By methodically breaking down these elements, we unlock insights that drive design improvements and performance optimisation.

These large, floating platforms are akin to what the oil and gas industries use today, and would enable us to achieve extremely low costs..In essence, the proposed model here is the same as for repowering coal.

We need to figure out how to make highly productive, manufactured products, in highly automated environments.Ultimately, this would create the opportunity to move away from electricity generation, which is tethered to a transmission system and the electricity market, towards a commodities based system, focused around the production of a product which can be stored, transported and exported to global markets.This is how we can free up siting opportunities, and enable very scalable, offshore siting to really come into its own.. We should also be looking to appropropriate some of the existing petrochemical supply chain, adopting its relevant skills, and the existing oil and gas infrastructure, and moving these elements into a better space.

We’ll make the adoption of new, clean fuels much more likely if we create drop-in, substitute fuels that can be produced at a comparable cost, with the same performance, as the fuels we use today, and then distribute them through the existing supply chain infrastructure.. Reducing risk as we decarbonise.In other words, we want clean energy solutions which won’t require big behavioural changes, or huge investment in associated infrastructure.

That’s how we’ll reduce risk, because such fuels won’t require the sequencing of a whole load of investments in order to make the product really work.

As with the desired shift to Modern Methods of Construction in the design and construction industry, we need to address the cultural blockers to the change, and lower the barrier to entry so that it becomes both the right thing to do, and an easy thing to do.. We want the transition to cleaner technologies and fuel sources to become an irresistible, straightforward decision for investors, which means making them more profitable, and working with the grain of human behaviour.Reduced depletion of natural resources.

Increased lifespan of buildings.Retaining the value of materials and building assets.. Design strategies for sustainable solutions in construction.

Define the metrics for the project from the outset so the whole team knows the goals..Prepare a material inventory with opportunities to reuse materials.
