Sources, receptors and pathways Environmental consequences workshop - identifying the environmental consequences of our working practices Environmental risk assessment Effective control mechanisms 3 Protecting the environment - Environmental Management Systems What is an Environmental Management System (EMS)? What are the benefits of having an EMS? EMS structure and models Identifying what elements of EMS your company has and how they work Roles and responsibilities 4 Choice of module Option 1: Organisation-specific moduleThis module can be used to introduce environmental concepts that are specific to your activities and operations, and will be compiled through discussion with your organisation Option 2: Environmental best practiceIf no organisation-specific module is required, or if participants from a number of organisations attend, generic operational environmental best practices can be covered instead. Areas covered include waste management, fuel storage and use, hazardous materials, emissions to air and water and environmental incidents

Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd, and this year we're turning it into Earth Month! Join us throughout April for activities that support environmental protection. Let's all get involved and make a difference! We are holding a Biogen Recycle Day in the Dublin office (Citywest) on the 22nd April. Whether you're at the office or working from home, it’s easy to accumulate old or broken office equipment. That’s why we’ve dedicated April 22nd as our Recycle Day. What You Can Recycle: Paper (shredding available onsite) Ink Cartridges Small Batteries IT Accessories (e.g. mouse, keyboard, etc.) Date: April 22, 2025 Location: Dublin Office Time: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. We’ll have different bins set up for each category, so it’s easy to drop off your items. And don’t worry if you can't make it on April 22nd – you can still bring your recyclables to the office throughout the month of April! We look forward to seeing you there as we all take a small step towards a greener future!

Explore the latest trends in carbon capture, utilization, and storage with EnerygyEdge's interactive virtual instructor-led training course.
About this training Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an upcoming new technology that has a vital place within global efforts to decarbonise. It has a unique set of challenges, opportunities and risks to be understood and accommodated within appropriate legal, regulatory, and social and public license frameworks. The course has a strong international and global south emphasis with case studies on CCS projects and will touch on the role of CCS in developing country energy transition. The course satisfies a part of the market that is not currently catered for - the wider science, risks, financing, regulation, planning and social license aspects of CCS. These are issues that are as important as the technical issues in the sense that any of them can be a show-stopper for CCS. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Place CCS within the context of the global geological carbon cycle and the contribution to could make to carbon abatement Explore the basic engineering and other challenges and solutions of CO2 transport and capture Recognize the geological challenges and solutions of CO2 storage Learn the methods of geological and environmental monitoring of CCS sites and why monitoring is important Understand the policy and finance challenges and solutions of CCS projects Know the importance of social license to operate and how to gain a social license to operate Target Audience This course will cater for in-company legal specialists, finance, project managers, marketing and communications specialists; as well as geologists, planners and environmental scientists in regulatory or government roles in regions considering the development of CCS. The course will provide up to date and relevant information to help in understanding opportunities and in managing risk.
