Decarbonising the UK

Energy transition represents a significant opportunity for the South West to create environmentally focussed, well-paid and long-term jobs but it will take a “systems-thinking” approach.

In conjunction with the University of Plymouth the South West Business Council will deliver a conference covering the de-carbonisation agenda on the 25th of September at the University.

• The importance of “systems thinking” when it comes to de-carbonisation.
• How we create the talent pipeline to meet skills requirements needed.
• There will also be options to explore some of the Universities' key laboratories including the hugely impressive wave tank facility.

• The University of Plymouth. – Prof Lars Johanning; Dr Sian Rees and Kevin Forshaw
• The National Grid
• The National Infrastructure Committee
• The Institute of Civil Engineers
• The Crown Estate
• Celtic Sea Power
• City College Plymouth
• South Devon College

• Date: Wednesday 25th September 2024
• Location: The University of Plymouth
• Time: 11.00 AM to 17:00 PM

The full agenda is being built but the core will be:

• 11.00 to 11.45 – Choice of one of two laboratory tours.
• 12.00 to 12.45 – Networking lunch.
• 12:45 to 17:00 - Speaker and panel sessions
