Given the increasing focus on hydrogen as a clean energy solution, we're curious to hear from investors about what you view as the key consideration when investing in hydrogen. Is it... 👩💻 Technology Readiness: Are hydrogen technologies advanced enough for large-scale investment? 🏗 Infrastructure Development: Will there be adequate infrastructure for production, storage, and distribution? 📜 Regulatory and Policy Environment: How stable and supportive are the current regulations and policies for hydrogen? 📈 Market Demand and Adoption: Is there sufficient market demand to ensure a strong return on investment? We'll reveal the results in the third episode of Frontier: Listen! 🎙️ This time, we’re busting hydrogen myths, exploring its potential as a clean energy source, and examining the current hydrogen economy. We’ll also discuss its role in fighting climate change, the challenges of infrastructure, and the global outlook on hydrogen initiatives. We will be joined by a special guest who will be announced later this week 👀 Got a question for our hosts, Dan Wells and Chris Holmes? Drop it in the comments below! 👇 Missed our earlier episodes?

An insightful day hosting eighteen students from The Amos Bursary for a Foresight career's day! Led by People and Sustainable Culture Associate, Stevie Stowell and Business Development Associate, Mohamed Munye Abrar, different departments came together, running a series of interactive sessions and bringing a variety of careers pathways to life. The day also provided the opportunity for Foresight professionals to hear from the next generation on their career aspirations. In 2023, Foresight Group implemented it's first formal internship program with The Amos Bursary and today, we are proud that the organisation remains one of our DE&I partners under our Thrive strategy. The charity supports talented state school students of African and Caribbean heritage, with academic and professional opportunities. Thank you to all our volunteers! Jasmine Savage, Louis Bromfield, Lucy Haywood CGMA, ACMA, Pooja Gupta, Jeroen Sibia, Alexandra McMullen, Jennifer Johnson, Matheus Fierro, Oliver Smith, Matt Sedgwick, Malick Abdullah, Ellie Winter, Emma Revel-Chion, Mark Sculthorpe, Holly Hesketh, Emma Brown ACG, Omasan George and Jasmine Salar.

Great to see the continued impact of Foresight Solar Fund (FSFL)'s educational initiatives! These hands-on experiences aim to inspire the next generation to understand and engage with renewable energy. Foresight Solar is one of the UK’s biggest renewables investors, helping to build to a lower carbon future by investing in and growing renewable energy infrastructure around the world. Keep up to date with its latest news: https://lnkd.in/exa46Dn3 #renewableenergy
As students go back to school in the UK this week, we kick off another year of initiatives to help them learn about physics and biology with workshops and visits to solar farms. It’s a great opportunity for them to see and learn how the plants work and how they can contribute to a lower-carbon future, as well as to local communities. During the 2023/2024 school year, our partnership with Earth Energy Education resulted in more than 1,000 children from 16 different schools attending 12 site visits and participating in 21 in-school workshops. We can’t wait for school to be back! #SolarEnergy #InvestmentTrusts #SiteVisits

🌞 Ground-mounted utility-scale PV and rooftop solar are complementary technologies that play a vital role in the UK's journey toward net zero. At Foresight Group, we are proud to invest in both, helping to power a cleaner, greener future. Read Foresight Solar Fund (FSFL)'s newsletter to find out how our investments are contributing to the UK's energy goals. #NetZero #SolarEnergy #SustainableInvesting
The new government has a goal of trebling solar energy capacity by 2030. More friendly planning and more aggressive CfD auctions will help the roll-out. The administration will, however, face opposition from politicians who claim rooftop installations are a better solution than utility-scale plants. The reality is more nuanced; it’s not an either/or proposition. In this newsletter, we outline the benefits of rooftop arrays and ground-mounted solar farms, explaining how the “retail” alternative and the “wholesale” option are complementary and will, together, play a key role in the transition to a lower carbon economy.

Hear from Richard Thompson, Partner and Co-Manager of our Energy Transition Fund, FEIP II, as he discusses our Glenmuckloch Pumped Storage Hydro Project in Scotland with ENOWA. The project, which sees the redevelopment of a disused opencast coal mine, aims to help balance the grid and secure a stable, clean energy supply for the region. #energytransition #pumpedstoragehydro #psh #hydro
Renewable energy is key to a sustainable future, but ensuring a consistent and flexible energy supply requires innovative solutions. At #ENOWA, we are pioneering smart energy storage technologies like pumped hydro storage (PHS) that balance supply and demand, making renewable energy reliable and constant. Watch the video to discover how PHS is revolutionizing energy storage and driving the transition to a brighter, sustainable future. Extreme E Foresight Group #ACircleOfPossibilities

Great to see another milestone reached by Bellevue Gold! The project, located at one of Australia's highest-grade gold mines, is powered by Zenith Energy, a key asset within Foresight's Diversified Infrastructure Trust (DIT). "We’re encouraged by Zenith’s continued progress in decarbonisation, integrating hybrid power solutions that combine renewables like solar, wind, and battery storage with multi-fuel thermal generation in off-grid remote areas. Through funds like DIT, we remain committed to supporting and expanding Australia’s renewable energy capacity." - Andrew Pickering, CIO, Foresight Australia See how Foresight is helping drive the ongoing global energy transition: https://lnkd.in/dwNiyWSd #RenewableEnergy #Decarbonisation #EnergyTransition
Bellevue Gold Power System Milestone Update Zenith Energy’s hybrid power system for Bellevue Gold is on track to become Australia’s highest renewable energy fraction off-grid power solution with the latest milestone being completion of the concrete pour for the first wind turbine. #NetZero #Decarbonisation #RenewableEnergy #Wind #Innovation #EnergyTransition
