A unique invitation to engage Nordic citizens in the green transition This year's Nordic Energy Challenge is well underway, with the theme Citizen Engagement focusing on how we can best engage Nordic citizens in the green transition to make the Nordics the most sustainable and integrated region in the world. A continuous jury member since 2020, Klaus Skytte, CEO of Nordic Energy Research, will assess this year's contributions, together with a jury of highly qualified representatives from the Nordic energy community. Skytte invites Nordic stakeholders with different profiles and expertise to bring forth their ideas: "We need inclusive processes to ensure that it is a holistic transition that considers all aspects and impacts. This raises several challenges that we, with the Nordic Energy Challenge, would like to draw attention to and find solutions for." Submit your proposals for innovative solutions to the Nordic Energy Challenge 2024 by 16 May, 13:00 (CEST), at the latest.

Meet SOCSEA24 Speaker: Will Apps, Offshore Wind Strategy Director, Marine, The Crown Estate SOCSEA24 is fast approaching and around 460 attendees will be preparing to head to Maritime Greenwich, London from September 9-10, where the theme of the conference is To Be Truly Blue, We Must Also Think Green : Developing A Sustainable Blue Economy Needs Both Environmental Protection & Economic Activities To Go Hand -In – Hand. Every conference we hand select keynote speakers to give insightful talks that explore sustainable practices and business opportunities in the maritime realm, across a wide range of subjects, to foster learning, inspiration, and wonder – and provoke conversations that matter, and this year is no different. National Maritime and the University of Greenwich always go for the brightest minds and for the ' Floating Offshore Wind Unlocks New Opportunities and Challenges ' session on this year’s Blue Invest stage , we chose Will Apps, Offshore Wind Strategy Director, Marine, The Crown Estate. Will is responsible for the offshore wind strategy of The Crown Estate, the business that is responsible for the seabed rights of England, Wales & Northern Ireland, alongside supporting nature and the rich biodiversity of our seas and helping to rejuvenate local economies and communities. With 20 years’ experience in the sector, Will has directly contributed to the strategic evolution of the UK market, working alongside governments, stakeholders and the industry. Will oversees The Crown Estate’s enabling and derisking activities focussed on securing the sustainable and coordinated growth of the pipeline and the industry. In the race to net zero, Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) energy will play a critically important role in the production of the clean, green energy. Discover how the evolution of FOW is already unlocking, new hugely valuable opportunities for all.

🌟We are thrilled to announce that registration is officially OPEN for the #CE4EUIslands Forum 2024! 🌟 🌍 Taking place on the Island of Pantelleria, Italy, on 14-15 May 2024, this forum promises to be a facilitator for actors in the realm of #cleanenergy and island #sustainability. With this year's motto "The power of islands: building resilience through renewables," the forum brings together representatives from 30 selected islands and island groups, along with key stakeholders from the EU islands community. What can you expect at the forum? 🌿 🏝 Comprehensive insights into ongoing technical assistance initiatives aimed at supporting clean energy transitions on European islands. 🏝 Engaging discussions on crosscutting issues relevant to the clean energy transition. 🏝 Networking opportunities with island stakeholders to understand their specific challenges and needs. 🏝 Highlights from a legal and regulatory study on national policies supporting clean energy transitions on European islands. 🏝 Exploration of Pantelleria's innovative approaches to the energy transition. While the main event will be held in Pantelleria, selected agenda points will be live-streamed to ensure broader participation. Whether you're an island representative, a clean energy enthusiast, or a stakeholder in the renewable energy sector, this forum is your chance to be part of driving sustainable change in the energy landscape. Ready to register? Visit the EU islands secretariat website to secure your spot! Remember, on-site participation registration closes on 30 April 2024. ➡ https://lnkd.in/e9ssddSy For any inquiries about the forum, feel free to reach out to the secretariat at info@euislands.eu. Let's grow this community to shape a greener, more sustainable future! 🌿💡

Today is World Sustainable Energy Day 2024, with the theme: "Energy transition now – fast, smart, resilient!" This is an international "awareness" day about the "importance of preserving our natural resources by highlighting energy and water sustainability, reducing carbon footprint, utilising renewable energy, preserving fossil fuels, and supporting the green economy." It's unusual, as although this is the actual International Day, it heralds one of Europe's largest annual conferences on climate that only takes place (over 5 days) in March in Austria; with up to 1000 delegates from 55-60 countries. We hope that in the years to come, South Africa will be up there on the stage, sharing the successes and innovations we have achieved. #renewableenergy #greeneconomy #worldsustainablenergyday

📅 ✍ Registrations are now open for our next Commercialisation Day, which will focus on Green Energy! 📍 The event will take place at ESA HQ Nikis, in the heart of Paris, on 15 April, and will be structured around two main topics: ✅ Energy Sustainability  ✅ Energy Resilience…

I had the privilege to attend a reception hosted by Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson, Minister for the Environment, Energy, and Climate, where we celebrated the official visit of the US Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm. The highlight of the event was the launch of the U.S. – Iceland Energy and Climate Partnership, which aims to foster collaboration in addressing global energy and climate challenges. During the reception, Secretary Jennifer Granholm shared an inspiring quote from Sigmar Gabriel, Foreign Minister of Germany, emphasizing how energy transition can contribute to a safer and fairer world. It's a sentiment that resonates deeply with our collective mission towards sustainability. Both Minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson and Secretary Granholm highlighted the unique geothermal energy knowledge and skills Iceland possesses, particularly in areas like geothermal energy, geothermal utilization and carbon capture technology. This partnership will focus on leveraging Iceland's expertise to drive the energy transition across Europe, moving away from fossil fuels towards more sustainable alternatives. I'm thrilled to be a part of this initiative as a member of the GeoSilica team. GeoSilica Iceland has developed innovative technology to extract silica and heavy metals from geothermal water, optimizing the utilization of this valuable resource. It's worth noting that 10% of all carbon emissions stem from mining activities, including the mining of resources and raw materials like silica. This statistic underscores the importance of innovative solutions like the ones GeoSilica offers, mitigating the environmental impact of mining operations. GeoSilica produces carbon neutral silica and we strongly believe clean enegy start with clean mining! Our contribution aligns perfectly with the goals of the U.S. – Iceland Energy and Climate Partnership, and I'm eager to see where this collaboration will take us. Cheers to a greener, more sustainable future! #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #partnershipgoals Fida Abu Libdeh #cleantech #cleanenergy #geothermalenergy GeoSilica Iceland Steinunn Ósk Valsdóttir, Burkni Pálsson FKA - Félag kvenna í atvinnulífinu
