Cooperation among the region's businesses is vital to tackle the transition to clean energy, an industry leader has urged.
This week's Larger Business Summit, hosted by the North East England Chamber of Commerce in Gateshead, featured talks on business energy use as well as the future of energy in the North East. And Guido Frenken, chief growth and innovation officer at Stockton-based energy transition specialist px Energy Solutions said collaboration was needed to make progress.
He said: "I was delighted to have the opportunity to speak about our experience of decarbonisation and energy transition at NEECC’s Larger Business Summit, at a time when energy is such a key focus for every organisation. These focused events organised by the Chamber are an important way to bring regional businesses from multiple sectors together where they can gain new knowledge and share experiences and initiate new cooperations to make progress in the energy transition."
