A zero-carbon world will continue to need high-quality built environments. To achieve full decarbonisation across these environments, companies cannot focus just on their own emission reduction but also on supporting an overall net-zero transition of buildings ' from raw materials, to finished structure and including their heating, cooling and management. Panellists will drive forward the discussion around how to join up these efforts.

Learn from 2-3 examples of innovation in the deployment of solutions designed to tackle the challenge of decarbonising HVAC systems. “Harnessing geoenergy for heating & cooling buildings sustainably”. As Great Britain has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, finding effective ways to decarbonize building heating and cooling is crucial. Today, the sector contributes more than 20% of Britain’s GHG emissions and is heavily dependent on gas. Fortunately, geoenergy, which uses the shallow subsurface to store surplus heat, presents an immediately available solution that can reduce energy consumption by up to 75% and CO2 emissions by 70%. With geoenergy available throughout the country, Celsius Energy has developed a mature solution requiring only a small surface area, thus leveraging their technological and digital expertise from the oil and gas industry to accelerate the deployment of ground source heat pumps.

The buildings and construction sector accounts for almost 40% of global carbon emissions with 23% directly attributable to the construction of buildings. While materials used in construction get the lion share of the blame, the operational activities of construction sites account for around half a billion tonnes of carbon emission per year – largely attributable to the burning of fossil fuels at sites by machinery and equipment. Ampd’s flagship product, the Enertainer, eliminates the need for fossil fuel generators on construction sites, resulting in a reduction in carbon emissions of up to 85%, eliminates the equivalent of up to 400 cars of air pollution from the road, and eliminates fossil fuel fire and spillage risks. The Enertainer is also 30 times quieter than a generator, which is especially important in urban environments.

An introduction to Climate TRACE, a comprehensive inventory of every human-caused source of greenhouse gas emissions on the planet. Founded by Former Vice President Al Gore and a coalition of organisations with expertise in emissions data science, Climate TRACE uses direct observations and not self-reported data to build up-to-date emissions data for every major sector and subsector. Using satellites, remote sensing, big data, and artificial intelligence, Climate TRACE estimates emissions for hundreds of thousands of sources in over 241 countries and territories. Enterprises can use Climate TRACE to understand their scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across their supply chains and look at options for lower emitting suppliers enabling rapid and verifiable emissions reductions. Organisations will learn how they can take action today to accelerate their net zero commitments.
