The programme aims to explore and develop low-carbon alternatives to red diesel for construction. \nThis roundtable will provide an opportunity to find out more about the Phase 1 projects and share your views on how you could see Hydrogen being implemented in the construction sector. We will be seeking your views on how you could see benefits for your projects\, what conditions would need to be in place to convince you to use the low carbon alternatives and any limitations there might be. \n\nWhy Hydrogen?\n“Greener\, because the requirements of the net zero commitment will be considered in every stage of the project life cycle and underpin decisions on the technical solutions chosen to achieve the required outcomes”. National Infrastructure Strategy \n\nHydrogen is central to reaching net zero emissions because it can abate 80 gigatons of CO2 by 2050\nHydrogen’s full potential can only be realized if action is taken across three fronts to: stimulate demand\, enable access through infrastructure\, and create scale to bring down costs and close the economic gap of hydrogen decarbonization solutions versus conventional alternatives.\nThe world needs rapid emissions reductions and clean hydrogen has a crucial role to play\, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors.\nHydrogen can play a fundamental role in enabling countries and industries to meet their net-zero emission targets by 2050. While not in itself the solution to abate all emissions across sectors\, hydrogen uniquely complements and enables other decarbonization pathways such as direct electrification\, energy efficiency measures\, and biomass-based fuels.\n\nSource: Hydrogen for net zero report URL:https://constructingexcellence.org.uk/event/hydrogen-in-construction-constructing-excellence-roundtable/ LOCATION:Skanska Head Office\, 1 Hercules Way\, Watford\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Net Zero ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://constructingexcellence.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Constructing-Excellence_header_logo-e1666021687542.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221130T143000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221130T163000 DTSTAMP:20260404T201621 CREATED:20221028T092141Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221123T174733Z UID:18044-1669818600-1669825800@constructingexcellence.org.uk SUMMARY:AWP Europe CoP Drop in – Online DESCRIPTION:ECI is collaborating with Group ASI to deliver an insight into Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) from a European Perspective.

But engineering construction still has to deliver conventional energy-related projects. What can be learnt from the past\, and what can we do differently so that energy transition and conventional energy-related projects are delivered consistently successfully for all stakeholders. This means revolutionising the way in which engineering construction delivers projects. Throughout 2023 we will be hosting online events that examine the body of knowledge and practices to achieve successful outcomes and how these can be refined\, developed and applied in the context of an unprecedented need to assure effective project delivery. \nWe aim to collaboratively explore through participants own experiences\, case studies and the latest thinking\, how technologies can enhance project delivery and how to ensure success in each stage of the project. \nWe will be building on established principles and theory and looking at the eight ACTIVE Principles (Achieving Competitiveness Through Innovation & Value Enhancement). While these principles remain relevant\, one of the purposes of this series of work will be to modernise them and bring them up to date for use in today’s world. The principles are as follows: \n\nEffective Project Concept & Definition\nEffective Project Team Management\nEffective Supply Chain Relationships\nEffective Information Management and Communication\nEffective Project Risk Management\nEffective Innovation & Continuous Improvement\nEffective Project Execution\nEffective Performance Measurement\n\n  \nWe will be kicking off on the 14th March with a session on Effective Project Concept and Definition and will be discussing some of the challenges within this area\, before exploring possible solutions.\n  URL:https://constructingexcellence.org.uk/event/energy-transition-revolution-powering-the-new-age-of-project-delivery/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:ECI,Energy Transition,Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://constructingexcellence.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/eci-square-logo-e1676471169562.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230316T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230316T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T201621 CREATED:20230223T095653Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230223T095837Z UID:19483-1678957200-1678986000@constructingexcellence.org.uk SUMMARY:Construction Summit 2023 DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that Tata Steel and Constructing Excellence’s Construction Summit 2023 will be held at BRE on Thursday 16th March 2023. \nThis annual one-day event for around 200 delegates will discuss the core challenges facing construction and the industry’s response to them. \nThe event will be strongly focussed on future visions for the sector\, with the aim of a thought-provoking and engaging day which challenges the status quo. \nThe day will be structured around four one-hour long sessions across the three core themes of Productivity\, Future Paths and Sustainability.  Each session will have a chair and three presenters who will then form a panel session for a closing Q&A. \nA number of speakers from industry leaders across the construction supply chain have already been confirmed. \nVisit the Tata Steel website to find out more and view but a few of the fantastic individuals in the line-up. \n  \n****Please be aware that this is an invitation only event.
