The broader impact of TIP 2021.The Roadmap to 2030 discusses the wider implications of the change.
It talks about disaggregated supply chains, and therefore how we might engage SMEs, or how we might lower the barrier to entry.It talks about the strong link between digital and physical, in that, once you have these components, it unlocks configurators and the potential for a digital marketplace.TIP 2021 talks about factory-like conditions on site.. There’s been an increasing sophistication around people's understanding of modern methods of construction, in that MMC doesn't just mean offsite, and neither does platform construction (P-DfMA), We’re starting to talk much more about the real drivers.
We want our assets delivered in a way that’s better, faster and greener.The aim is for less material, fewer people, higher productivity, and automation and activity where it's best suited..
The emphasis with The Roadmap to 2030 is very much on that process from concept and design, right through to the end of an asset’s life.
The use of data in a consistent way, as part of the information management mandate, will be key to ensuring ongoing effectiveness across the whole life-cycle.Although some argue that it would be technically possible to meet all of our energy needs using renewable energy sources by 2050,.
4. it is much harder to argue that it is practically possible to achieve the necessary, aggressive decarbonising of emissions within the next decade.The only countries that have been able to achieve the required rate in carbon emission reductions are those that have been using nuclear power (see figure below).. 5.
Renewables require a lot more land, as well as the installation of additional distribution grid, which takes time and becomes increasingly more difficult and costly, as the obvious and easy places for these technologies have already been taken, and further away, more difficult land or sea locations are now the only option for development.. 6.Whether an (almost) all-renewables portfolio could provide the required clean energy, and whether it is realisable quickly enough remains a matter of debate.
