iconsys, a leading system integrator with expertise in control, automation and power conversion solutions, is ramping up its operations to meet the growing demand for energy transition solutions. With the UK Government committing nearly £22bn to carbon capture and storage projects and an urgent drive to achieve Net Zero by 2050, the company is positioning itself at the forefront of this transformative market.
Recognising the increasing complexity and scale of decarbonisation projects, iconsys has bolstered its expertise by appointing Professor Joe Howe as their Energy Transition Specialist. This move reflects a broader strategy to address the shifting needs of industrial and manufacturing sectors, providing the critical technology and integration services required to support businesses on their energy transition journeys.

Our commitment is to meet these needs with cutting-edge technologies and expert guidance.”

By integrating automation and power systems with intelligent data solutions, the company enables clients to improve productivity, enhance safety, and reduce environmental impact.
Joe Howe’s extensive experience in the sector strengthens this offering. As one of the UK’s foremost authorities on industrial decarbonisation, he brings decades of expertise in hydrogen innovation, carbon reduction strategies, and skills development. His role will involve driving new opportunities, engaging with industry stakeholders, and shaping strategies that help clients capitalise on government funding mechanisms and achieve Net Zero compliance.
“Decarbonisation is no longer optional. It’s an essential part of doing business,” said Joe. “iconsys is uniquely positioned to guide businesses through this transition, offering end-to-end solutions that address everything from concept development to secure, data-driven operational support.”
The company’s technology platform independence ensures it can select the optimal solution for every client, delivering tailored projects that align with specific energy transition goals. With over 4,500 successful implementations to date, iconsys has established itself as a trusted partner in a rapidly evolving market.
Looking ahead, iconsys is committed to shaping the conversation around energy transition. Plans include keynote presentations, roundtables, and a dedicated video series designed to provide insights into the changing energy landscape and showcase the company’s pivotal role in supporting industrial decarbonisation.
“Energy transition is an enormous challenge for industry, but it’s also a tremendous opportunity for growth and innovation – and we’re ready to lead the way.” concluded Andrew.
