On 13 March 2025, industry leaders and policymakers convened at Edinburgh’s John McIntyre Conference Centre for Scotland’s premier industrial decarbonisation event.

The 2025 conference featured prominent speakers such as:

• Dr Bryony Livesay, former Director of UKRI’s Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge, who chaired the event.

• Dr Alasdair Allan MSP, Acting Minister for Climate Change, who delivered an address and presented the NECCUS Young Professionals Award.
