together key stakeholders and those involved with innovative solutions engineering a Net Zero future. Held at Glasgow’s SEC on 15 and 16 May the exhibition will feature 270 exhibitors embracing all sources of renewable energy and, increasingly, the grid and networks as modernisation of the system moves ever closer. The co-located Dcarbonise is aimed at decarbonising the built environment, heat, cities/places, industry, and transport. Registration is open at www.all-energy.co.uk/dbm for both events. All elements of the two-day event (major


exhibition, multi-streamed conference and Civic Reception and Giant Networking Evening) are free to attend for those with relevant business, governmental, or academic interests. The 2023 edition of the annual series attracted total attendance of 9,706 – a 27% increase on the 2022 figure. “Politicians, industry leaders, working engineers and academic specialists abound in the stellar line- up of some 600+ speakers over the two days. All are working towards a single target – Net Zero,” explained Jonathan Heastie, portfolio director Energy & Marine, RX Global, which owns and organises the duo of co-located events. “They range from Scotland’s First Minister,


Humza Yousaf, through to a veritable ‘who’s who’ of experts speaking in our plenary sessions, including Louise Kingham, senior vice president, Europe and head of Country at BP; Emma Pinchbeck, chief executive, Energy UK; and Professor Jim Skea, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on opening morning.

Gamesa UK; Dervilla Mitchell, deputy chair of Arup Group and Charlotte Middleton, deputy director, Electricity Networks Policy & Offshore in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero are amongst those discussing the challenge. Later, Sir Jim will have a 40-minute ‘fireside chat’ with Sir Ian Wood, Chair of ETZ Ltd. “The duo of events encompasses topics ranging


from offshore wind (and all other forms of renewable energy), hydrogen and energy storage to the Dcarbonise’s range of subjects. And much more ranging from finance and funding, to community and local energy, PPAs to future talent. Conference topic headings are online at https://bit.ly/48DhQ27. “Our headline sponsor Shepherd and


Wedderburn, celebrating their 10th sponsoring year with us, is bringing sessions on ‘Delivering our offshore wind ambitions’ to ‘Maps, money and multiple benefits: City scale decarbonisation’; and ‘Port infrastructure and investment: Gateways to growth’ to ‘Innovation in Clean Tech: How are we shaping the future?’ demonstrating their (and our) wide range of interests – all with stellar line-ups.” The full programme for
