SMART CITY HIGHLIGHTS

CITIES’ DECARBONISATION…

Cities use multiple sources of energy to deliver light, heat and mobility. As the focal point for these systems, cities can develop an integrated approach to manage energy across transport, buildings, industry and power grids. Decarbonising cities is fundamental to achieving net zero goals by 2050.

Net-Zero Carbon Emission Cutting carbon emissions to as close to zero as possible with any remaining emissions re-absorbed from the atmosphere, by oceans and forests.

Energy Efficiency

01

03

Use of less energy to perform the same task or produce the same result. Renewable energy offered lowest carbon footprint of all energy types.

Waste Heat Recovery

Carbon Capture

02

04

Involves the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial processes, commercial activities & domestic waste. Forests sequester CO2 by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Capturing and transferring the waste heat from a process with a gas or liquid back to the system as an extra energy source.
