Key Challenges We Will Be Exploring...
Whilst we had great feedback from last year’s event, we’re understand there are new challenges and opportunities emerging. We listened to our industrial network and previous attendees to understand what needs to be put in the spotlight this year:
• Following the recent EU Carbon Management Strategy Report how can industrials adapt their roadmaps to maximise opportunity and stay competitive?
• What funding opportunities are available in Europe around CCS and Hydrogen?
• How are industrials transforming waste into wealth? What is best practice around unlocking the potential of waste heat?
• What business cases exist around making use of CO2? How are industry leaders establishing a circular economy through CO2 reuse?
• How can emitters share expertise and financial burden of decarbonisation projects with partners?
