ADE’s Pledge to Zero

We our proud to launch our Pledge to Zero!

Smart energy technology showcased at parliamentary reception

The Association for Decentralised Energy showcased how smart energy technology lies at the heart of a net zero system at a parliamentary reception today, ahead of global discussions on climate change at COP 26 later this year.

COVID has changed everything. But it hasn’t changed the imperative to cut emissions.

Together the ADE and ACE-Research have worked to create a decarbonisation pledge which sits alongside our sustainability strategy, to reflect the essential role that businesses like ours have in decarbonisation, in line with global net zero targets.

About Us

We are the leading trade association for decentralised energy, representing more than 130 interested parties from across the industrial, commercial and public sectors. The ADE is bringing energy together to advocate on the priorities for the UK in achieving net zero. We are driving the decarbonisation of heat, championing the role of industry in the green transition and pushing for UK homes, places of work and public services to be energy efficient and smart. Only by getting users engaged and investing in energy efficiency, low carbon heat and providing smart flexibility will be the UK truly be able to decarbonise its energy system. For this to happen, energy must work for the user. At the ADE, we believe that an energy system designed around the user’s needs, enabling the right technology choice in the right place, serves everyone better.
