plan your journey in good time to get there.

Happy to attend the annual conference of the International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME 2024 Conference - Valencia) in Valencia. This event offers a valuable opportunity for academic and industrial interactions with colleagues from around the world. At the conference, I will present our recent study, "Optimising Life Cycle Costs of Carbon Capture and Storage: Insights for Shipping CO2 from the Solent Region." This research focuses on the design of appropriate liquefied CO2 (#LCO2) shipping for the region, assessing the Life Cycle Cost (#LCC) for #CO2shipping, and proposes #carbonpricing strategies for different LCO2 shipping options to enhance the competitiveness of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (#CCUS) compared to other emission mitigation measures. Looking forward to interacting with colleagues and having further discussions about this topic. #Zeroemission #IMO #ship #port #shipyard #sustainability #energyefficiency #renewableenergy #CCUS #alternativefuels #LCO2shipping #LCC University of Southampton Southampton Marine & Maritime Institute Stephen Turnock Damon Teagle Lindsay-Marie Armstrong Wassim Dbouk Panos Manias

Last week's Unique Summit in Ostrava was ... tragic? Let me explain. Great event. The orgs at MSIC - Moravskoslezské inovační centrum and CzechInvest & co did an incredible job. Following the @globalstartupcities initiative, they brought people from all over the world to Ostrava (!) - mostly the public sector, some 20 startups (promising ones and not just CZ). Amazing venue. Flawless execution. Inspiring agenda. BUT... where tf was private capital? :D Among those couple hundred people, there were just a few VCs and angels. Next year the Summit is already in Cape Town and I think we just blew a great opportunity to boost the regional innovation ecosystem by showing off our investment capacities somewhere else than in Prague (coz let's be honest, startups meeting the public sector is, surely, great, but there's some money missing in this equation). All this comes down to the lack of visibility of regional innovation hubs - often we are not aware of how powerful they could be (maybe, they are not aware themselves?). Could we do better marketing/PR with such events? Could we focus on the bigger picture once we have this kind of opportunity? I'll quote one of the speakers. "There is no problem of Ostrava being the third city in the country - we all know that, we don't care. What we care for is Ostrava becoming an innovation hub attractive for startups just as much as Prague" (if you doubt that's possible, just ask Radek Novotný from Superface:) Thank you MSIC - Moravskoslezské inovační centrum for bringing this event to life. I hope we will hear more about the ecosystem in Ostrava and other regional hubs here in the Czech Republic. Make sure to ping us VCs too - we are happy to cooperate😉

Today I have the privilege of attending an amfori event, and I can't stress enough how important it is for businesses to engage in stakeholder dialogue during such events. Here's why: Stakeholder dialogue is a cornerstone of responsible business practices. It allows us to engage with a diverse range of voices, from employees and customers to NGOs and local communities, to ensure that our operations are not only ethically sound but also sustainable and responsible. By participating in amfori BSCI events, I've had the opportunity to exchange ideas, best practices, and insights with other sustainability advisors. These events provide a platform for us to learn, collaborate, and share knowledge on responsible sourcing and supply chain management. It's a reminder that we are all part of a global community with shared goals and can learn from one another. We live in an interconnected world, and the choices we make as businesses have far-reaching consequences. By embracing stakeholder dialogue, we can create a positive impact on our communities that may be affected by our operations and our planet. It is an opportunity to grow, innovate, and lead by example. I encourage all of you to engage in these vital conversations and participate in amfori BSCI events. Let's work together to build a more sustainable, ethical, and responsible future for business and society. 🤝💼 #StakeholderDialogue #ResponsibleBusiness #amforiBSCI #Sustainability #EthicalBusiness #CSRD A/S Vinmonopolet Feel free to like, share, and join the conversation. Together, we can make a difference! 🌍🌱 Is this conversation helpful so far? Regenerate
