Climate change and sustainability: Your journey to Net Zero Carbon

The transition to clean energy and a low emission economy will be the result of many complex change programmes. That’s where we come in.

Our new Labour government have confirmed their target for the UK to achieve a Net Zero energy system by 2030. This represents a hugely ambitious energy transition. Getting there, or even close, will be an “everything, everywhere, all at once” strategy. It will need rapid development of low carbon technologies and energy infrastructure; acceleration of corporate and public sector emissions reduction programmes; as well as changing habits of consumers and citizens.

The transition to clean, affordable and secure energy, and a low emissions economy generally, will be the result of many complex transformation programmes. That is where Project One comes in. The reason we exist is to help organisations to shape and deliver complex change. That is our mission, our sole focus, and our role in delivering Net Zero for the UK.

Energy infrastructure is a sector we understand at Project One. We’ve been supporting customers in this space for some time. The challenge is huge:

• massive investment in development and deployment of low carbon energy generation
• unprecedented upgrade to the UK’s electricity transmission and distribution networks
• introducing at scale new energy vectors such as hydrogen
• taking a whole system view of the UK’s energy networks to optimise investments and to encourage much needed participation from the investment community.

Many corporations and government organisations will need to accelerate delivery of their CC&S programmes, in a way that is affordable and supports the core business. We’re supporting the UK military to balance improved resilience and availability of war-fighting assets with steps to minimise environmental impact – circular economy principles are providing good opportunities, and we are experienced in driving coherence, pace and progress in corporate CC&S transformation programmes.

We are not climate change experts. We are experts in accelerating and delivering change, especially in the context of infrastructure deployment, corporate and government transformation programmes. You can read about some of our recent customer work below. We have a network of CC&S specialists with whom we partner with when needed, and through our Gaia network we are building a community of interest among female sustainability leaders.
