The SBE Partners and Permanent Co-hosts are:  • CIB, International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction • International Initiative for a Sustainable Built Environment (iiSBE) • FIDIC - International Federation of Consulting Engineers • UN Environment Programme We look forward to your e-participation & contributions to a more sustainable built and urban environment future! #WSBE #WSBE24 #SBEconferences #Sustainable #builtenvironment #buildings #construction #realestate #cities #urban #sustainabledevelopment #circularconstruction #regenerativedesign #innovation #SDG7 #SDG9 #SDG11 #SDG12 #SDG13 #SDG17

Semcon’s climate target has now been validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). “While our largest possibility to contribute to the shift to a net-zero society is through our customer projects, we ourselves must do what is required of all companies and organisations right now. The approval of our climate target by the SBTi validates that our commitment is in line with the 1.5°C ambition,” says Markus Granlund, CEO of #Semcon. To halve our emissions by 2030 has been Semcon’s target for several years and we are continuously taking actions to turn our ambition into reality. Because action is of course what matters in the end. Read more in our press release, link in comment. #Sustainability #NetZero #ScienceBasedTargetsinitiative

CALL FOR PAPERS NOW OPEN! IPWEA WA 2025 State Conference: Equity in Public Works: 13 - 14 March 2025. Submit to [email protected] by Friday 25 October 2024. Abstracts should include a focus on challenges, solutions – both proven or possible, lessons learned, new and potential future technologies and innovations, and, as always, the inclusion of case studies is welcomed. Potential presenters are requested to provide a personal bio, a photograph (in JPEG format) and an abstract of no more than 300 words outlining the content of their presentation by Friday 25 October 2024. The Conference theme for 2025 is ”Equity in Public Works”. The idea behind the theme is that it can promote both social and economic equity so it covers pretty much everything, including but not limited to: budgets, people/relationships, infrastructure, housing, parks and public places, lighting, roads, transport, asset management, environment, climate change and so much more.

Future Cleantech Architects Featured in FORESIGHT Climate & Energy's The Jolt Podcast on Decarbonizing High-Temperature Heat As a preview of our newly released technical report, our Cleantech Analyst Antoine Koen was interviewed by Kira Taylor for last week’s edition of The Jolt podcast on decarbonizing high-temperature heat in industry.   In most cases, the best solution will be direct electrification, despite significant economic challenges due to high energy costs, as it is the only truly future-proof option. Making it feasible requires lowering electricity costs, among other measures.   Expanding grid capacity and coverage increases electricity supply locally, reducing costs and enabling currently insufficiently connected plants to electrify (especially SMEs). Solar and wind power generation are cheap if their intermittency can be addressed at low cost, which is uniquely feasible for HT applications with thermal storage in the short to medium term. Thermal storage can be much cheaper than batteries. Still, it is crucial to strongly and continuously support renewable expansion by a combination of other storage technologies and the development of dispatchable clean power (e.g. advanced geothermal).   In addition to electrification, there are multiple potential options to directly generate clean heat further down the line, especially at low and medium temperatures. These options include concentrated solar or geothermal, and could have advantages over electric heat in the future, in particular if grid access remains a severe bottleneck for direct electrification.   Our new technical report comprehensively compares the different technology pathways available for decarbonizing high-temperature heat processes in industry. The analysis answers key questions, including which pathways are most promising, which limitations exist today, and which systemic changes – both inside and outside industrial plants – are required for a techno-economically successful transition to clean high-temperature heat in industry.
