The London SPE Net Zero Gaia committee is pleased to be restarting the Net Zero webinar series, with the first in the series providing a fascinating examination of the progress that oil and gas companies are making towards Net Zero.
Dr Amanda Turner is a principal consultant at sustain:able, where she supports customers across the O&G industry and beyond in their Net Zero and wider ESG goals. She will discuss challenges in the progression to Net Zero for O&G companies including:
• How climate litigation is on the rise, and how companies are responding to show their goals and ambitions can be supported by actions
• The increasing reporting requirements on companies with drivers from governments, lenders and stakeholders
• Emissions reductions versus maximising economic recovery – observations from the North Sea, OGA Plan, early CoP challenge, cost justification for emission reduction activities/new technologies
• Increase in ‘missed’ Net Zero targets – how companies are changing their ambitions and the implications of those changes
• Which emissions-reduction technologies are considered and implemented across the O&G industry
• How companies can get started
Please join us for this virtual event:
Date: Tuesday 16 April
Time: 12.30 – 13.30 UK (BST)
Via: Zoom
