While the Tier One role is likely to see the biggest change and will probably face the biggest challenge ahead in terms of evolving their mindsets and positions for the future models, the SMEs might be doing more of what they do, but better and more consistently.
Overcoming the climate emergency won’t stop with decarbonising electricity production.We need to replace our entire global, fossil fuel based energy infrastructure by 2050.
Transport and industry must be addressed alongside electricity production.We need solutions not only for coal, but also for liquid fuels.Terra Praxis is focusing on the most significant of energy initiatives, including oil and gas.
Currently, 100 million barrels of oil are used per day, with more than half of our global energy predicted to still be coming from fossil fuels by mid-century.This reality would lead to a three to four degree trajectory of warming, and a very bad environmental outcome.. One potential decarbonisation solution Terra Praxis has been exploring is the possibility of very low-cost, large-scale hydrogen production.
Hydrogen is difficult to store, transport and move around, so it isn’t particularly useful as an end product, as it would require a lot of new infrastructure for end users.
However, it does have strong potential as an ingredient in clean, drop-in, substitute fuels, such as ammonia (which can be used as a Marine shipping fuel), or synthetic hydrocarbons.undertaken in Hamburg for our recent book.
Design to Value., I was immediately taken by the humility of the process.
This project was the city’s response to the allocation of 20,000 migrants fleeing Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq to be housed.This was a people problem with complex, strong and diverse views and issues to negotiate.
