Given the challenges of achieving net zero by 2050, where will you focus your future investments? Energy Focus puts the big question to four members
The case for energy transition is clear:
There’s a lot of excitement surrounding hydrogen, carbon capture and floating offshore wind, with many projects already on the books. But with the lack of facilities at scale, lack of capacity, lack of demand, lack of policy, lack of funding and lack of profit, Jonathan Dyble asks: are these really net-zero pathways, or simply net-zero pipe dreams?
We asked founding member companies and some of EIC’s key stakeholders and partners around the world for their reflections on EIC’s 80th anniversary.
This year marks EIC’s 80th anniversary, and Energy Focus could not be more excited to celebrate all that EIC has accomplished in partnership with members, partners, employees and friends. It is because of their continued support that EIC has been able to evolve continuously since its founding.
Relocating from London to live and work in Dubai last summer, I left one heatwave for another.
The hard truth about transition is that you need access to capital to do it. Closing the capital gap demands deeper collaboration at all levels, says Zoë Knight at HSBC
Located approximately 13km off the coast of Aberdeen, a significant achievement for the UK offshore wind industry stands out.
The floating offshore wind industry is an exciting global opportunity that will play a key role in the energy transition. However, there are barriers to full commercialisation that must be addressed and overcome, says EIC Senior Analyst Pietro Ferreira
