Sustainability in Engineering Week

23-27 September 2024

With each year that passes, ‘net zero’ targets draw closer and the need to decarbonise becomes ever more pressing. Engineering has a wealth of technologies and systems that are making a vital difference, but are you up to date on the latest advances? Attend Sustainability in Engineering to get expert knowledge about the most important low-carbon solutions, and help build a cleaner, greener tomorrow.

The full agenda for Sustainability in Engineering 2024 is detailed below:

Role of Hydrogen in Sustainable Energy Systems: Engineering Challenges

Join Cranfield University for an exploration of how hydrogen can revolutionise the engineering landscape and drive sustainability. Our expert panel will delve into the opportunities and challenges of using hydrogen as a fuel source, and its applications in civil aviation, the chemical industry, and power generation.
 
Cranfield is leading the way in hydrogen research and technologies, via the development of the first major hydrogen technology hub to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen as a net zero aviation fuel: the Cranfield Hydrogen Integration Incubator (CH2i).
 
Join us to find out about the latest thinking and research being carried out in this area.

Sustainability-driven Innovation

Carbon accounting, the rising use of digital tools and roadmaps to CO2 net-zero are driving significant innovations in engineering and manufacturing companies. Large established companies, with their substantial resources, are systematically transitioning to net-zero by implementing comprehensive sustainability strategies. In contrast, disruptor start-ups leverage agility and sustainability focused technologies to embed from inception.


This webinar examines how both long established companies and start-ups navigate the path to net-zero, assessing their respective strategies, technological advancements, and overall viability. We begin to gain insights into the diverse methods fostering a sustainable future in engineering and manufacturing, highlighting the potential for both competition and collaboration.
