The Energy Institute and CATCH are pleased to be hosting an Energy conference on 25th September 2018.
Details:
The Conference is set in the Humber region, an area branded as the "Energy Estuary" that has brought power to the UK for decades in the form of coal, oil and gas and more recently from renewable sources such as wind and biodiesel.
The region currently imports 1/3 of the UK’s coal and a significant amount of biomass, which fuels local power stations that produce 17% of the UK’s electricity. The region also lands 1/5 of the UK’s natural gas and refines 1/3 of the UK’s fuel. It has 3 of the largest wind farms in the world just off the coast and supports many aspects of these projects from manufacture of turbine blades at the Siemens plant in Hull, to operational and maintenance activity in Grimsby.
The Humber is also the number one in the UK for biofuel production. The Humber LEP believes that the region can play a leading part in responding to the “Clean Growth” Grand Challenge set by the Government in its Industrial Strategy for the UK – not only in low carbon energy generation, goods and services, but also in the more efficient use of energy and resources by industry. With two refineries and strengths in steel, chemicals and process industries, the Humber has one of the largest concentrations of energy intensive industries in the country.
It is fitting that this conference is being held at CATCH, an industry-led membership organisation that supports the Humber and Yorkshire region in the chemical process, engineering, energy and renewables sectors. CATCH has over 80 core Member companies and 250 organisations through the supply chain within its network, and has recently been one of the key stakeholders behind the commissioning of a study into the Humber High Energy Intensive Industry Cluster in the region.
This Conference will also take the opportunity to launch the latest version of the Bondholders’ Energy Estuary map. This is an exciting opportunity to showcase the region and drive forward the Energy Estuary brand.
We are delighted to have a number of key speakers from industry within the region for the Conference who will highlight some of the work being driven forward in in the energy sector within the region, and we are also particularly pleased to announce that the Chief Executive of the Energy Institute will deliver an address outlining the work of the Energy Institute.
