Irish supplies via Moffat Interconnector would be ‘curtailed equally’ with UK shortages

I really enjoyed being a board director at Vedanta Resources Plc and truly missed having to give up that particular "hat" for a role in banking. Which is why I couldn't be more excited to put that hat very much back on and join Harland & Wolff as a Non Executive Director starting from the 1st of September!

This is an incredible business, as rich in history as it is full of opportunities to grow, deliver extraordinary results and with its deep expertise and strong execution engine across transportation, energy, renewables and defence, also help Europe and the rest of the world accelerate on the journey to #energysecurity and #energytransition.

"Its Belfast yard is one of Europe’s largest heavy engineering facilities, with deep water access, two of Europe’s largest drydocks, ample quayside and vast fabrication halls. As a result of the acquisition of Harland & Wolff (Appledore) in August 2020, the company has been able to capitalise on opportunities at both ends of the ship-repair and shipbuilding markets where there will be significant demand."

Exciting times ahead!

An expert view of the position / opportunity

To be clear, this is not about Katya Zotiva, but gives a flavour of Antler Venture Capital work

Before we make an initial investment decision, we typically spend over 200 hours with founders – significantly longer than the industry average, according to research by Crowdwise. We believe a longer due diligence process can significantly decrease inherent biases that unconsciously affect investment decisions.

To further support strong ESG and impact understanding in our founders, we have developed an education platform called the Antler Sustainability Toolkit. This provides tools and practical guides to help companies incorporate different ESG and impact considerations as they mature.

When looking to make follow-on investments, we use an ESG questionnaire and scorecard that consider the risk and opportunity presented by these considerations. This includes how a founder/portfolio company approaches workplace culture, employment practices, supply chain selection, environmental effect, responsible product design, and data privacy.

By ensuring the economic viability of the new pipe-line, the Designation Order will facilitate the conversion of EP Kilroot from coal to natural gas and allow for more lower carbon power generation in Northern Ireland. Natural gas emits some 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas fired power plant compared with emissions from a typical
coal fired plant. Compared to its existing coal-fired plant, the Proposed Development and Overall Project for Kilroot’s conversion to natural gas shows a reduction of 400 tonnes of CO2e per GWh of electricity

Sorry if people have seen this video before, I had missed it.

Interesting to see Ben Wallace support Liz Truss, the PM candidate he believes will best support the MOD and put defence spend at 3% of GDP.
