Getting organisational buy-in for clean energy and low carbon strategy
This webinar is designed to help employers turn climate ambition into organisational action. With organisations facing increasing costs, regulation and expectations to become low carbon, this session explores proven approaches for embedding clean energy and low carbon strategies across the workforce and wider value chain.

Embedding PAS 2080 across infrastructure and supply chains
PAS 2080:2023 is established as the UK’s leading framework for managing whole-life carbon across infrastructure, aligned with the UK’s legally binding net-zero by 2050 target. This webinar explores how PAS 2080 translates decarbonisation policy into delivery through structured carbon management processes, increasingly acting as a licence to operate across major programmes. Designed for asset owners, designers, contractors and suppliers, you’ll gain insight into implementation across the value chain, including defined roles, integration of carbon quantification into decision-making, and the use of consistent metrics to support procurement and design optimisation. We’ll also highlight how baseline setting, whole-life carbon assessment (including Scope 1–3) and targeted carbon reduction strategies enable measurable, auditable outcomes.

Net Zero in Action: Chartered Environmentalists Leading the Way
Chartered Environmentalists are at the forefront of action to reach net zero – utilising their environmental expertise to instil client trust, transition to low carbon practices, lead departments, make strategic decisions, advise Governments and work as highly skilled practitioners. For Net Zero Week, join this webinar hosted by the Society for the Environment (SocEnv) to discover how Chartered Environmentalists are applying their proven skills and expertise – and embracing the benefits that come with their registration – to deliver net zero in practice.

The role of Ammonia in Future Energy Systems
This webinar explores the emerging role of ammonia in future energy systems, focusing on its potential as a carbon-free energy carrier for large-scale storage, transportation, and end-use applications. The session examines how ammonia can overcome key challenges associated with hydrogen infrastructure by enabling safer, more efficient, and economically viable energy distribution. Particular attention will be given to aqua-ammonia as a promising liquid medium with higher volumetric energy density and improved handling characteristics for applications such as space heating and decentralized energy systems. The webinar will also discuss future ammonia production pathways, including low-carbon and renewable routes, alongside the integration of ammonia across transportation networks, storage systems, and industrial and residential end users. By mapping the full ammonia value chain, the session aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on the opportunities and challenges of ammonia-based energy systems in the transition toward net-zero energy futures.

Reclaiming Net Zero
Net zero strategies are not being abandoned – they’re being refined. Amid a perfect storm of geopolitical uncertainty and fossil fuel volatility, recalibrations of climate plans can present an opportunity for firms to prioritise what matters: near-term delivery, phasing out fossil fuels, transparency on offsets and lobbying for climate action. Making plans more credible can also drive security, competitiveness and resilience – but only if ambition is matched by delivery. This event explores how recalibrating net zero plans can strengthen competitiveness, resilience and delivery. It will examine how evolving accountability standards and new approaches – both inside and beyond supply chains – can move societal net zero from ambition to implementation.

- The Climate Trunk
- Live, Online + Delegate Q&A
Climate Trunk and the age of climate whataboutism
Climate and energy are enormously complex. Facts alone don’t help without context and coherence – and without a strong foundation, knowledge can quickly fall away. Climate Trunk is designed to fix that. This event introduces Climate Trunk: A visual guide to making sense of climate and energy. Built around metaphor, visuals before words and storytelling with data, the project is designed to help people hold the big picture together – from science and impacts to solutions, misinformation and net zero. The session will explore why climate communication so often fails to cut through and unpack some of the most familiar climate ‘whataboutisms’, including: ‘But what about China?’, ‘But the climate has always changed’, ‘But we’re less than 1% of global emissions’ and ‘But can’t we just adapt?’ At a time of confusion, polarisation and information overload, Climate Trunk aims to provide a grounded, evidence-based framework for understanding climate, net zero and energy.

Leading Net Zero Under Pressure: Unlocking Collective Intelligence
Achieving the UK’s net zero commitments is no longer just a technical or policy challenge; it is a leadership challenge under intense pressure. Organisations across infrastructure, energy and engineering are being asked to innovate faster, with tighter budgets, greater public scrutiny and increasingly complex stakeholder expectations, while also securing public and political support and driving real behavioural change. Leadership approaches that were shaped in a more stable, predictable world can struggle in today’s landscape of new technologies, diverse communities and contested transitions. This session explores how harnessing collective intelligence can help leaders navigate that complexity and unlock the innovation needed for net zero. Instead of relying only on a small senior group, we look at what becomes possible when leaders actively draw on the full range of perspectives, experiences and ways of thinking already present in their organisations and wider systems, to reveal blind spots, reduce risk and open up new pathways.

GIMDES ... Generation Integrated Medium Duration Energy Storage
From the earliest days of electricity systems, there has always been heavy reliance on energy storage. Energy was stored in a compact and dense form close to the point where it could be turned into electricity. Usually, that energy was in the form of hydrocarbon fuels that release CO2 when burned. With decarbonisation, we are turning to renewables for capturing primary energy and it is not obvious to most people that the opportunity to store energy prior to generating electricity still exists. It does. Moreover, some of the storage technologies best suited to the multi-hour (medium-duration) timescales that are most relevant for integrating renewables are also particularly compatible with integration. This webinar lifts the lid on a set of technical possibilities that could have very strong economic importance for countries and continents navigating towards the enviable "100% renewables" status.

The Battery-Electrolyser: Power Storage Meets Clean Hydrogen Production
What if a battery could do more than store energy, what if it could help generate clean fuel? Researchers at Loughborough University have developed a pioneering new technology: the battery-electrolyser. Built on the foundation of lead-acid battery chemistry, this system functions like a conventional battery but with an important twist. When a controlled overcharge is applied, the water in the electrolyte is split into hydrogen and oxygen, allowing for the collection of pure hydrogen gas as a fuel source. This innovation offers a low-cost, renewable-compatible solution to energy storage and hydrogen generation, particularly valuable in regions where access to stable energy is limited. A pilot deployment is already underway in Malawi, demonstrating its real-world impact. At this Energy Research Accelerator event, Professor Dani Strickland will explore the design of the battery-electrolyser, its safety and manufacturing considerations, and its potential to support distributed energy systems. The talk will also highlight the role of researchers from the EnerHy Centre for Doctoral Training, who are helping to bring the technology into use.

The Role of Green Gas in Net Zero
The cost of meeting Britain’s net zero targets in 2050 could be nearly £300 billion less than official projections, according to an analysis drawing on the computer model used by Whitehall. The savings over the period to 2050 – equivalent to £415 for every household every year – would come about from a greater use of home-grown renewable green gas in the energy mix. The analysis commissioned by the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) and conducted by BMA (Business Modelling Applications) draws on the AI-assisted whole energy system model used by the UK’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and the National Energy System Operator (NESO).
