In some respects they’re the easy ones, because many of them are already manufacturing products.

Although the reality of this situation is actually invisible to most people, it’s imperative that we start doing more than we’re currently doing.Nuclear power could become a key part of our decarbonisation strategy, and we’re starting to see an interesting shift take place.

The traditional, anti-nuclear left is beginning to become marginalised.In fact, Gogan says that the representation from nuclear, and the appetite for these new nuclear, advanced heat technologies, was strong at COP26.She’s also pleased with the decision to have an annual holding to account, rather than the five year timeframe we’ve previously been using.

Hopefully, she says, this will put more pressure on wealthy nations to demonstrate progress.. At Bryden Wood, we believe that making a shift towards smaller, repeatable, manufactured elements is an important part of the path forward.Approaching design and construction in this way helps to reduce material waste, producing more efficient and sustainable built assets.

When looking at the vast scale of a project like Hinkley Point, at its enormous costs and lengthy timescales, it’s clear to see what the problems are.

We need a solution that’s much faster, more scalable and deployable, and we need it right away.They are the embodiment of a system.

The core purpose of the project drives the analysis that informs the selection of Chips..Defining Chips for the project.

At a point in each project, we go through the process of defining Chips for that project, in order to develop a Chip library.This can start with a reference design, or a blank piece of paper.
