivering the UK’s net zero ambitions. \nThis session will look at; Developing practical solutions for floating offshore wind substations\, Opportunities and considerations for CO2 shipping\, maximising the efficiency of grid scale hydrogen production\, & CCS Transport and Storage Operational Challenges. \nYou can choose to attend two sessions out of the four available topics. More information on each topic: \n\nDeveloping practical solutions for floating offshore wind (FOW)\n\nAs developers venture further offshore and into deeper waters to harness wind power\, practical solutions are required for the transfer of power to shore. Floating and subsea substations are receiving a growing interest for floating offshore wind developments\, as they potentially provide a cost-competitive alternative to traditional fixed platforms. This presentation will provide an overview of the latest challenges and limitations associated with the transmission of power to shore. The different types of substations\, their key design features\, and their applicability will be presented. The current status of technology development will be outlined along with a discussion of the pros and cons of each approach. \n\nOpportunities and considerations for CO2 shipping\n\nCO2 shipping is being considered for an increasing proportion of CCS projects\, as a means of increasing sequestered volumes and therefore revenue. There are a multitude of ship designs and offloading concepts being considered with different offloading locations\, and pressure regimes. This presentation will provide an overview of the offloading options being considered and the opportunities of different pressure regimes \n\nMaximising the efficiency of grid scale hydrogen production\n\nCrondall Energy have recently completed a concept study focusing on developing the optimum grid scale hydrogen production facility\, considering the full envelop from electrical generation to by products and H2 production. This presentation will provide a holistic overview of the technical risks and opportunities for large scale hydrogen production directly from renewable sources. Presenting the key design decisions and considerations to maximise the efficiency of the complete H2 production system\, not just the electrolyser. \n\nCCS Transport and Storage Operational Challenges\n\nWe will discuss the main issues to be addressed in CCUS for pipeline CO2 transportation and operability considerations. Practical experience in developing associated solutions will also be presented. \nAgenda\n\n10:00 – 10:10 – Introduction and move to meeting rooms\n10:10 – 10:30 – Session 1\n10:30 – 10:35 – Transfer between rooms\n10:35 – 10:55 – Session 2\n10:55 – 11:00 – close out
