“Joining the Decarb Connect network has proved to be of great value to Toshiba.
The high-quality content shared at events, along with the multiple formats that encourage networking, have greatly assisted our understanding of the broader ecosystem and stakeholders’ needs and challenges. This has enabled us to fine tune our portfolio of solutions for decarbonization and is already influencing Toshiba’s route to market strategy for the EU and the UK.”

“Collaboration will be essential to the energy transition, and the Decarbonisation Leaders Network has emerged to meet the specific needs of the “hard to abate” industrial sectors, allowing us to identify common problems and set up collaborations to tackle them together. We meet regularly and are building a strong community, with a mixture of emitters, mainly from the materials sectors, but also solution providers and financiers – creating ideal conditions for good things to happen!”

“Being part of the DLN is important for Viridien on two counts. Firstly, as an energy technology company, we are focused on helping industrial emitters to understand where they can safely store CO2 underground near their facilities. And the DLN brings us closer to those emitter companies and initiates valuable discussions across the value chain. Secondly, the DLN gives us a platform to work with new or existing partners who have synergies with the work we do. We believe in partnerships, if they truly bring a net positive impact, and the DLN is a great forum for forming or strengthening those partnerships.”
