Throughput can be increased by changing the shift pattern or by reallocating products onto under-utilised equipment.
Learn more about Bryden Wood's Design to Value approach.In order to avoid catastrophic climate impacts, it’s essential that we tackle the toughest parts of the decarbonisation challenge, applying innovative solutions to those tough to decarbonise parts of the economy.We need to create cleaner, greener responses in order to overcome the environmental damage being caused by coal-fired power plants, industries like aviation and shipping, and liquid fuels such as oil and gas.
Due to the site and land use challenges posed by wind and solar power, attempting to meet our vast energy needs with renewable technologies alone would be prohibitively difficult.As a result, we’ll need help from complementary, advanced heat solutions to bend the curve on carbon emissions and meet our net zero goals.. One of the biggest decarbonisation challenges we face, and one of the biggest opportunities presented to us, comes in the form of repowering coal power plants.Incredibly, the coal-fired capacity being used in the world today is emitting around 15 billion tonnes of carbon emissions each year, representing almost half of all our carbon emissions.
Bryden Wood is working alongside non-profit TerraPraxis, as part of the Repowering Coal Initiative.We’re developing transformative design and construction solutions aimed at retrofitting the existing coal-fired power plants for suitability with new nuclear, advanced heat solutions, while still retaining the substantial societal and economic value of the existing power plant infrastructure.
The process will be both highly efficient and cost-effective, overcoming existing viability barriers and creating a realistic path to sustainable, reliable energy for areas of the world still reliant on coal-fired power.. Terra Praxis: new nuclear is key to helping achieve net zero.
Kirsty Gogan and Eric Ingersoll co-founded non-profit Terra Praxis to facilitate the design and execution of complex, high leverage strategies aimed at inspiring, and mobilising leaders across multiple sectors.http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesWebinar Highlights:.
- Delve into the intricacies of the 'Platform II' initiative, leveraging the principles of industrial scalability and mass production to advance construction efficiency.. - Decode the influential role of government procurement strategies in catalysing the adoption of platform-based construction models.. - Explore the flexible and forward-thinking design of the Platform II structural system, thoughtfully engineered to accommodate a variety of architectural forms and functional spaces.. - Understand the considerable benefits that come with the adoption of platform methods, including amplified productivity, reduced build times, and a stronger commitment to sustainable construction practices.Working on building sites in my teens I first realised how reductive the project working environment could be.Of course, I would not have used the word reductive maybe “this just doesn’t make any sense”.
For I could sense, even at a young age, that the people doing the work felt no connection to any purpose or larger endeavour..I could have put this down to the construction industry, a much-maligned industry, however as I began my career through the food and pharmaceutical industries I began to realise that much of business and society is hampered by the same reductive thinking which comes with an amnesia of purpose and a huge loss of value.
