Inside Energy

Inside this issue

In this issue, we pay tribute to Dai Somerville-Jones, former CEO of the EIC from 1991 to 2004, with an obituary written by current CEO, Stuart Broadley. We also feature the second edition of the prestigious Net Zero Jeopardy Insight Report, which reveals a decline in energy executives' confidence in achieving global net-zero targets by 2050, driven by political instability, financial uncertainty, and delays in project approvals. Additionally, we highlight innovations such as Superheat's digital solutions for advanced onsite heat treatment services and Siemens' Veloce hardware-assisted verification platform, along with regional updates from our offices and members worldwide. Be sure to explore the full issue for more insights and updates.
