RENEWABLES MONTH: Choosing the right mix of on- and off-site for cost, carbon and resilience in local authorities
For local authorities, renewable energy strategy is very much about how to structure investment to balance cost, carbon reduction and operational resilience. With tightening budgets, grid constraints and ambitious net zero targets, councils attending the Energy Management Summit are increasingly weighing the relative merits of on-site generation and off-site procurement models such as power purchase […]
Green hydrogen to take 88.6% share of low-carbon production by 2030
Low‑carbon hydrogen production grew slowly for years and was largely flat until recently. However, the trend has changed in the past couple of years, with production increasing to 0.84 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) in 2024. The low-carbon hydrogen production capacity is anticipated to reach 65.3mtpa in high case scenario and 42mtpa in low case scenario […]

The challenge for leaders at the Energy Management Summit is often moving renewables from isolated projects into fully integrated, […]
Why does UK construction fell thousands of mature trees each year?
Construction and redevelopment are reshaping towns, cities and industrial estates, but as part of that process, mature and veteran trees in these areas are becoming the real casualties – more often seen as obstacles rather than assets. For most developers the quick answer is to cut them down, ignoring the fact that preserving them is […]
