Port energy supply for green shipping corridors
This report explores the opportunities and challenges associated with developing infrastructure for alternative fuels, through a case study of a green shipping triangle in the Atlantic.
Key role of ports in unlocking investment in future fuel infrastructure
A study by Arup, Lloyd’s Register (LR) and The Resilience Shift has outlined the critical role of ports in driving and supporting the case for investment in energy infrastructure. It focuses on the integration of fuel demand for early adopters in green corridors, ports, and energy systems.
10 Tools for systems change to a zero carbon world
Working with the UNFCCC Climate Champions, Future Stewards has created a set of practical approaches and examples that offer some key approaches to systems change and act as an entry point to the rich set of futures and systems tools that are available.
Embrace ports resilience to advance decarbonisation, says new Resilience Shift report
The multiple drivers of change currently facing ports require a whole-systems approach before low-carbon, resilient port transformations can be realised says a new report from The Resilience Shift.
Decarbonisation and the role of technology
The whitepaper is jointly published by Resilience First and Intel. It looks at four techniques (i.e. adaptation, renewables, energy efficiency and carbon capture) as they are applied by different industries and sectors in an effort to achieve net-zero targets.
“Climate change is here now. Nobody’s safe, it is getting worse, faster”
Seth Schultz – “With the critical global actions on climate starting to accelerate, it is time too for all to urgently consider how they transform what they do, build more resilience, and contribute positively to a safe, sustainable and resilient future.”
Decarbonisation and the role of technology whitepaper
Resilience First, in partnership with Intel, have published a whitepaper on “Decarbonisation and the role of technology’, outlining how technology and innovation can be harnessed to cut emissions and accelerate the path to net-zero.
Can we deliver net carbon zero? Roundtable debate
As part of the ‘Triennial’ event ‘Planning for Climate Change and the Enhanced Resilience of Civil Infrastructure’ a collaboration by civil engineering organisations ICE, ASCE and CSCE, our own Seth Schultz will be taking part in a debate on delivering net carbon zero, and the role of the engineering community on Tuesday 25th May.
What can we learn from the WFEO climate stories?
The WFEO Climate Stories series is a collection of blogs written by WFEO committee members about climate change in six countries from around the world: Australian, Canada, China, France, Kenya and the UK. The blogs looked at how climate change is affecting each country, attitudes to climate change, what is being done to reduce carbon emissions, and the role engineers can play. Here Davide Stronati assesses what we can learn from the series.
What are the decarbonisation opportunities for the aviation sector and which technologies can help?
The aviation industry is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise as no low-emission alternatives currently exist for long-distance flights that can match the speed of air travel. However, technology …
What are the decarbonisation possibilities for the manufacturing sector and which technologies can help?
The manufacturing sector is a large part of the economy and decarbonisation will be a major undertaking. Manufacturing has been characterised as a significant source of carbon emissions as it …
Embrace ports resilience to advance decarbonisation, says new Resilience Shift report
The multiple drivers of change currently facing ports require a whole-systems approach before low-carbon, resilient ports transformations can be realised says a new report from The Resilience Shift. “This is the right time to catalyse the urgent action that needs to be taken by the whole ports-value chain to transform ports into low-carbon, resilient gateways”.
“Ports as keystones to our future low carbon society” – Mark Button on Resilience4Ports
As the Resilience4Ports phase one report is launched, on the resilience of the ports ecosystem, we talk to project leader and maritime engineer, Mark Button, about the experiences and motivations that led him to create the project and why he believes resilience is the unifying theme that can unite multiple agendas facing ports
What are the decarbonisation opportunities for the rail sector and how can technology help?
The webinar series “Decarbonisation and the role of technology’ looks at the role technology can play in helping to decarbonise a range of different sectors. This second webinar focussed on …
WFEO climate stories: China
The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is hosting the World Federation of Engineering Organizations’ (WFEO) Committee on Engineering and the Environment from 2019 to 2023. For this blog series, comissioned by ICE, committee members provide a snapshot of climate change impacts and solutions in their part of the world. To kick off, Professor Jianping Wu of Beijing’s Tsinghua University and his colleagues, Jing He and Xiaodong Guan, survey the scene in China.
What are the decarbonisation issues faced by cities and how can technology help?
The new webinar series from Resilience First and Intel, “Decarbonisation and the role of technology’ kicked off with a focused look at how technology can help cities to decarbonise.
Decarbonisation and the Role of Technology webinar series
Resilience First are running a series of webinars throughout March on the role innovative technologies can play in decarbonisation across a range of different sectors. See the programme and the event report from this week’s event.
A green resilient recovery
In anticipation of the Chancellor’s announcement on 8 July and other official actions, two powerful letters to the government advocate certain steps that business would like to see in the …
