Event Information

Whilst the case for Net Zero is clear, and the targets are now well defined, many are still grappling with the ‘how’ of delivery. This webinar offers the practically focused perspectives of HS1, a large user of energy with a 2030 net zero target, and Thrive Renewables, a UK pioneer in the development of and investment in renewable energy projects. Both will share their progress, achievements, opportunities and challenges in their journeys so far.
