Roundtable: Why sustainability still drives value in an increasingly uncertain world.
Join us for an insightful roundtable webinar during Net Zero Week, where we will delve into the evolving landscape of sustainability in light of recent political developments. In 2025, we've witnessed a marked shift, with the European Union introducing omnibus proposals while the U.S. has scaled back its sustainability goals. This increased uncertainty poses challenges for businesses aiming to prioritise sustainability. Despite these challenges to strategy, investing in sustainability remains crucial. Our discussions will focus on why sustainable strategies, goals and metrics are essential for long-term growth and resilience. We will explore actionable initiatives related to energy, resources, and carbon management that can enhance value and drive positive change within your organisation. Join us to learn how to effectively embed sustainability into the core of your business strategy.

Community Engagement and Net Zero.
Shaping sustainable futures requires collective action, innovative solutions, and a shared commitment to sustainability. This webinar focuses on the need for active engagement from all stakeholders, including private, public, and third sector organisations, as well as local communities in achieving net zero transition. By co-planning, co-designing, and co-delivering initiatives, we can achieve a successful transition to net zero. Involving community members in planning, decision-making, and implementation ensures greater success and long-lasting benefits for both people and the planet. Community engagement harnesses local knowledge, fosters collaboration, and drives impactful change. However, it also presents challenges. Our webinar brings together visionary experts who will discuss the role of community engagement in net zero transitions through innovative approaches for creating a sustainable future. Whether you are an experienced environmental advocate or just starting out, this webinar can offer valuable insights and actionable ideas to help you make a positive impact through community engagement in the net zero transition.

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.
