Emma started her career in the real-estate industry and, over time, became the manager of a major house-building and development company. Alongside this, she is part of a community land trust which implements low-carbon solutions at the domestic and settlement scale. Presently, at Octopus, she is at the forefront of developing customer propositions aimed to decarbonise homes and buildings.

Main topics include the following:

• Barriers at the individual household scale that curb the progress towards the decarbonisation of homes and buildings

• The various technologies that have the potential to replace traditional oil and gas boilers

• The role of policy both in GB and other European countries in enabling the decarbonisation of homes and buildings
