What we need to do now, she says, is reevaluate the perceived risks of nuclear, against the risks of failing to decarbonise, and adopt advanced heat solutions to help us on our journey.. At Bryden Wood, we believe it’s important to lean into all of the technologies available to us at this critical time.
In the world today there are less than 200 nuclear submarines and about 440 full-scale nuclear reactors which have been developed in the last 70 years since the first in 1951.So purely to replace aviation fuel we must exponentially increase our ability to deliver hardware.
And of course, it doesn’t have to be nuclear.50,000 wind turbines would also deliver the required power, in the world today there are already 350,000.. Industrialisation of the past advanced many things for humans, but it has also led us into this deep furrow.The fourth industrial revolution has often been proclaimed as that of AI, Machine Learning, the internet of things, but the fourth industrial revolution needs to be about decarbonisation.
This will be about the industrialisation of wind, wave, water, solar power; industrialisation of energy saving, carbon-capture and energy storage.All this must be done with the lowest embedded carbon methods we can find, while also protecting and supporting the natural world to begin to thrive again..
This is no simple task.
However, we know that the systematisation of methods, super-charged with developments in creative technologies, is a proven way to exponentially industrialise, as it has in the last 100 years.How productive can those people be?.
Our goal with P-DfMA is lean construction.We want to remove anything which doesn’t add value.
To achieve the best possible results, we must change the way we think, the way we manage materials and people.Design must form the entry point, with that particular element of P-DfMA serving as the foundation and pervading principle for everything which follows.
