Did you know this? 👩‍🔬 Yesterday was #WomenInEngineeringDay and according to the Society of Women Engineers, women constitute approximately 12.5% of the engineering workforce in the UK. This highlights a significant gender disparity in the field, where female representation remains low despite ongoing efforts to encourage more women to pursue careers in engineering. So, what additional efforts can we make to inspire women to pursue careers in engineering? ⚙ Introduce STEM Early ⚙ Supportive Learning Environments ⚙ Address Bias & Stereotypes ⚙ Professional Development & Leadership Programs ⚙ Workplace Culture ⚙ Recognition & Awards As we reflect on Women in Engineering Day and the ongoing challenges of gender representation in the field, it's clear that concerted efforts are needed to create a more inclusive future. Together, let's continue striving towards a future where diversity in engineering is not only celebrated but fully realised. #engineering #diversity #inclusion #STEM #education #careers #womeninSTEM #womeninengineering

A new report from the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) urges the government to take bold action to decarbonise the GB electricity system and achieve clean power by 2030. Led by the Royal Academy of Engineering, the report recommends the government frame this goal as a national mission, similar to the vaccines task force. Essential steps include boosting offshore wind capacity, enhancing the transmission network, and expanding onshore wind and solar generation. The report also emphasises the need for progress on carbon capture and hydrogen transmission this decade. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eSiVxujn

🌍 As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth it's important to recognise and honour the contributions of Black leaders who inspire us to push boundaries in every field. One such trailblazer is Mary Jackson, NASA’s first Black female engineer. Her tenacity, brilliance and dedication broke through barriers and opened doors for future generations of women and underrepresented groups in STEM. At Energylab, we’re not just inspired by Mary Jackson’s story—we’re motivated by her legacy. As a certified #BCorp building services consultancy, our commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) is at the core of everything we do. By fostering inclusive environments and advocating for diverse representation, we align ourselves with the values of fairness and opportunity that pioneers like Mary Jackson stood for. Why does this matter? Because diversity isn't just a goal—it’s a strength. It fuels innovation, collaboration, and sustainable progress not least through promoting social cohesion and sustainable poverty reduction. This Black History Month, let's honour the legacy of Black innovators by continuing to build equitable and inclusive spaces—both in our industry and beyond. 💡🌱 #DiversityInSTEM #WomenInEngineering #Sustainability #Bcorp #BuildingServices #BlackExcellence #DEI #SDGs

National Grid projects get Ofgem funding Three National Grid-led projects developing electricity transmission and distribution network innovations will continue after securing £15.3m from the next stage of Ofgem’s Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) programme. National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) has been awarded £8.5m for a project that will help develop a net zero electricity network by creating a long-term strategy to remove electrical insulating gas SF6 from the network. National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) has been awarded £6.8m for two projects supporting local decision-making on regional energy planning for net zero on a single digital platform and addressing the potential load imbalance across phases in the distribution network as more customers opt for low carbon technologies.

A radical approach is required from government to drive the major infrastructure and system transformation needed to decarbonise the GB electricity system and provide clean power by 2030, according to a new report from our National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC), published today. Compiled by an independent working group led by the Royal Academy of Engineering and supported by a grant from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, the report highlights the need for government to clearly set out the value of this target as a national mission, in a similar way to the work of the vaccines task force. Delivery of a highly decarbonised electricity system by 2030 will require a sharp increase in offshore wind capacity, as well as ensuring delivery of the transmission network that is already in train, and expanding onshore wind and solar generation, particularly in places where the grid already has capacity to accept new generation. The report also highlights changes to a future energy system that, although they cannot be delivered before 2030, will still require action this decade - such as expanding carbon capture and storage projects and achieving progress on hydrogen transmission.

NEWS: A report published today by the Royal Academy of Engineering's National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) calls for a radical approach from the UK government to drive the major infrastructure and system transformation needed to decarbonise the GB electricity system and provide clean power by 2030.  'Rapid Decarbonisation of the GB Electricity System' was compiled by an independent working group led by the Royal Academy of Engineering and features input from IChemE Fellow, Professor Nilay Shah OBE FREng CEng FIChemE. Professor Shah said: "It will be important to develop a strategic plan from which other key decisions will flow. These key decisions include deciding where new infrastructure and assets will be, as well as supply chain and procurement planning. "It will also include the development of a digital strategy to support roll out and real time operation of the system, and ensuring consistency with the interventions which will be needed in the following decades.” Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/eSiVxujn For more information on the role that chemical engineers can play in the energy transition, read our recently published report, 'Engineering A Sustainable World - The Chemical Engineering Challenge': https://lnkd.in/ezJCrJ84

Today, the Royal Academy of Engineering's National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC), published their findings on what is needed for the rapid decarbonisation of the GB electricity system. The findings suggest that the sharp ramp up in delivery of decarbonised generation this decade must come primarily from wind and solar capacity.   The work of our 2023 and 2024 Laureates, recognised for their groundbreaking advances in solar power and wind power respectively, is making an essential contribution to achieving these goals. The 2023 Laureates, who developed advanced solar cell technologies, have significantly contributed to the efficiency and affordability of renewable energy sources. In addition, the 2024 Laureates were pivotal in the development of modern wind power technology, which has been crucial in increasing the engineering and economic performance of wind turbines.   Together, these achievements exemplify the power of engineering excellence to drive sustainable progress and align seamlessly with the decarbonisation strategies outlined in this important report.
