HYBRID EVENT – Queen Elizabeth House, Edinburgh

 

Storage is a key component in the shift to a more sustainable and decarbonised energy system.

The range of technologies and energy vectors available, the different strengths and suitability of each and the surging interest from investors as increasing amounts of new renewable capacity are added to the grid makes for a compelling story.

Join us to hear from a range of industry leaders as they discuss how storage will revolutionise the energy system.

 

Topics for discussion will include:

  • Why the buildout of storage is essential to the energy transition
  • What are the leading storage technologies shaping the market?
  • Which companies are leading the way in deploying storage technology?
  • What role does policy and regulation play in supporting the sector – and how can it be improved to enhance deployment?
  • What are the main finance and investment mechanisms for storage – and is there enough?
  • What does the future of the market and the wider energy system look like?

Technology Powering the North Sea Transition Deal

VIRTUAL EVENT – FREE REGISTRATION

 

Wednesday 28th September

10:30am – 12:00pm (BST)

 

There is no single solution to deliver net zero. Affordable, low carbon energy growth will be driven by innovative technology.

How do we create an agile, integrated, interdependent energy system to capitalise on domestic opportunities and global markets?

Join a panel of experts as they delve into the insights and dissect the recommendations made in the Technology Driving Green Energy Growth report, produced by the Technology Leadership Board, Net Zero Technology Centre, and Accenture.

The report highlights opportunities in hydrogen, floating offshore wind and carbon capture and storage technologies, exploring the innovative solutions required to meet the North Sea Transition Deal commitments.

The successful realisation of these innovations will ultimately lead to greater cost competitiveness, create domestic and international supply chain opportunities and secure low carbon jobs.

Geothermal

— A Tracking Transition Series —

June 29 – 15:00-16:30 (BST)

VIRTUAL EVENT – FREE REGISTRATION

CLICK HERE TO VIEW SESSION 1 ON DEMAND

 

Geothermal has been identified as a key technology in the provision of sustainable energy. It is not dependent on weather conditions and geothermal power plants can supply baseload electricity.

And geothermal can also harness the skills and technology developed in the oil and gas sector to help drive the transition and shift to net zero.

It offers a huge untapped energy source that has the potential to drive up to 20% of the UK’s electricity and all of the country’s heating demand, making it an area that should not be ignored.

Energy Voice has joined up with Expro, an expert in geothermal, to showcase the potential of the technology to reshape the energy mix, enhance security of supply and advance the just transition from oil and gas to sustainable energy.

Join us to hear from Expro and a select panel of experts as they discuss what the technology is, why it’s important and what next for the sector.

–NEO 2.0–

CAPITALISING ON NEW ENERGY OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA

Wednesday May 18, 2022

11:00 – 12:30 (BST) / 06:00 – 07:30 (EST) / 14:00 – 15:30 (GST)

VIRTUAL EVENT – FREE REGISTRATION

The energy transition will need to harness an array of new technologies with solar PV, hydrogen and storage all playing a critical role.

These three industries each have their own merits and challenges. But the common thread, the drive to slash carbon emissions, means they will continue to attract substantial capital and create significant opportunities for the global supply chain.

In 2021, Energy Voice presented the first in our NEO series which focused on the US market. Now, in association with Bracewell, a leading law firm renowned worldwide for its unique depth and experience in the energy sector, we are delighted to present a follow up virtual event focused on new energy opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa.

The international energy industry can learn from the rapid development of these technologies in the region.

Register today to hear from our panel on how solar PV, hydrogen and storage are shaping the new energy mix, and how to capitalise on the opportunities this transition presents.

Net Zero Workforce

HYBRID EVENT – FREE REGISTRATION

Thursday 30th March, 2023

In Person Event – 07:15 – 13:00 (BST)

Virtual Content – 08:00 – 11:45 (BST)

Join us virtually or in person at the Aberdeen Science Centre.

 

The energy transition presents huge opportunity but has also surfaced problems that could be blockers to progress. One of these areas is the need for the energy workforce to evolve rapidly by attracting new talent and reskilling existing workers.

Our Net Zero Workforce conference, presented from the Aberdeen Science Centre, will focus on the massive upskilling, reskilling and training required to harness the vast opportunities offered by the change underway in energy.

Together we will examine what new roles, skills and expertise are required for the Net Zero Workforce to emerge and thrive. Across multiple sessions and workshops we will look to find solutions to key problems around recruitment and skills with a view to generating actionable outcomes for our audience.

 

Session 1 – Skills in Transition

The keynote session will focus on the new mix of skills needed as the energy industry gears up for the massive transformation, and explore how upskilling, reskilling, training and educational support can help achieve decarbonisation and net zero goals. Proposed topics for discussion include:

·       Upskilling, reskilling & training required for the transition

·       Skills innovation

·       Education and need for STEM

·       Culture, diversity & inclusion

·       Energy workforce of the future 

·       Why energy is a good career choice

 

Session 2 – North Sea Transition Powerhouse

The people currently working in the North Sea have huge talent and experience. What does the industry (and government) need to do to retain that resource and deliver a just transition? What is the jobs market like now? What are the challenges we need to solve to make the North Sea an attractive place to work in the future? How can we create new jobs and safeguard existing ones? Proposed topics for discussion include:

·       Job creation & recruitment

·       Utilisation of available human resource

·       Enhancing creativity & productivity

·       Supply chain

·       Local content

·       Offshore wind/hydrogen/CCS opportunities
