Presented by Michael Flood, Head of Public Solutions, EQUANS Carbon Shift
Operational PFI (Private Finance Initiative) projects, from hospitals and schools to defence and transport facilities, face a unique decarbonisation challenge. Long-term contracts, complex risk allocations and ageing plant can lock in carbon-intensive operations unless targeted action is taken. This webinar demystifies the contractual, technical and commercial levers available to PFI stakeholders and sets out a roadmap for achieving genuine, auditable emissions reductions while protecting service performance and value for money.
