The 28th United Nations climate change conference (COP28) was held in Dubai between 30 November – 12 December, 2023. Taking place annually, UN climate change conferences are the world’s only multilateral decision-making forum on climate change — and almost every country has representation in attendance.
GeoPura — a Series A-founded, green hydrogen energy innovator — exhibited in COP28’s Green Zone start-up village, with a booth design created in collaboration with brand design partner, The Unknown Creative.
GeoPura’s solution uses renewable energy from solar PV or wind to create hydrogen and hydrogen-based zero-emission fuels. Companies like Netflix and the BBC, and events including the BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour, have adopted GeoPura’s award-winning off-grid energy generation units in a bid to decarbonise energy production and move towards a clean energy future.
The Unknown Creative has partnered with GeoPura since early 2023 to deliver its distinctive brand story and unique product proposition. 2023 was a year of growth for GeoPura. The company more than doubled its headcount and closed a £56 million investment round later announced in early 2024.
Clean energy was high on the agenda at COP28 and a historic agreement was made signalling “the beginning of the end” for the fossil fuel era. Countries agreed on the need to “transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems in an orderly, and equitable manner”.
COP29 will take place 11 November – 22 November, 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
