What we offer

What is the ICAN? The ICAN network is designed to inspire and empower communities to take climate action by connecting with other island groups and organisations.

The interactive dashboard below shows the 2022-23 greenhouse gas emissions baselines for Orkney, Shetland and the Outer Hebrides that were developed through the ICNZ project. The units are in kilotons of carbon dioxide equivalent[1].

Heriot-Watt University is the research project partner of ICNZ, responsible for running Transition Engineering Labs which carry out locally relevant research to help solve problems where solutions are not yet known. What is Transition Engineering?

Household Carbon Calculator … Introduction … Island communities are both more vulnerable to climate change and have a have a greater challenge to overcome in the transition to net zero due to their remoteness and reliance on fossil derived fuels for energy.

ICNZ brings together local communities, businesses, experts and researchers to help investigate, test and scale new ideas that will help reduce emissions, improve operational efficiency and support a sustainable future in the islands. Why Engage with ICNZ?

The Orkney Islands Live Energy Dashboard displays real-time renewable energy generation, electricity demand, and grid import/export data for Orkney. Data is sourced from SSEN's Active Network Management (ANM) system and updates every 15 minutes.
