EDITOR’S LETTER

May is exciting as Innovation Zero takes London by storm. The clean climate tech conference and exhibition gets underway at London Olympia on May 24 and, endorsed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and chaired by Rt Hon Dr Liam Fox MP, the event will bring some of the world’s greatest minds together to advance and develop clean technology ideas.

Free-to-attend the access-all-areas international cleantech congress will host 7,000 policymakers, innovators, funders, and leaders from the public and private sector to gain the knowledge and tools needed to take action and make a difference at a crucial time in the fight against climate disaster.

The clean energy theme continues away from Innovation Zero, and is exacerbated by news that it is all-but-confirmed that we are likely to miss 1.5°C global temperature warming targets as meaningful change in CO2 emissions is yet to be achieved.

At Sonnedix, a global renewable energy producer, heavy expansion in Europe –particularly Spain - is ongoing as the company looks to build on the significant presence it has built globally. Working hard to build solar installations that make real difference in the communities where they sit, the company is on a strong growth trajectory.

For Ferroglobe, the leading metallurgical products business, a fresh focus on sustainability and innovation as part of a transformation journey is helping the business to achieve record financial results. After a wide-ranging review of existing operations, the company has developed a strategy based on technology and ESG principles which will take it forward over the next five years.

BMO Capital Markets in Canada is a financial institution taking the climate transition seriously, offering investment opportunities in companies and industries that are active in change and driving down emissions with each year. Promoting a just and balanced transition, the bank has become a leading partner in acquisition and divestiture activities.

In the USA, Phoenix Tailings has drawn a line in the sand and is using new technology to effectively process mining waste to generate exciting new rare earth metals, used in many transitional technology including electric vehicles and batteries.
