Generative design can create unexpected options with high value.. We are now working on making Chips available to very large numbers of users through a web interface, to use generative design for pharmaceutical plants.

The improvement in producing ‘green hydrogen’ through the electrolysis of water is helping increase the benefits of CCU by reducing the industry’s demand for electricity in producing some chemicals.Hydrogen is required to produce ammonia, for example, an important material in many plastic production processes.

The benefit of water electrolysis is that it uses 7.5% less electricity than other methods.‘Black hydrogen’ is hydrogen produced using natural gas (methane) that is reacted with steam in a steam reformer, and ‘blue hydrogen’ uses carbon capture during the same process to reuse some of the carbon.Even with carbon capture, blue hydrogen still uses fossil fuels, so in some instances carbon capture needs to be used effectively.

It isn’t a blanket fix for every process..Even though CCU is currently at a low TRL, as funding comes in and progress is made, the development of this method, in conjunction with water electrolysis, would see greater reductions in industry electricity usage to perform these reactions and, therefore, greater reductions in GHG emissions..

Even with all the progress into modern renewable power, including wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and ocean power, these only account for 1.7% of global final energy demand.

To reduce our CO. 2. emissions correctly, industrial plastics production would ideally be designed with sustainable electricity production in mind to power their production in conjunction with CCU to reduce the carbon footprint further.. Reducing Our Carbon Footprint.If we’re talking about offsite construction, automation is essential to scale up.

I think it’s really important to rethink the construction process and that’s where robotics and advanced fabrication technologies help.’.ANNA KAPANI - COMPUTATIONAL DESIGNER.

'I feel that there’s nothing that can stop me.I'm very young and I’ve just started out, but I don’t want to always have in the back of my head that it might be more difficult because I’m a woman.
