Many thanks to Reuters Events for inviting H2 Green Steel to share our story and to you Oleksiy Tatarenko for highly knowledgeable and reflective questions about our journey to reach FID for a large scale green hydrogen based steel mill. Yes I agree with you - Boden is our first step to decarbonize hard to abate sectors but not the last. Hydrogen is not a silver bullet for decarbonization, but it is definitely part of the solution for the steel value chain - if you are developing in the right location with the right partners and team!

The #EUelections2024 are taking place in less than 6 weeks, and will be of critical importance to ensure the #GreenDeal and its ambitions live on and are implemented. EuropeOn and its members are committed to a swift #EnergyTransition, powered by #electrification and leading to the creation of skilled and local job opportunities. To this end, EuropeOn's Manifesto calls on incoming EU policymakers to set a clear path for clean #electrification and secure enough qualified workers to implement our objectives. This week, we hear from Troels Blicher Danielsen, CEO of our Danish member-association TEKNIQ Arbejdsgiverne, on the need to attract more workers to the electrical sector.

April flashback: memorable moments from our #ConneqtrRoadshow2024 on the Digital Future in the Construction Sector with Partners. There are so many great takeaways from our events, but sharing a few of our favorites here: ⚡ The construction sector is ripe for digital innovation and it's one of the top focuses for management and innovation leaders. This presents opportunities to streamline processes, boost safety measures and compliance, foster collaboration, optimize resource management, and promote sustainable practices. ⚡ Some seriously spot-on advice from the experts: embrace challenges – often, they're the gateway to creative solutions. That's what fuels the adoption of the most cutting-edge digital projects in the construction sector. ⚡ The well-being of employees is closely tied to innovation. Having the right set of digital tools boosts creativity and fulfillment at work. It streamlines daily tasks, freeing up valuable time to focus on core activities and ultimately contributing to higher levels of job satisfaction. ⚡ While technology undoubtedly enhances efficiency and productivity, its true value is unlocked when it's complemented by effective communication and alignment among individuals. And... ⚡ Top-notch feedback from the audience: one of our best yet! “Before Zen, we didn't realize our blind spots. Now, it's given us clarity on what we know and a better understanding of what we need to explore further.” Big thanks to our partners - Dethier, Artes Group and WYCKAERT Bouwonderneming - once again for the opportunity to team up and make these events happen! A big thank you to our incredible lineup of experts - Inge Vermeyen, Bert Geukens (Group Jansen), Vicky Dethier, Johan Van Overwalle, Luc De Greef, Johan Franceus, Wouter Baele, Kristof Broeckaert (Denys), Steven Everaert, Helena Van Deynze & Hendrik Van Putten - and our awesome audience! It's been an incredibly rewarding experience. #ConneqtrZen #ConneqtrPartners #InnovateWithConneqtr #ConneqtrConstructionTech

Some thoughts from my panel intervention "Happy coexistence with nature, citizens, and fisheries?"at the Annual Event  #WindEurope2024 in Bilbao. As someone deeply involved in pushing for a fast, fair, and nature-friendly #renewableenergy acceleration through my work with Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe, the discussion was close to my heart. It’s clear that if we want to see the massive volumes of wind energy 🌬 getting off the ground, we need to bring 💚 local communities into the heart of the conversation. Key takeaways: 🤝 Engaging with Communities: It's about real conversations and genuine dialogue, understanding local needs and concerns, and acting on them. Developers must move beyond viewing communities as obstacles or mere stakeholders to be informed, towards seeing them as active partners in planning, developing, and sharing the benefits of wind energy projects. 💬 Being Fair, Open, and Inclusive: It is about early, transparent, and honest communication. Communities must have a say in projects that affect their lives and must be provided with opportunities to participate meaningfully in decision-making processes, including the location, planning, and development of these projects. 💪 The Power of Community Ownership: When communities can own and co-invest, they see the tangible benefits of wind projects and cherish the projects with pride. These projects do more than just generate power, they EMPOWER communities by ensuring economic benefits are retained locally and foster broad support for the energy transition. Reflecting on the discussions we had, I'm reminded that at the core of our climate action efforts, it is the peoples participation and their empowerment what truly drive meaningful change. As we continue transforming our societies and economies towards a climate neutral Europe, fully powered by #renewableenergy, let's ensure that every step we take also builds stronger, more resilient communities along the way. #TogetherFor100RE Mattia Cecchinato Ariel Brunner Guy Willems WindEurope https://lnkd.in/eRqQAH-y
