2nd UK CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit: Innovation & Collaboration

Tuesday 4th & Wednesday 5th May 2021 @ The Holiday Inn Birmingham

Every country has committed to reduce their carbon emissions in line with COP23. Over the last 12 months you have seen by the super major oil and gas companies commit to reduce their carbon footprint and are now transiting into a sustainable energy company.

“ The UK government is now investing £800 million to support CCUS clusters. As technology becomes more advanced the UK has the opportunity, expertise and the skills to export their skills and services overseas. By 2023 the UK will have 2 functional CCUS projects that will be supplying 100% Hydrogen to local manufacturers. This is now the time for innovation and collaboration to ensure the UK can become a world leader in decarbonisation. ”

This is now the time for innovation and collaboration to ensure the UK can become a world leader in decarbonisation.

The 2^nd UK CCUS Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit will focus on how to determine strategies for greater decarbonisation of the energy intensive and enhance collaboration and innovation between 300+ government officials, regulators, key industry stake holders, leading academia and service companies.

Meeting carbon emission targets and becoming Net Zero whilst also being able to manage the energy demands of the UK economy, is a challenge policy makers, industry and innovators must work together. With the global hydrogen market tipped to rise to £1.9 trillion by 2050, establishing a hydrogen economy in the UK & Scotland is becoming a key fundamental of their government’s decarbonisation strategy.
