Ensign is honoured that Professor Mercedes Maroto-Valer, Co-Investigator on the Ensign Project, is part of the United Nations Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition attending COP30.

COP30 – the COP of implementation! As Secretary General António Guterres emphasized, this is about implementation, implementation, implementation.
Over the past few days, Mercedes has been engaging with partners across industry, government, and academia to accelerate the shift from climate commitments to real-world action, including:

  • Driving green industrial hubs and corridors – engines that transform climate ambition into jobs, exports, and resilient communities.
  • Leveraging standards, interoperability, and international collaboration to scale green technologies.
  • Exploring bright spots, breakthroughs, and partnerships that are reshaping hard-to-abate industries.

Today at COP30, the focus is on systems transformation across Energy, Industry, Transport, Trade, Finance, Carbon Markets, and Non-CO₂ gases, supporting the global push to:

  • Triple renewable energy
  • Double energy efficiency
  • Transition away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly, and equitable manner

Key highlights include:

  • Advancing Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Article 6 Partnerships – Inclusive, equitable, and scalable climate solutions
  • Challenges of the Energy Transition
  • Official Launch: Green Hydrogen Task Force Fact Sheet — Unlocking green hydrogen for 24/7 carbon-free energy
  • Accelerating the Scale-Up of Green Hydrogen in Developing Markets
