Understanding Carbon as a Commercial Driver
Carbon pricing has become a defining feature of industrial competitiveness. No longer a background policy lever, it now directly shapes investment decisions, supply chain resilience, and cross-border trade. For carbon-intensive sectors, understanding carbon is no longer optional—it is a strategic imperative. This io Explainer cuts through complexity to demystify the EU and UK Emissions TradingContinue reading “Understanding Carbon as a Commercial Driver”
CCS Value Chain Benchmarking
This report assesses the costs and configurations of the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) value chain based on a comparison of over thirty global CCS projects, spanning feasibility through to construction and operation. The purpose of the report is to provide relevant CO2 capture, onshore pipeline transport, liquefaction, marine transport and permanent storage project dataContinue reading “CCS Value Chain Benchmarking”
Decarbonising Hard to Abate Sectors: Marine Fuels
Introduction: The Problem Annual emissions from the shipping industry are estimated at 940 million tonnes of CO2[1]. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates this was approximately 2% of global energy related CO2 emissions in 2022[2] and the IEA Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) scenario requires approximately 15% reduction in shipping emissions from 2022-2030. TheContinue reading “Decarbonising Hard to Abate Sectors: Marine Fuels”

Sustainable Aviation: Production of e-SAF
In recent years (note 1), the aviation sector has typically accounted for around 3% of global, energy related emissions of carbon dioxide [1,2]. While there has been a drop in total emissions from the sector due to the travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an expectation that demand will very soon returnContinue reading “Sustainable Aviation: Production of e-SAF”
Implementing CCUS in the Cement Industry: Challenges and Solutions
Introduction The global cement industry is said to be responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, but what often gets lost in this statistic is the work the industry had done over a significant period of time. CEMBUREAU states that since 1990 there has been a 15% reduction in relative CO2 emissions from the EuropeanContinue reading “Implementing CCUS in the Cement Industry: Challenges and Solutions”
emerge – dynamic techno-commercial modelling tool launched
emerge – dynamic techno commercial modelling Climate change requires that society rapidly transitions from a hydrocarbon-based energy system to one that is decarbonised. This challenge is compounded by the need to do so in a manner that provides an affordable and secure supply of energy. Collectively these three elements are known as the energy trilemma, andContinue reading “emerge – dynamic techno-commercial modelling tool launched”
Bridging Process Engineering and Commercial Strategy for a Just Energy Transition: A Junior Consultant’s View
It feels like a lifetime ago that I first joined the io consulting team as a development consultant as part of a Year in Industry MEng. From the very first interview, I was immediately impressed by the company’s strong sense of community and collaborative working style. As my placement comes to an end, I wantContinue reading “Bridging Process Engineering and Commercial Strategy for a Just Energy Transition: A Junior Consultant’s View”

Carbon Neutral Fuels, io & Mission Zero Technologies announce £1.4m DfT Advanced Fuels Fund award
Carbon Neutral Fuels Ltd (“CNF”), a developer of green alternative fuels, announced on 17th November 2023 that their consortium comprising io consulting (energy) UK LLP (“io”) acting as engineering partner, and Mission Zero Technologies Ltd acting as Direct Air Capture partner, has been awarded £1.38m from Window 2 of the UK Department for Transport (DfT)Continue reading “Carbon Neutral Fuels, io & Mission Zero Technologies announce £1.4m DfT Advanced Fuels Fund award”
Carbon Capture Insights: Technology
As we collectively address climate change and undertake an energy transition, the need to provide clean, affordable and reliable energy for all requires a blend of solutions, which includes hydrocarbons together with Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). This requirement is why the International; Energy Agency (IEA), International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and Intergovernmental PanelContinue reading “Carbon Capture Insights: Technology”
Beyond fossil fuels: How efuels are changing the energy game
As hard-to-abate sectors attempt to reduce CO2 emissions, the interest in efuels continues to rise. efuels, short for electrofuels, are a class of synthetically produced hydrocarbons which achieve lifecycle carbon savings compared to traditional reservoir-sourced hydrocarbon-based fuels. They approach carbon neutral following the consumption of CO2 in their production, which is then re-released into theContinue reading “Beyond fossil fuels: How efuels are changing the energy game”
