Replacing coal with clean energy.
Jaimie Johnston MBE., Head of Global Systems, as he discusses the concept of reference design and its pivotal role in transforming major construction programmes.. Key takeaways:.
Understanding reference design:.Learn about Bryden Wood's unique approach where a centralised, highly optimised core design is developed and then adapted to specific sites and local conditions.This method proves crucial for clients with national or global projects requiring rapid execution..
Efficiency and cost-effectiveness:.Discover how reference design circumvents the need to start from scratch for each project, thereby saving time and reducing costs.
It avoids unnecessary variation that adds expense without value, focusing instead on efficiency and operational effectiveness.. Client-specific flexibility:.
Gain insights into how reference design varies based on client or sector needs, with examples from the Ministry of Justice and the healthcare sector, demonstrating the adaptability and customisation of the approach..So, together with Terra Praxis, other specialists and key stakeholders, we are developing a solution that will contribute to creating a huge market for rapid, low-cost repowering of coal and gas plants with carbon-free advanced heat sources, while delivering a substantial portion of the clean electricity required to help achieve Net Zero by 2050.. 18.
The answer is nuclear.We are facing a climate crisis, and a rapidly closing window of opportunity in which to address it.
The terms of the debate, where ‘nuclear’ is used to cover old technology and its associated problems, must be updated.Rather than frame the debate as either / or, we should be looking objectively at all the potential decarbonisation solutions we have.
