Podcasts about energy review

In this third installment of the 2023 REthink Energy series, co-organised by the IIEA and ESB, Laura Sandys, CBE, describes the architecture of the new, decarbonised energy system: distributed in nature, disruptive in character, and requiring a new way of delivering stability, resilience and cost reductions for consumers. She speaks about the digitalisation that lies at the heart of the new energy system, and what this means for system operators, generators, networks, and retailers. She also focuses on a new player in the modern energy system, which she says is its most important component: the customer. About the Speaker: Laura Sandys, CBE, is the former Chair of the UK Government's Energy Digitalisation Taskforce, and the current Chair of both the Green Alliance and the British Standards Institute Advisory Board on Net Zero. She is also on the board of the Energy Systems Catapult, Ohme Global and Highview Power. She was Chair of the Northern Ireland Expert Panel on Energy Transition and was a member of the Advisory Panel for the Government's Cost of Energy Review, and is on the Ministerial Council for Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage. She is the founder of the Food Foundation, co-founder of POWERful Women, and former Deputy Chair of the Food Standards Agency. She was previously a Member of Parliament for South Thanet, and was described by The Times as ‘one of the sanest of all MPs' and as ‘lateral-minded, original and free-thinking'.

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a legal requirement for organisations of a certain size or value. The scheme is designed to make companies look at how they use energy with a view to improving performance.  If your organisation qualifies for ESOS, you have until December 5th to comply or complete your phase 3 reporting. Last week Mel explained the Energy Audits route to compliance, which is a process that must be repeated every 4 years. Companies that want to avoid the inevitable rush to get reports submitted before the deadline may want to consider a more long-term commitment to ensure continued compliance, that being the Implementation of ISO 50001.   ISO 50001 is the standard for Energy Management, and it goes above and beyond what is required of ESOS. Companies certified to this standard are already considered compliant to ESOS with out the need to complete any additional reporting outside of what is already monitored and measured by the standard. Join Mel this week as she explains what ISO 50001 is, how it complies with ESOS requirements and the key differences between other environmental standards such as ISO 14001. You'll learn ●      What is ISO 50001? ●      How ISO 50001 complies with ESOS? ●      What is the difference between ISO 50001 and ISO 14001?   Resources ·       ESOS ·       ISO 50001   In this episode, we talk about: [00:50] Watch our previous episode to learn more about Energy Audits [01:00] Reminder: Companies certified to ISO 50001 do not have to carry our Energy Audits. [01:14] What is ISO 50001? This is the Energy Management Standard, a globally recognised best practice framework designed to help manage a companies energy performance, optimise their energy efficiency and reduce their overall impact. [01:50] Why have a Standard for Energy Management? This standard is most appliable for businesses who are looking to put measures in place to reduce their overall environmental impact, specifically in relation to energy management. Businesses who operate data centers or large healthcare facilities will use a lot of energy, many Implement ISO 50001 to help reduce their costs for energy.    [02:48] Why Implement ISO 50001 if you already have ISO 14001? – ISO 50001 is specifically aimed at the energy aspect of environmental impact. It helps businesses to take a deeper look at their operations and how their managing energy performance. If you already have ISO 14001, you're already half-way there, and ISO 50001 could easily be integrated as an enhancement to your Management System. [03:25] If you want to claim ESOS compliance, it's important to ensure that your ISO 50001 certification is valid for the compliance date. [03:50] If you want to go down the ISO 50001 route, the time to act in now (April / May 2023) – You will need to factor in a minimum of 6 months to Implement ISO 50001. Need help with this? Contact us! [04:40] There has been an increase in uptake of ISO 50001, which has put a lot of UK certification Bodies under pressure to get Assessments booked in before the ESOS deadline. So get in touch with a few UKAS accredited Certification Bodies ASAP to find out if they can accommodate you in an appropriate time frame. We offer a quote request service for free, simply contact us for more info. [05:50] More about ISO 50001 – It's based on the Plan-Do-Act-Check cycle, which is a familiar structure to a lot of ISO's. Many aspects of ISO 50001 Implementation will be similar to the likes of ISO 9001, i.e. having policies and procedures in place and conducting Internal Audits ect.   [06:34] How does ISO 50001 differ from ISO 14001? – The main difference is the requirement for an Energy Review. This is all about understanding how you're using energy as an organisation, then using that information to recommend controls to reduce energy use. [07:43] You will be able to determine your Energy Performance Indicators following on from an Energy Review. These help to establish a clear roadmap and energy controls for reducing energy usage. For example, you could put controls in place for certain equipment, LED light replacements, cycle to work or car share schemes ect. [08:45] What is the benefit of ISO 50001 over Energy Audits?: ISO 50001 puts a whole system in place to continually Improve your energy performance through controls and procedures. Energy Audits will only tell you about your current energy use and provide recommendations for Improvement with no clear roadmap or further incentive to Implement those changes. [09:00] What else is involved with ISO 50001?: Another key aspect of ISO 50001 is the continued monitoring and measurement of energy performance. This can then be reported back to the board so they can see the progress being made. [10:00] What are the key clauses in ISO 50001? ISO 50001 went under a revision in 2018 to align itself with Annex SL, which is common across a lot of other ISO's. The 10 clauses are as follows: ·       Clauses 1,2,3 – Explanatory clauses. You won't Implement these, they simply provide context and help with key terms and definitions. ·       Clause 4 – Context of the Organisation ·       Clause 5 – Leadership ·       Clause 6 – Planning ·       Clause 7 – Support ·       Clause 8 – Operations ·       Clause 9 – Performance Evaluation ·       Clause 10 – Improvement [11:00] Want more info on ISO 50001? – Head on over to the isologyhub to get access to a wealth of ISO 50001, and energy management tools For those interested in ISO 50001, we're offering  a free copy of the Standard to anyone who signs up for Implementation with us before the 16th June.

We're joined again by Paul Robinson, Managing Consultant at Blackmores. Last week Paul summarised the importance of energy management and introduced us to ISO 50001. This week, he delves deeper into the individual clauses of the Standard to break down what's required in a typical Energy Management System.   What you'll learn: The main clauses and requirements of ISO 50001 Examples of ISO 50001's application in other Businesses based on Paul's experience   What are the main clauses of ISO 50001? ISO 50001 has been aligned with the Annex SL format since 2018 so that it may be more easily integrated with other ISO Standards. The clauses are as follows: Clauses 1, 2 and 3 – These are all explanatory clauses, starting with the scope, then Normative References and lastly Terms and Definitions.   Clause 4 – Context of the Organisation: Here you would define the scope and boundaries of your energy management system and understanding the processes affected. This includes looking at your energy inputs and outputs. You'll also address any energy issues that affect you and interested parties involved.     Clause 5 – Leadership: This refers to Top Management commitment, which is necessary if you want your energy management system to be successful. They will need to provide resources required to implement an energy policy, and to define roles and responsibilities.   Clause 6 – Planning: This is a central pillar behind every Energy Management System as it talks about strategic and tactical considerations. This includes high-level issues, the needs and expectations of interested parties and the risks and opportunities associated with them in an energy context.     This clause also includes an Energy Review, which will help you build a picture of your energy sources and current consumption. From that you can start setting your Objectives and Targets and actions going forward using energy baselines and energy performance indicators established from the Energy Review.   Clause 7 – Support: This clause talks about provision of resources, competencies, awareness, communication and documented information required for energy management.   Clause 8 – Operation: This is where operational controls are defined to help you manage your energy effectively. It also covers design and procurement, which means procuring of energy, consuming assets and having effective processes in place to ensure energy is a key consideration when making infrastructure changes.     Clause 9 – Performance Evaluation: ISO 50001 is very data driven and clause 9 states the requirements for monitoring and measurement of your energy use, which will be used to demonstrate your improvement in energy efficiency. This clause also covers Internal Audits and Management Review to ensure the Management System is performing effectively.   Clause 10 – Improvement: This clause talks about taking opportunities that drive continual improvement in the Management System, but also recognizing that sometimes things go wrong. It also addresses significant deviations and a structure to investigate and correct those deviations to keep the management system on track.   What can go wrong?: Based on his experience, Paul highlighted some issues he's seen in existing Management Systems: Not aligning an Energy Management system with Company Objectives Lack of financial resources Having the Management system built and run by only one person – This becomes a single point of failure Confusion in responding to energy deviations – lack of communication of a process to correct non-conformities Rushed creation – Energy Management Systems created in a short span of time may not be properly embedded into the business and can lead to the issues listed above.   That's it from Paul this week!

Today we're joined by Paul Robinson, Managing Consultant at Blackmores. Paul is here to introduce the Energy Management Standard, ISO 50001, why it's important and give you an overview of its basic structure. What you'll learn: Why energy management is so critical in the current climate crisis The main purpose of ISO 50001 A summary of the clauses within ISO 50001   Why have an Energy Management Standard? There's a big focus on trying to maintain global warming to that 1.5 degrees increase. Right now, we're failing on that. In order to get this back on track we need to consider our current energy consumption. During COP26 we heard a lot about phasing out coal power, unfortunately there are some countries who are resistant to that and as a result have had the requirements watered down. Regardless, energy use continues to rise as does the demand. Energy Management is particularly relevant for organisations who want to measure their impact and put measures in place to reduce their environmental footprint.   Why is it so important to restrict Global Warming to 1.5 degrees? It's literally the difference between survival. We're at a tipping point now, failing to stick to this 1.5 degrees will result in rising sea levels and rising temperatures. Paul shares his experience working in Cyprus where it's not uncommon now for the temperature to reach 45 degrees. This isn't sustainable and it will get to the point where it's difficult for humans to survive if we keep going at this rate.    What is the main purpose of ISO 50001? ISO 50001 includes continually improving energy performance, energy efficiency, energy use and energy consumption. Building an energy management system will help you to understand, monitor and measure your use of energy, and like most other ISO's, continual improvement is at the heart of ISO 50001. Key factors it addresses are energy performance, energy efficiency and energy consumption.   What are the main clauses of ISO 50001? ISO 50001 went through it's latest revision in 2018, aligning it with the Annex SL format that many other ISO's use. The clauses are as follows: Clauses 1, 2 and 3 – These are all explanatory clauses, starting with the scope, then Normative References and lastly Terms and Definitions.   Clause 4 – Context of the Organisation: Here you would define the scope and boundaries of your energy management system and understanding the processes affected. This includes looking at your energy inputs and outputs. You'll also address any energy issues that affect you and interested parties involved.     Clause 5 – Leadership: This refers to Top Management commitment, which is necessary if you want your energy management system to be successful. They will need to provide resources required to implement an energy policy, and to define roles and responsibilities.   Clause 6 – Planning: This is a central pillar behind every Energy Management System as it talks about strategic and tactical considerations. This includes high-level issues, the needs and expectations of interested parties and the risks and opportunities associated with them in an energy context.     This clause also includes an Energy Review, which will help you build a picture of your energy sources and current consumption.

In this installment of the Climate Risk Podcast we are joined by renowned economist Professor Sir Dieter Helm, whose extensive experience of advising governments on energy and natural capital helps us cut through the hype and face the realities of reaching net zero. In the run up to Glasgow's COP26 as part of the global ‘race to zero' initiative, we have seen a significant rise in commitments to reach net zero at both the national and firm level. But there are many routes to get there, different policy options, and of course difficult trade-offs to be considered. With all this activity, separating the noise from the substance and charting the right course can be challenging. That's why today's conversation will be a sobering and honest discussion about the nature and scale of the challenge. Critiques of existing policy and ‘net zero' commitments will be explored, as well as a roadmap for a country to achieve net zero in a way that genuinely ends its contribution to global climate change. This episode will directly address: why achieving net zero doesn't necessarily end your contribution to global climate change; whether offsets are ever acceptable; and if growth is possible in a net zero world   Prof. Sir Dieter Helm's website: http://www.dieterhelm.co.uk/ A link through to Prof. Sir Dieter Helm's authored works, including the subject of today's show, Net Zero: How We Stop Causing Climate Change: http://www.dieterhelm.co.uk/books/   For more information on climate risk, visit GARP's Climate Resources Hub: https://climate.garp.org/ If you have any questions, thoughts or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you at: climateriskpodcast@garp.com   ------------------   Sir Dieter Helm - Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford and Fellow in Economics at New College   Sir Dieter Helm is Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford and Fellow in Economics at New College, Oxford. He was Independent Chair of the Natural Capital Committee, providing advice to the government on the sustainable use of natural capital, until the end of the second term of the Committee in November 2020.  In the New Year 2021 Honours List, Dieter was awarded a knighthood for services to the environment, energy and utilities policy. He has written many books, most recently Net Zero (September 2020, William Collins) in which he addresses the action we all need to take to tackle the climate emergency. His other books include: Green & Prosperous Land  (2019, William Collins), Burn Out: The Endgame for Fossil Fuels  (2017), The Carbon Crunch: Revised and Updated (2015) and Natural Capital: Valuing the Planet  (2016), all published by Yale University Press. Dieter has provided extensive advice to UK and European governments, including The Cost of Energy Review for the UK government in October 2017 and for the European Commission in preparing the Energy Roadmap 2030. He served both as a special advisor to the European Commissioner for Energy and as Chairman of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on the Roadmap. He also assisted the Polish government in its presidency of the European Union Council. Dieter is Chairman of Natural Capital Research, developing natural capital models and assessments for the better use of land, and Honorary Vice President of the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.

In this episode, Aurora’s Research Director Richard Howard spoke with Dieter Helm CBE, Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford, about Dieter's recent book 'Net Zero: How We Stop Causing Climate Change'. Dieter is also Chair of the Natural Capital Committee and has provided extensive advice to the UK and European governments on many issues, including 'The Cost of Energy Review' for the UK’s government in 2017 and for the European Commission in developing 'The Energy Roadmap 2030'. Dieter and Richard discuss: • Dieter’s motivation for writing his new book • Carbon pricing as a necessary condition for decarbonisation • EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme and Germany’s National Plan for Decarbonisation

Oil tried really hard to sell off recently but could not really go down. I am wondering if we are at an inflection point. I talk about sentiment changes in oil and how they played out in the past. Is the recent BP 2020 Energy Review a bottom call on oil? I also point out that everybody's favorite EV maker Tesla is getting their lunch eaten in Europe. Doesnt matter to us as we will win regardless of who sells the most EV cars. Interested in knowing how I translate the information in these videos into investment ideas?
