Access to Energy
KOKO’s Smart Fuel ATMs enable ultra-clean cooking at scale in emerging market cities
KoKo Networks
KOKO’s innovations are driving the switch from deforestation-based charcoal cooking to a sustainable alternative that reduces carbon emissions while protecting Africa's forests. KOKO's low-cost two-burner stove runs on liquid bioethanol, a by-product of the local sugar industry. In local shops, 700 KOKO Fuel ATMs dispense fuel through cashless transactions into ‘Smart Canisters’ that come with the stove, saving customers 50% vs charcoal. 230,000 Nairobi households have already switched to cooking with KOKO.

His dedication resulted in obtaining 17 granted patents from USPTO, filing more than 30 new patents and publishing more than 15 technical papers.
Energy Management
GRAHAM - climate action
GRAHAM
At GRAHAM we recognise the enormity of the challenge that we face in rapidly reducing energy use and carbon and we recognise the implications for the future of our planet where we do not move decisively enough to tackle the climate crisis. For these reasons, we have set out our board advocated 'Climate Action Strategy' to outline our vision and ambition for net zero across our entire value chain (scope 1,2 and 3). It includes a roadmap with specific short and long-term actions toward reducing energy use and transitioning to net zero.
Energy task force on a mission
Klockner Pentaplast
By the end of 2025, we will increase energy efficiency by 17% against a 2019 baseline. Enabling us to deliver more products to meet rising demand, all without increasing our energy use. We are actively planning for a future where our sites either buy or generate considerably more renewable energy so that we're able to meet our ambitious emissions targets.
Baseline reduction campaign
Rolls-Royce
Traditional Monitoring and Targeting techniques were used to drive energy and GHG savings during a period of capital starvation and changing working patterns. These activities raised energy awareness levels amongst participants as the results were published frequently to senior managers and manufacturing leads. Savings of £800k are realised to date.
Environment
East Anglia ONE environment team
ScottishPower Renewables
SPR's EAONE Environment Team went far beyond its statutory responsibility, putting extensive plans in place protecting the area from construction impacts. The team not only looked after the environment, they enhanced it, protecting and attracting native species and setting the standard for energy infrastructure to work in harmony with nature.
Advanced Fuel Cycle Programme (AFCP)
National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL)
AFCP is driving innovation to underpin a clean energy future in the United Kingdom. Part of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy's (BEIS) £505m Energy Innovation Programme 'a portion of which marks the biggest public investment in nuclear fission in a generation' AFCP is investigating the role of advanced nuclear fuels and fuel cycles for a net zero future. With UK Government committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, AFCP is laying the foundation from which Britain can maximise its current capability, meet net zero and continue deploying sustainable fuel and recycling concepts through the future.
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens living campus
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
The aim of Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens' Living Campus project was to restore a dilapidated lot into a beautiful, useful space that demonstrates that efficient, net-zero buildings are engaging and healthy for people and the ecosystems in which they are nested. The project consists of three different sustainable constructions, each representing a different construction type: the Center for Sustainable Landscapes (CSL) (new), the Nature Lab (modular) and the Exhibit Staging Center (ESC) (adaptive reuse).
HDGPD air quality and environmental emissions improvement
Saudi Aramco
Part of Saudi Aramco's environmental sustainability, this project is considered exceptional, because it yielded a drastic improvement in sustainable greenhouse gas emissions reduction and air quality improvements for the plant. The project yielded significant operational efficiency enhancement, environmental emission rates improvement for the facility by reducing flaring by 56.4 %, sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission by 92% and carbon dioxide (CO2) by 5% that beyond design and compliance. Moreover, it resolved many operational challenges that have been there since the startup of the plant. Operating SRU was challenging due to low efficiency in the reaction furnace, low mass velocity and fogging in condensers, difficulties maintaining tail gas ratio, and low recovery efficiency.
Health and Safety
Thrive for Ørsted
Active Training Team
Thrive is a multi-media immersive programme at a purpose-built centre on the Humber. Though based on a wind power specific scenario developed with Ørsted, Thrive was designed to be relevant to renewables, ports and a range of high-risk industrial sectors. Thrive is a stimulating safe space for people to practise and develop their skills; bridging the gap between theoretical learning models and the reality of the workplace.
CANdrops - dropped object prevention
CAN Group
Potential Dropped Objects (PDO) continues to pose a serious industry-wide safety concern. Historically, PDO reports were reviewed following a survey and then actioned in the future, which presents significant and ongoing risks. There was often little understanding holistically of the risk of PDOs as issues would be fed into other systems and get '˜lost' amongst data. Developing CANdrops, tablet-based reporting interfaced with a digital portal, bespoke multi-skilled teams experienced in assessing and removing PDOs, together with an immediate '˜find and fix' strategy/process, helps to efficiently identify, eliminate, mitigate and remediate potential harm and threats posed by PDO's, ultimately ensuring workplace safety for people and plant.
COVID-19 - We are in this together
Schlumberger
Schlumberger leadership decided to share our COVID-19 response resources, including our COVID-19 Life-Saving Rules, documentation and app, with our industry, customers, contractors, competitors and communities where we live and work. These tools assisted us to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to preserve life, an ultimate responsibility for us all.
Innovative Technology
Sensor Ball - mini logging robot
Aramco Services Company
Sensor Ball technology aims to replace conventional tools for temperature and pressure logging particularly for well integrity monitoring but not limited to it. The small footprint, low cost, and autonomous operation makes it possible to log wells by spending a few minutes at the well-site. High resolution data provides important feedback to the engineers for diagnosing problems. It also prevents the safety risks and CO2 emissions associated with the wireline logging. This disruptive technology is a paradigm shift in well logging and surveillance business.
Eco Wave Power onshore wave energy technology
Eco Wave Power
The successful implementation of Eco Wave Power's Gibraltar wave energy power station is a scientific breakthrough that proved that wave energy power is a viable source of clean electricity. When observing the energy situation in Gibraltar, we can see that most of its' electricity is generated by diesel, which is highly polluting and expensive. EWP wave energy station will supply 15% of all of Gibraltar's electricity with a green source, improving air quality and therefore life quality. The EWP technology will provide clean energy to locations that have limited grid access and will serve to lower the pollution levels by adding a clean energy source to the energy mix. The success of the Gibraltar project paves the way to EWP's continued growth, allowing us to begin developing commercial-scale projects around the world.
Breakthrough Cloud digital innovation transforms critical offshore safety process

Aberla Energy was awarded a contract in 2019 by Cheshire West and Chester Council (CW&C) to undertake a solar and battery storage installation programme across the Authority's building portfolio. Aberla provided design, supply, installation and maintenance services for over 175 properties across the County.
Eday, Orkney: using digital twins to produce a net zero community
IES
Our aim was to determine ways in which the Orkney island of Eday could reduce its reliance on grid imports and fossil fuels, whilst also identifying steps towards making it a Zero or Positive-Energy Community. It was found that a net zero, positive energy status could be achieved with a reduction in total community energy use of 76%, with the remaining energy requirement delivered via the existing home wind turbine generation and a new 2MWh community battery. This would eliminate fossil fuel consumption on the island completely.
