Pathways to Net Zero

About the Course

This is an extensive three-day programme designed to empower professionals with the skills and knowledge required to navigate and achieve net zero emissions. The course delves into a variety of renewable energy sources and innovative technologies that are crucial for balancing greenhouse gas emissions with removal from the atmosphere. Participants will explore technologies such as offshore and floating wind, blue and green hydrogen, and tidal and wave energy. Additionally, the course covers the significant role of Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) in reducing carbon footprints. 

The course is structured to provide a thorough understanding of these emerging technologies through a blend of expert insights, practical case studies, and interactive discussions. Attendees will gain both theoretical and practical knowledge, enabling them to appreciate the complexities and applications of these technologies. This combination of learning methods ensures that participants are well-prepared to apply these strategies in real-world scenarios, driving forward the net zero initiative within their organisations and industries. 

Day one of the course focuses on introducing the concept of net zero emissions and its global importance. Participants will learn about the various policies and frameworks that support the transition to a low-carbon economy. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for a deeper dive into specific technologies and their roles in achieving net zero. 

The second day is dedicated to renewable energy technologies. Detailed sessions on offshore and floating wind energy will highlight their potential and current applications. Participants will explore case studies demonstrating successful implementations and discuss the challenges and opportunities within this sector. The day also covers blue and green hydrogen, examining production methods, applications, and the hurdles to widespread adoption. Attendees will gain insights into how these hydrogen technologies can complement other renewable energy sources to create a more sustainable energy system. 

On the final day, the course shifts focus to emerging technologies and strategies. Sessions on tidal and wave energy will provide an overview of their potential contributions to the renewable energy mix. The course will also cover Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), discussing its principles, technologies, and real-world applications. Participants will explore the latest advancements in CCS and understand its critical role in reducing industrial emissions. 

Throughout the course, interactive discussions and group activities will encourage participants to share experiences and insights, fostering a collaborative learning environment. By the end of the programme, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the technologies and strategies essential for achieving net zero emissions. They will be equipped with the knowledge to drive sustainability initiatives within their organisations and contribute meaningfully to global efforts in combating climate change.
