FOREWORD by
LORD RUPERT REDESDALE
Chief Executive at The Energy Managers Association
Welcome …to EMEX and this year’s last issue of The EMA Magazine for 2019. This year will be remembered for the declaration of a climate Change Emergency, by organisations across the country. Companies are starting to set tough targets on slashing GHG emissions. The only question left is how to meet these ambitious targets. Happily, the job of delivery will fall to you. EMEX 2019 therefore has been built around a programme that will give you the tools to do the job, from understanding legislation and regulation, in particular SECR and ESOS, to giving practical advice on strategies that work, emerging technologies, such as storage, along with guidance from your peers. The Government’s goal is Net Zero emissions by 2050, some of the technologies needed, Hydrogen and Carbon Capture and Storage do not exist at scale yet but until they come online, the most important work will be hitting the first 20%.
