With businesses under pressure to minimise energy costs and improve resilience, this one-hour webinar heard from the organisations that are utilising carbon-cutting technologies and systems on the road to net-zero emissions.

Energy costs are rising, clean technology costs are tumbling, and new off-grid energy opportunities are becoming more viable. What’s more, the UK Government recently unveiled its 10-Point Plan to push the UK towards net-zero carbon emissions.

Using real-experience case studies, this hour-long webinar heard from some of the businesses that are deploying new technologies and solutions to accelerate their net-zero transition – from solar and wind to combined heat and power (CHP), ground-source heat pumps and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.

Brought to you in association with Carbon Clean, this webinar also included a series of presentations followed by a live Q&A with our speakers.

Discussion points

  • Assessing the viability of rooftop solar for your business
  • Switching to low-carbon heat and electricity for listed buildings
  • Delivering the net-zero factory of the future, today
  • How carbon capture and storage can support your net-zero transition
