This one-day gathering will bring together senior voices across industry, policy and media, and won’t be one to miss.

The Summit

The UK is facing a pivotal moment in its energy landscape. Rising energy costs are placing immense pressure on both businesses and consumers. Companies striving for growth are constrained by high operational expenses, while consumers are burdened by increased utility bills and inflated prices of goods—driven by the energy-intensive nature of manufacturing and transport.

The Challenge facing government and industry is how to achieve a balance between affordable, reliable, and efficient energy. The progress to meeting this is often hindered by fragmented approaches across government, industry, and regulatory bodies.

This summit will bring together influential voices from industry, politics, and media to explore actionable solutions to securing energy independence, reducing energy costs and aligning policy and innovation to meet consumer and business needs

Key questions to be explored:

• How can the UK diversify its energy sources to reduce reliance on volatile global markets?
• What role should government play in incentivising low-cost, low-carbon energy?
• How can industry collaborate to drive down costs and improve efficiency?

Attendees to the summit will hear from government and opposition politicians, leaders from industries including energy, manufacturing, aviation, shipping & trade, and academia.

Speakers include;

Wolfe Power Club, Alex Wolfe; The Spectator’s Editor, Michael Gove; RenewableUK’s Deputy CEO, Jane Cooper; Octopus Energy CEO & Founder,  Greg Jackson; Claire Coutinho – Shadow Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero; Dhara Vyas – CEO, Energy UK; Alex Grant – Senior Vice President, Equinor; Mike Maudsley – CEO, Enfinium; Doug Bannister, CEO – Port of Dover; Bill Esterson MP, Chair of the Energy Security & Net Zero Committee: Amber Rudd – fmr Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change during the Paris Agreement negotiations in 2015; Antonio Patriota – Brazilian Ambassador to the UK and Dr. Steffen Hoffmann-  CEO, Bosch UK & Ireland.

Join Stefano Miriello, EU Deputy Director, at Gastech at the “Crunch time: Accelerating deployment to deliver a commercial, competitive and self-sustaining CCUS market” panel.

There are around 45 commercial facilities using CCUS in industrial processes. To meet global climate goals, CO₂ capture needs to increase twentyfold by 2030, according to the IEA. This creates high expectations for breakthroughs in new CCUS projects that can accelerate near-term market growth and widespread adoption.  However, significant challenges remain. These include high capital investment requirements, limited policy incentives, and uncertainty around regulation and carbon pricing. Overcoming these barriers is crucial for the continued development and large-scale deployment of CCUS technologies. How can stakeholders across the CCUS value chain work together to maximise commercial returns and unlock its full decarbonisation potential?
