Rising to the Net-Zero Challenge
These are challenging times for many industries, and none more so than the energy sector. The impacts of COVID-19 have been vast: the price of oil has plummeted, many companies are struggling to formulate recovery plans, and pressures to rebuild a green, clean and fossil-fuel world are mounting.
But as we emerge from lockdown following the global health crisis, can leaders from across all sectors rise to the challenge of greening the recovery?
In 2019, the UK Government legislated for Net-Zero emission by 2050. This is a legally binding target that will require extraordinary cooperation across industries and sectors. This will also require the energy sector to play a critical role by not only decarbonizing their operations and shifting to clean production, but by creating net-zero pathways for other industries.
