It is a platform that champions engineers who are at the frontline of implementing change in industries that will need to decarbonise as well as those who can create products and services that will catalyse this decarbonisation. It builds platforms that enable stakeholders involved in implementing and shaping energy solutions to collaborate and achieve real world outcomes. The alliance seeks to foster innovation, share best practices, and align efforts to address barriers hindering decarbonisation.
