Energy Security & Green Infrastructure Week from 6-10 November 2023 will shine a light on some of the key industry issues around how best to address climate change.
In what is being billed as the largest green infrastructure conference of its type, Energy Security & Green Infrastructure Week, sponsored by Two Blues Solar, is set to offer a focused, exclusive, online conference where attendees can hear from a wide range of experts sharing insight and commentary from academics, scientists, policy influencers, trade associations and solution providers, and UK government officials. The project is a not-for-profit initiative allowing all interested parties an entirely free-to-attend agenda. International delegates are very welcome.
Backed by UK government organisations, the week is the UK’s official national awareness week for green infrastructure and energy security and includes a focused agenda around three themed days climate leadership (7th Nov), energy economy (8th Nov) and businesses and places (9th Nov). The online-only event starts with a series of three Climate Perspectives interviews about leadership and why it matters in the fight against climate change.
The interviews on 7 November feature Zion Lights, founder of Emergency Reactor, Adrian Del Maestro, global energy advisory lead at AECOM and Tom Burke, co-founder and chair of the climate change think tank E3G.
A series of energy economy sessions on 8 November will look at how to deliver clean, secure and affordable energy for the rest of the century, what’s next for carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) and also the topical issue of infrastructure resilience and how to secure green energy infrastructure against rising risks.
Online sessions on 9 November will address how to get the right public EV charging, in the right place while ensuring it is equitable, whether onsite power purchase agreements are right for businesses and EV fleets and also the ever-popular issue of natural capital and the importance of nature-based solutions in the response to climate change.
Speaking about the event, Shawn Coles, managing director of the event organiser Binary Carbon, said:
“Energy Security and Green Infrastructure Week will champion the need for further investment in green infrastructure. Through a comprehensive series of free-to-attend webinar sessions and keynote interviews, we hope to shine a light on the key issues around how best to address climate change, the key technologies and innovative solutions currently in play, all with the aim of helping stakeholders unlock the benefits of reaching net zero.”
Rt Hon Chris Skidmore MP, former Energy Minister, Chair of the Net Zero Review ‘Mission Zero’, and ambassador for Energy Security & Green Infrastructure Week said:
“I am excited to be apart of Energy Security & Green Infrastructure Week where the UK’s top industries will showcase the universal opportunities the net zero transition is creating. The UK is a world leading destination for green investment and this week will be a brilliant addition to our net zero transition story. It was Global Britain which led the way when Net Zero was signed into law, let’s now take full advantage of the opportunities the energy transition is bringing.”
Rt Hon Greg Clark MP, former Energy and Business Secretary, and ambassador for Energy Security & Green Infrastructure Week said:
“I am delighted to see initiatives like Energy Security & Green Infrastructure Week championing the need for further investment in green infrastructure. The UK is in a prime position to capitalise on the move towards Net Zero and ensuring we have the right infrastructure in place will be key to achieving this”.
