Her expertise in carbon reduction strategies and commitment to developing sustainable solutions have made a significant impact at J+S Subsea.

Her achievements reflect the core values of J+S Subsea, demonstrating how young professionals are shaping the future of sustainable energy. 

Speaking about her award, Kairvee said:
“It is an incredible honour to receive the Young Professional Award. Sustainability and decarbonisation are at the heart of everything we do at J+S Subsea, and I am proud to contribute to the industry’s transition towards a cleaner, more responsible future. This recognition is not just for me, but for the entire team working towards these goals.”

“Kairvee’s dedication and expertise are truly inspiring. She represents the next generation of leaders in sustainable energy, and we are delighted to see her hard work recognised on such a prestigious platform. This award is a testament to her passion and commitment to making a real difference.” 

The Decarb Scotland Conference brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss the latest advancements in industrial decarbonisation, renewable energy, and sustainable development. The Young Professional Award highlights emerging talent who are driving the industry forward through knowledge, leadership, and innovative thinking. 

J+S Subsea extends its congratulations to Kairvee on this well-deserved achievement and looks forward to continuing its commitment to sustainability and energy transition in the subsea sector.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
