Overview

Decarbonising the energy sector requires both green electricity from renewable sources and sustainable molecules, such as green hydrogen and renewable carbon. These solutions are particularly suited to hard-to-abate sectors that are challenging to electrify, whether due to technical or commercial limitations.

In this talk, Evelien will highlight the projects that Are Ake are supporting, set out the pathway to unlock more sustainable molecule production, and lay down a challenge to IChemE members on how we can get involved.

This event will be delivered both in person at Are Ake and online.
