However, if we instead repurpose all of the existing thermal sites, repowering the US coal-fired power plants with new nuclear, advanced heat solutions, we could reduce the amount of new transmission bills by an incredible forty percent.. Gogan says this represents a radical de-risking of our net zero transition, and presents a huge opportunity for decarbonisation.

The terrace (rendering).The Forge is a development of two nine-storey commercial office buildings, approximately 14,000m2 large, in central London, close to the Tate Modern.

It is a collaboration between., one of the UK’s largest real estate companies, Bryden Wood as architects and engineers, and the prototyping and fabricating company.It received funding from.

, the UK’s innovation agency, in recognition of its transformational potential, demonstrating the benefits to all constituents of the platforms approach to design and construction.Merging Manufacturing and Construction The Forge is a key moment in construction..

It is the world’s first major commercial development to be designed and built using a platform approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA).

Bryden Wood has developed P-DfMA over many years..Despite building renewables in windy and sunny places, and combining them to increase the capacity factors, there’s still a cost to transport those fuels around the world, leading to high prices.

In contrast, with advanced heat sources, it’s possible to move into a shipyard based manufacturing environment to make offshore production platforms.These large, floating platforms are akin to what the oil and gas industries use today, and would enable us to achieve extremely low costs..

In essence, the proposed model here is the same as for repowering coal.We need to figure out how to make highly productive, manufactured products, in highly automated environments.
