For further details , see below…

 

 

Day 1 : 22nd March

The first day will be hosted at the Maersk Headquarters, where we’ll dive into the hot topics of Power-to-X and book and claim. before heading over to Copenhagen’s famous Admiral Hotel for networking drinks.

  • 8:00 – 9:00 (CET) – Registrations with tea, coffee and snacks 

  • 9:00 – 12:30 (CET) Session 1 – Deep Dive: Power-to-X

  • 13:30 – 17:00 (CET) Session 2 – Deep Dive: Book and claim

    • Sustainable goods are being increasingly demanded but cannot always access them via existing supply chain networks. Book and claim is chain-of-custody solution, and RSB is currently piloting an approach to this. In this session, we’ll bring participants up to speed with the RSB Book & Claim Programme and delve into the key topic of additionality. Participants will hear from a diverse set of stakeholders on how we can ensure that market mechanisms like book and claim deliver climate impact, and learn about how RSB has translated this approach into a standard soon to be launched across the aviation and marine sectors. The session will also include a preview of the RSB Book & Claim Registry and launch the newly established RSB Member Book & Claim Platform.
    • Confirmed speakers include: Adam Klauber (World Energy), Noelle Fröhlich (Deutsche Post DHL Group), Miguel Ruiz (SCS Global Services), Fabio Luttazi (Etihad Airways), Julia Fidler (Microsoft Corporation), Marieke Verhoeven (Shell) – more to be added soon.
  • 17:30 – 19:30 (CET) – Networking drinks and snacks.

Day 2 : 23rd March

The second day will be hosted at the historic Vilhelm Lauritzen Terminal at Copenhagen Airport, where we’ll have parallel sessions on the RSB’s newest membership initiatives, the Sustainable Marine Fuel Platform and the Sustainable Airports Platform, before heading over to Topsoe for a R&D tour of their facilities.

  • 8:00 – 9:00 (CET) – Registrations with tea, coffee and snacks 

  • 9:00 – 13:00 (CET) Session 1a – The Sustainable Marine Fuel Platform

    • This session will officially launch the RSB Sustainable Marine Fuels Platform, focused on the key sustainability topics affecting the transition to sustainable marine fuel (SMF), driving engagement with regulators and advocating for a robust and consistent sustainability approach. The meeting will be exclusively available to RSB members who have signed up as participants of the platform. The goals will be: to create a common understanding of potential impact areas for RSB and the platform; to understand the most important policy and regulatory topics impacting the development of SMF, with a focus on carbon and sustainability aspects; and to develop workstreams and outputs for the platform activities in 2023/24.

The meeting will be exclusively available to RSB members and participants of the platform. The goals will be: to encourage a collaborative network and a cross-sectoral platform that creates a common understanding of the challenges and next steps for the aviation sector; to consolidate RSB’s role as an organisation that supports airports in their pathway to sustainability; to discuss the main topics around aviation sector relating to airports’ role in the SAF value chain, including non-CO₂ effects; and to gather inputs for workstreams and outputs of platform activities in 2023/24.
