WTM: Reducing carbon emissions tour operators, ground handlers, transport providers
WTM: Reducing carbon emissions in the accommodation sector
Hotels and other types of accommodation are responsible for 2% of the 5% of the global CO2 emissions from the tourism sector (UNWTO). With expert panelists from major hospitality groups, we shall discuss best practices in reducing emissions in designing and building new hotels and retrofitting existing properties. Are zero-emissions hotels possible? Is the hospitality sector making progress fast enough to achieve the Paris targets?”
Fossil fuel is why aviation is travel & tourisms Achilles heel. Is hydrogen the answer?

SWEP District Energy Tour
15:00 BST
Sponsor: SWEP
Take a drone flight through SWEPs District Energy landscape and discover how energy saving applications play a key role in decarbonizing the planet. In this presentation, we will explain several of our energy saving applications relating to heat networks. Such networks are set to play a key role in the future provision of affordable, sustainable and low carbon heat.
Land, sea and air: Decarbonising transport
15:30 BST
Sponsored by Ørsted
Decarbonisation of the power sector is well under way; decarbonisation of transport is just beginning to get going. Whilst electrification will be the technology of choice to decarbonise light transport, hydrogen & fuels derived from hydrogen will be an essential technology to decarbonise heavy transport, shipping, & aviation. But what needs to happen to enable this transition both in terms of electrification & using hydrogen as a fuel? We look at steps to be taken now, lessons learned and opportunities for UK existing and new businesses.

Let’s Talk Hydrogen
09:00 BST
This is an opportunity to ‘eavesdrop’ on conversations between senior members of the hydrogen community and learn about their targets, hopes, and aspirations for hydrogen – and the challenges too; to ask them questions and to get a feel for what will happen in the short, medium and long term.
Net zero – impossible goal? Tales from the cities
15:30 BST
Sponsor: Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP
The UK has a statutory net zero target of 2050 & Scotland has gone one step further with a 2045 deadline. Many of our cities are undertaking even more ambitious targets with many seeking to achieve net zero by 2030. What does that mean in practice and is it achievable in less than a decade? We know that there isn’t a silver bullet & one solution does not fit all in the cities/place context. There is a common goal – innovation and collaboration will be key.
Decarbonising industry: Scotland’s Answer
13:30 BST
From oil and gas to energy integration
11:15 BST
For the oil and gas industry, energy integration can help reduce production emissions, as well as accelerate the progress of CCS and hydrogen in support of net zero. These are essential for the sector’s ‘social licence to operate’. For offshore renewables, there are real opportunities for increased collaboration with oil and gas skills and supply chain for further expansion. Our panel explores these issues discussing how each side of the energy ‘coin’ can work together, and the role of training.
The Road to COP26 and Net Zero
09:00 BST
Sponsor: Hitachi ABB Power Grids
With only a month to go from the time of the webinar before COP26 begin in Glasgow we look forward to hearing from invited politicians from both the UK and Scottish governments; our speakers will also include senior representatives from local government, academia and industry discussing what they want and expect from COP26; and the steps they believe are vital to achieving the holy grail of Net Zero.

Decarbonising Heat
13:45 BST
Sponsor: ScottishPower
Decarbonising heat, which entails reducing and eliminating the greenhouse gases emitted during its generation and use, is essential to tackling climate change. Our panel of experts will be looking at policy and solutions – heat pumps, heat networks/district heating, hydrogen for heat, and geothermal.
Offshore Wind: The stakes have never been higher
11:30 BST
Sponsor: Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP
In optimistic anticipation of COP26; in a global recognition of the real and present danger of our climate emergency; in the afterglow of surprisingly low offshore wind CfD auction prices; in the early years of a Sector Deal and the real life industrial renaissance being delivered by offshore wind. Where do we currently sit against minimum targets – and what is the art of the possible in the small, vital window we have left?
