Presenter and climate scientist, Rosh D’Arcy, introduces us to the bold pioneers and innovators using engineering simulation to solve our planet’s greatest threat: climate change. This three-part series examines the innovative ways engineers around the globe are working to meet the promises of the Paris Climate Agreement, and above all, Save Our Planet.
New Energy
Explore how innovative companies like X1 Wind, Baker Hughes, and General Fusion are developing new, clean, and renewable energy sources – including everything from nuclear fusion, to natural gas, to harnessing the energy of the powerful winds far off at sea.
Mobility
The ways we move are getting smarter, greener, faster, and safer. Join Rosh D’Arcy in this episode, as he visits Turntide to dig deeper into battery usage and second life for this popular energy source. Next is MagniX, who is cleaning up air traffic by swapping polluting jets for all-electric propeller commuter planes. And see how Bimotal’s electric motor is easily turning any bike into an e-bike.
Clean Up
Humans are messy. With our only home spiraling perilously into climate change, it’s essential that we slow the costly effects of our past ways. In this episode, we visit Climeworks, to see how carbon capture is part of the solution for cleaner air. Several miles above, Astroscale reminds us about the importance of keeping the space around our planet clean, ensuring satellites and debris are captured and de-orbited in safe and sustainable ways. And finally we visit Enerkem, to see how one man’s trash becomes another’s fuel.
