Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease and DHL Global Forwarding Freight today announced a new partnership to commence Ireland's first sustainable fuel deliveries using Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) for the pharmaceutical industry. By converting to HVO fuel, the two companies are aiming to reduce annual Greenhouse Gas (GHG) from road freight by up to 90% compared to GHG emissions associated with deliveries using diesel. The partners have identified multiple transport routes within Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Europe, which will all convert from diesel to HVO to deliver medicines manufactured in Alexion's sites in Athlone and Blanchardstown, Dublin. HVO will be used in DHL's vehicles on more than 500 deliveries, on an annual basis to 10 countries. Produced from biomass such as used cooking oils and waste from food manufacture, HVO is a drop-in fuel, meaning it can be used within existing vehicles without compromising operational performance, removing the need for new infrastructure or fleet. Reducing the GHG emissions associated with the transport of medicinal products is an important part of AstraZeneca's wider sustainability strategy. This includes a focus on partnerships across the healthcare sector to accelerate the delivery of net-zero health systems, including supply chain decarbonisation. AstraZeneca has set a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 98% from 2015 base year.[i] From 2030, the aim is to halve the entire value chain footprint (absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions), from a 2019 base year, on the way to becoming science-based net zero by 2045. Sylvia Kiely Vice President - Global Supply Chain and Product Strategy Lead, Alexion AstraZeneca Rare Disease said: "Today's announcement with DHL to move from Diesel to HVO fuel is another milestone in our commitment to reducing our environmental impact, and dependency on fossil fuels within our global supply chain in relation to Scope 3. By working with our partners to extend eco-conscious practices to our full freight network, we can further minimise our environmental impact and dependency on fossil fuels within our global supply chain." Maurice Meade, Managing Director of DHL Global Forwarding Freight, Ireland, said: "This is another step in the right direction as we strive to run more sustainable operations for our customers that reduce the inherent Greenhouse emissions in transporting goods. We are delighted to see Alexion be one of the trailblazers to make this significant switch in approach and thereby follow-up on their sustainability goals with clear actions. This initiative perfectly aligns with our sustainability strategy at DHL Group, whereby our aim is to reduce all logistics-related emissions to net-zero by 2050." See more stories here.

AWS, Digital Realty, Google, Meta, Microsoft and Schneider Electric Call for Supplier Action to Help Decarbonize Digital Infrastructure iMasons Climate Accord Governing Body Members Sign Open Letter Outlining Importance of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) Amid Rapid Growth of Data Centers Leading digital infrastructure companies call for industry adoption of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to accelerate net-zero ambitions Scope 3 emissions make up large percentage of hyperscale and data center carbon emissions Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) detail the greenhouse gas emissions of infrastructure products through their entire lifecycle Why it is important to Decarbonise Digital Infrastructure The Governing Body of the iMasons Climate Accord, a program of Infrastructure Masons, is calling on all suppliers serving data centers to support greater transparency in Scope 3 emissions as part of broader efforts to reduce the industry's carbon footprint. Consisting of AWS, Digital Realty, Google, Meta, Microsoft and Schneider Electric, the Governing Body released an open letter today that explains the importance of widespread adoption of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), which are standardized, third-party-verified documents reporting the embodied emissions of a product. EPDs outline the greenhouse gas emissions of a product through its entire lifecycle, from the raw materials in the product (e.g., how they are extracted, transported, and processed), to manufacturing, transportation, product use, and product end-of-life (e.g., landfill, recycling, repurposing, etc.). While EPDs are common in some business sectors, there is not widespread adoption of EPDs in the data center industry. The open letter demonstrates a significant push forward from the world's largest hyperscalers and digital infrastructure companies to drive meaningful change across the industry, working in partnership with their trusted suppliers. It is essential to continue to ensure the digital infrastructure industry decarbonizes as it grows. The signatories of the iMasons Governing Body's open letter all have net-zero carbon emissions commitments in place to address their responsibility in mitigating data center carbon emissions (with deadlines ranging from 2025 to 2040, which is at least 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement), and this letter marks another milestone toward decarbonizing of operations. Hyperscalers have implemented strategies to reduce and/or mitigate Scope 1 and 2 emissions. As they seek to reach net-zero carbon emissions in the coming years, solving the next piece of the sustainability puzzle lies in reducing Scope 3 emissions, which can represent anywhere from 38-69% of data centers' total carbon footprint. Scope 3 emissions are not produced by the company itself; rather, they include the indirect emissions throughout the value chain. Access to the critical information in EPDs empowers data center owners, operators, and end-users to effectively calculate their environmental impact and choose products (servers, cooling systems, uninterruptible power supplies [UPS]) and services based on lower Scope 3 emissions, best aligning with sustainability targets. "EPDs are crucial in transforming the future of digital infrastructure to be more resilient and climate positive. The adoption of EPDs within the global supply chain fosters both sustainable and accountable outcomes. As standardized and verified data provides a layer of transparency, this initiative supports a collective approach to reducing our carbon emissions and environmental footprints," said Miranda Gardiner, Executive Director of the iMasons Climate Accord, a coalition of 250+ members that represents an $8 trillion combined market cap. "At AWS, we are committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions across our operations by 2040 by investing in carbon-free energy, scaling solutions, and collaborating with partners to broaden our impact," said Eric Wilcox, V...

In this episode, we talk to Akshat Rathi, award-winning senior climate reporter for Bloomberg News. Rathi is the host of Bloomberg's podcast Zero that explores the policies, tactics and clean technologies pushing for a zero emissions future. He is also the author of the book Climate Capitalism, which tracks the unlikely heroes driving the fight against climate change.Rathi argues that for years the aviation industry has sheltered behind the label of being “hard to decarbonise”, which is not only a misconception, but has also stalled the industry's progress towards net zero emissions. He advocates for correctly pricing flights to account for their true environmental cost, a move that could bring an end to “ridiculously” cheap flight tickets.Rathi also discusses the potential of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in decarbonising aviation and the need to overcome cost barriers through policy support and corporate commitment. Further, he delves into the role of electric aviation in transforming short-haul travel and regional aviation.In Rathi's view, the aviation industry stands at a crossroads, and the choices made now will determine not just the future of flying, but our ability to meet global climate targets. As he puts it, “We have to start to think about those technologies, because we do need decarbonised solutions.”If you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversation we had with Dan Rutherford, Senior Director of Research at the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), who shares the latest developments, partnerships, and challenges in reducing aviation emissions and achieving net zero by 2050.

Decarbonising the heating and cooling sector is central to achieving the energy transition. This is recognised in the European Green Deal and the ‘Fit for 55' package, as without increasing the share of renewables in this sector, our energy and climate targets cannot be achieved cost-effectively.Within the heating sector, district heating is proving particularly difficult to decarbonise, as district heating systems operate mostly on fossil fuels. However, some stakeholders argue that power-to-heat technologies could be a good solution, as they use renewable energy for heating.By converting electricity into heat, power-to-heat technologies have the potential to help raise the share of renewable energy in the district heating sector. Power-to-heat could be particularly important in large heating systems which, due to their high heat demand, and with a lack of local renewables, are the most difficult to decarbonise.Listen to this Euractiv Hybrid Conference to discuss the potential of power-to-heat technologies in decarbonising district heating. Questions to be discussed include:· How can power-to-heat help in reaching the objectives of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Directives?· What role can power-to-heat play in energy stabilisation? And what implications can this have on energy grids?· What are the next steps to support the necessary rollout of power-to-heat technologies in district heating?

"I've done the sums. All we need is 1,200 square kilometres. That's not much. The area devoted to agriculture is about 3,500 times larger at 4.2 million square kilometres. The area of land that would be taken away from agriculture works out at about 45 square metres per person – about the size of a large living room. "We can ditch fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse emissions with negligible impact on agriculture. And, in many cases, farmers can be paid for hosting renewable energy infrastructure while continuing to run sheep and cows or grow crops." So says a Professor of Engineering from the Australian National University, Professor Andrew Blakers (pictured), in an article published in The Conversation: "No threat to farmland: just 1,200 square kilometres can fulfil Australia's solar and wind energy needs". Professor Blakers visited Mooroopna, just across the Goulburn River from Shepparton, several years ago as one of about three speakers at a climate change forum organised by the Shepparton-based group, "Slap Tomorrow". The convenor of Zero Carbon Tatura, Terry Court, also on the Goulburn Valley-based GV Community Energy board, joined me for the conversation with Professor Blakers. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message

The UK's transition towards a net zero economy requires a complete overhaul of our power sector. We don't just need electricity generation that has been decarbonised, but a huge amount more of it as we switch away from heating our homes with gas and powering our cars with petrol. This will require a huge step up in investment – we must raise wind turbines, build nuclear power stations and expand the national grid. And that investment will need to be paid for. How big is the investment required to decarbonise our energy systems? What will it cost – and how will that cost vary depending on the choices we make and the interest rates markets charge? How big is the impact on household bills likely to be? And what will it take to ensure the costs and benefits are spread fairly across society? The Resolution Foundation is hosting an in-person and interactive webinar to debate and answer these questions. Following a presentation of the key highlights from new research on how the power sector can be decarbonised in a fair and efficacious way, we will hear from leading experts on how they think the UK can rise to this challenge.

Professor Brian Caulfield wants us to do everything, everywhere, all at once. Transport makes up a huge part of our emissions – around 20-25% in Ireland and the UK, and closer to 40% in the US.   Knocking those numbers down is no easy task. A system as complex and inter-dynamic as our transport network is a big beast: and there are so many competing visions.   Should we get behind a big public transport push – a metro for every city?   Is the answer self-driving EV's? Or redesigning cities to be car-free?   Should we use big data for efficient car-sharing? Or is the answer behaviour change, under the cosh of mandated charges and zoning laws?   This episode's guest understands that complexity better than anyone. And his number one policy priority?   Do it all – now!  Introducing Brian Caulfield  This week's guest is a leader in the field of sustainable transport science. Brian Caulfield is Professor in Transportation, and Head of Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering at Trinity College Dublin, where he works on the frontier of decarbonising transport systems.   As well as academia – with over two hundred papers and €7m in research grants to his name – Brian is also active in the policy world, addressing the Citizen's Assembly and working as an advisor to the Climate Change Advisory Council of Ireland. "… we're doing this for a greater good and we're trying to make all these changes to make our cities and everything else better and more clean, more healthy…" "… I think that the key thing that I would say to the listeners is to listen, engage, and proactively engage. And because it's going to impact upon all of us…" REFERENCES: Trinity College Dublin page: https://tinyurl.com/ypskqqfl Brian's Linkedin page: https://tinyurl.com/ytsoh2ja   In this episode:  the science of transportation  emissions, COVID and business-as-usual  transport beyond climate our low-emission transport future health, inequality and storytelling sustainable transport policy: the good, the bad and the ugly self-driving cars – a solution looking for a problem? the tricky politics of the car   lessons from Brazil  Conversations on Climate is a podcast produced by United Renewables and this episode is in association with Trinity College Dublin.

Shipping our heavy goods around the world is a huge carbon emitter. In the UK, we transport a vast amount via roads which has the same carbon footprint as air travel, buses and domestic shipping combined. So could we be shipping in a more environmentally friendly way? On this week's ClimateCast, Tom Heap boards a freight train to find out how rail freight fits into our net-zero future.He finds out why the cost of electricity means freight operators are running more diesel than electric and what changes are needed to the UK's infrastructure to slash shipping emissions.Plus, our climate reporter Victoria Seabrook joins Tom to talk about what's been happening at COP28 in Dubai this week.Producers: Emma Rae Woodhouse and Luke DenneEditor: Philly Beaumont

The biggest fleet of Hydrogen buses in Europe have hit the roads in Crawley as operators bet big on Hydrogen fuel, rather than electric batteries. They're more expensive to produce than electric vehicles and refuelling stations are few and far between, but can Hydrogen transport help us on the road to net zero?On this week's ClimateCast Tom Heap boards a Hydrogen bus to explore how it's improving air quality in Surrey, and he explores if Hydrogen can be used to decarbonise other heavy road transport with David Cebon, director of the Centre for Sustainable Freight at Cambridge University and Helena Bennett from climate policy thinktank Green Alliance.

Pressure grows for shipping industry to decarbonise ahead of climate summit.

I really enjoyed this episode chatting with Andrew Middleton, Managing Director at British Gas Zero and Steve Petrie, regional manager at British Gas Zero who also is a former British Gas engineer. I brought along for the ride my friend Adam Gilhespy from Carno to help me host the conversation as he also is a former British Gas engineer and like Andrew  understands strategy and processes. For anyone who knows my podcast I started it so on the ground engineers could have a more amplified voice. Unfortunately, in the energy discourses I'm privileged to be a part of these days the coal face engineers are not always being listened too.It is why it was refreshing when Andrew reached out and asked if he could come chat with us on the podcast. Andrew is one of my listeners and openly admits he has found it extremely useful to listen and learn from the engineers I have had on the show. Enjoy the showSupport the show

As shipping faces pressure to tackle its greenhouse gas emissions, will it be shipowners, charterers or another stakeholder who's going to pay the cost of going green? For an answer, we listen in to the TradeWinds Shipowners Forum Singapore. TradeWinds editor-in-chief Julian Bray moderates a discussion with NYK Line's Masahiro Takahashi, Mitsui OSK Lines' Nobuo Shiotsu, Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation's Sanjay Kuttan, Sing Fuels' Sionnich Thomsen and Fortescue Future Industries' Andrew Hoare.

In the seventh episode of Season 11 of the Propcast, host Louisa Dickins is joined by Chris Oldham Senior Policy and Programme Manager at City of London Corporation and Hannah Vickers, Chief of Staff at Mace   Episode Highlights: •  What the ‘Skills for Sustainable Skyline Taskforce' is and the work they are doing •  Why it is unusual to have a Chief of Staff role in the construction industry •  The trends that Hannah has seen within the sector over the last few years •  The workforce engagement campaign that Chris is helping to run to ensure they have the right people in key roles •  Why we need a more joined up approach to engage schools when looking to bring the     future workforce in •  The misconceptions on what a career in the build environment is like •  Creating a clearer path both into the industry and being able to retrain within the industry •  The importance of addressing the skills gap •  The current innovation trends within the sector   Resources: •  LMRE Global Recruitment and Search Consultancy •  LMRE YouTube Interviews •  PropTech Salary Report, LMRE 2022 •  Skills for Sustainable Skyline Taskforce •  Construction Leadership Council •  Women in Construction Tech •  BIM Academy Shout outs: •  Antonia Soler •  Bola Abisogun   Key Takeaways:  •  I began my career as a primary school teacher, which gave me a real interest in how we     can best equip our young people for the careers of tomorrow. - Chris  •  We're encouraging the existing workforce for the full project lifecycle of sustainable     buildings to upskill, to reskill with those green skills that we've identified in the research,     and also to attract a large cohort of diverse new entrants from untapped pools of talent,     particularly looking at women, more young people, people from ethnic minority     backgrounds into the build environment. - Chris  •  One of the first trends that I came across was how much our productivity improved during     covid. - Hannah  •  We are the second highest paying sector in the UK. So if you think about people having     lifelong careers and retraining, you could potentially retrain and come into construction,     but still be as well paid or better paid than you might be in another sector. - Hannah  •  I think how we tap into those pools of talent, we need to look at developing a more     flexible approach to work as well, which in practice is probably offering hybrid work. -     Chris  •  We're going to need people who can work to those requirements, who can understand     what that means for the construction process. So if you like it's not a hard sell. It's a sort      of requirement to be able to function as a business going forward. So that's why for us, it's     so important. - Hannah   About Our Host Louisa Dickins Louisa is the co-founder of LMRE, which has rapidly become the market leading global PropTech recruitment platform and search consultancy with operations across North America, United Kingdom, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Fadhel Kaboub is a former Associate Professor of Economics at Denison University where he researched political economy, decarbonisation, colonialism, and the financial and agricultural policies necessary to facilitate a global—and just—green transition. Since recording, Fadhel has been appointed Under-Secretary-General for Financing for Development at the international intergovernmental organisation, Organisation of Educational Cooperation.This episode is thrilling. Fadhel explains the traps of inflation, debt, globalisation, and the financial and agricultural policies weaponised by the global north to exploit the global south. He walks us through the three structural traps which keep wealth pouring out of the global south into the global north, amounting to modern colonialism. And he explains why we can afford a just transition, revealing the exciting mechanisms of Modern Monetary Theory by exploring the solutions global south countries can implement to ensure their sustainable development."You can't decarbonise a system that hasn't been decolonized yet, economically speaking. Similarly, you can't democratise a system that hasn't been decolonised yet.Because you can't meet the aspirations of your people and meet their needs in terms of food or housing or quality of life if your economic paralyses you and prevents you from serving those needs, and requires of you to serve the needs of the global supply chains in manufacturing or energy and so on."Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis—and what to do about it.© Rachel Donald Get full access to Planet: Critical at www.planetcritical.com/subscribe

"When we protect the environment, we need to do it in a way that protects economic growth as well, because this brings huge social and economical benefits."Today's conversation is with Professor Pericles Pilidis. Pericles completed his doctorate in Gas Turbine Engineering at Glasgow University for many years he was the director of the Thermal Power Masters course and Head of the Gas Turbine Engineering Group at Cranfield University. Since 1994 he has been working on Hydrogen projects for gas turbines in air, land & sea applications and has published many papers on the subject. Which is why I wanted to have him on the show. In the effort to tackle climate change we need to take advantage of every known technological solution. Currently Pilidis takes large part in gas turbine research and postgraduate education, is the course director of the masters of science in Thermal power and contributes to hydrogen projects. His career has seen him work with Rolls Royce, Airbus, EasyJet and Boeing, among many others.Video version: https://youtu.be/p_-rAgmwhwAThe key topics in today's episode:04:00 - Perclies Background06:30 - What is sustainability09:00 - Hydrogen power12:00 - The source of hydrogen17:00 - The cost of Hydrogen19:00 - Powering the UK with renewables23:00 - Improving gas turbines25:00 - The lack of resources27:00 - Hydrogen powered aircrafts (slides)33:00 - The challenges to overcome for hydrogen37:00 - Decarbonise the UK40:00 - Powering the world43:00 - Importing energy47:00 - Hydro powered cars54:00 - The role of consumers58:00 - Will renewables make travel more expensive01:01:00 - Hydrogen powered tankersResources:Connect with Pericles:Email | p.pilidis@cranfield.ac.ukPublications | https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=author:%22Pilidis%20P%22 LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/pericles-pilidis/Get 10% Off Four Sigmatic With Code: PLANT10foursigmaticinternational.sjv.io/P0kPPQConnect with me:Instagram | @plant.paradigmYouTube | The Plant ParadigmTwitter | @plantparadigmWebsite | www.theplantparadigm.comSubscribe to the podcast:Apple | Spotify Stay happy,Eat plants,Peace

In this latest installment of EG Property Podcast's  Fundamentals of the Future programme, a series of listens focusing on real estate's role in the helping solve the world's climate crisis, EG editor Samantha McClary introduces an hour-long roundtable, hosted by Civic Engineers, that brings together a collection of experts from across the built environment to talk about the big issues real estate faces and the big solutions it can and should be coming up with. Listen in to understand more about the need for retrofit to be a sexier word than development, the role that placemaking has in greening up our built environment and the policy changes needed to turn real estate from a polluter to a protector of the planet. An advisory warning for listeners. This roundtable was not recorded in a studio so at times you may need to lean in a little closer to the conversation. But while the quality of sound may not always be top notch, the content most definitely is. Enjoy.

In this conversation, I speak with Mark Gallagher - author, conference speaker and Managing Director of Performance Insights, an organisation that provides corporate clients with deep-dive insights and executive coaching from the world of Formula One. His book, "The Business of Winning: Insights in Transformation from F1 to the Boardroom", is a compelling insider's account of nearly 40 years in the Formula One industry, in which he explores what it takes to succeed in a competitive business with high technology, high finance and immensely high stakes. Having joined the world of Formula One back in 1983, Mark's career includes more than a decade on the management board of the highly successful, race winning Jordan Grand Prix team, running the world famous Cosworth engine business, and establishing the commercial arm of Red Bull Racing which went on to become 4-times World Champions. During his career he has worked with many of the sport's leading drivers, including former World Champions Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and Jenson Button. Today he works closely with a number of the sport's major stars including David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen and Jacques Villeneuve. Mark may not seem like the most obvious guest to have on the show, but what has consistently struck me in our various conversations together, is the power and potential that his industry holds, in helping us to innovate, collaborate and imagine our way out of some of the most pressing issues of our time - most crucially, how we can unhook ourselves from reliance on fossil fuels, and decarbonise our energy industries. Recorded on 18th May 2022.

Decarbonising Heat is a significant challenge on the road to Net-Zero, Climate Resilience and Energy Security. It is also a very complex problem as there are several categories of heat that require different technical solutions. While Heat Pumps can (and will) provide low grade heat, the options for high grade heat are evading electrification and will continue to rely on burning molecules.Several start-ups on the US West Coast are tackling the challenge, with the support of powerful Venture Capital funds such as Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Ventures.To understand how those groundbreaking applications looks, we have invited a young prodigy on the show. Tony Pan, CEO and Co-founder of Modern Electron, explains his approach to Ultra Energy-Efficiency in Heat. Once scaled, Modern Electron's innovations will significantly enhance the climate performances of heating.We thank our partner DLA Piper for its support
