All-Energy, the UK renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference, and the co-located Dcarbonise, are preparing for kick-off on 15 May in Glasgow, Scotland.
This year’s event includes an opening plenary session plus 56 other conference sessions and eight show floor theatres.
There will be 360 speakers during the main conference, addressing every form of renewable energy applicable in the UK, to grid and networks modernisation and expansion and the hydrogen transition to energy storage
“The speakers on Day 1 include Scotland’s Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero and Energy, Mairi McAllan MSP; Patrick Child, Deputy Director General of the European Commission’s DG Environment; Tim Pick MBE, Chair Offshore Wind Growth Partnership and former UK Offshore Wind Champion; Danielle Lane, Director of Offshore Development UK and Ireland, RWE; Laura Fleming, CEO, Hitachi Energy UK and Ireland, and those are just some of the speakers in the first two sessions,” said Jonathan Heastie, Portfolio Director, RX Global which owns and organises the two events.
He added: “Well-known names later on the 15th in our 11 conference halls include Benj Sykes, Vice President, Offshore. Head of Environment, Consenting & External Affairs at Orsted and President of the Society for Underwater Technology, our Learned Society Patron; Susie Lind, Managing Director, BlueFloat Energy | Renantis Partnership; Eleanor Warburton, Director of Energy Systems Management & Security, Ofgem; Professor Keith Bell, Scottish Power Professor of Future Power Systems, University of Strathclyde; and Julian Leslie, Strategic Energy Planning Director, National Grid ESO.”
Wednesday’s quick fire programmes look at offshore wind; hydrogen and energy storage; community and local energy; future talent – with success stories and inspirational thoughts on skills and training; and heat, built environment and transport decarbonisation (with a theatre for each of the three topics); and research and innovation.
Heastie said: “The Hydrogen showcase is always like an Aladdin’s cave of fascinating exhibits.
“One fascinating area is going to be PlusZero’s simulated building site showing how hydrogen can increasingly be used in that environment.”
Moving away from hydrogen to tidal power, Orbital Marine Power will exhibit the latest model of its device; and wave power developer CorPower will showcase a quarter-scale buoy and will also have a VR set available where visitors “can go inside the wave energy converter to better understand how it works as well as how it will be serviced and maintained”.
