Delivering Big Hardware & Low-Carbon Molecules: Building the UK’s Clean Energy Backbone

From grid expansion to hydrogen, offshore wind to CCUS, the UK is betting big on capital-intensive, hardware-heavy industries to meet energy goals. This session will explore how government and industry can overcome long lead times, capital intensity, and technological risk to scale major infrastructure projects.

• What finance and risk mechanisms are needed to de-risk multi-billion-pound, long payback projects?
• How can we create supply chain resilience while unlocking inward investment?
• How do we engage the public in supporting big-ticket energy infrastructure?
