Children's book: Gaia's Energy Adventure
Gaia is worried about our changing climate. When her toy bear Ursa comes to life, he takes her on an exciting adventure to show her ways we can make clean energy from the wind and oceans, giving Gaia and her friends and family a better, brighter future.
A new children’s adventure book in offshore renewable energy (ORE) has been launched by the Supergen ORE Hub.
The book is authored by Kate Marvelyan, illustrated by Lucy Pulleyblank, designed by Liz Baldin and edited and project managed by Donna Wood. It has been published by the University of Plymouth Press.

The role of offshore renewable energy research in mitigating climate change
By transitioning to clean and sustainable energy generation we can mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, and offshore renewable energy has a vital part to play in the clean energy mix for the UK.
To celebrate the COP26 Energy Presidency Theme, we've launched our new Supergen ORE Hub video examining the role of offshore renewable energy research in mitigating climate change. Take a look to hear from the Hub Co-Directors and discover how we’re addressing some of the key research challenges in offshore wind, wave and tidal energy on the route to delivering net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
