Sustainable engineering – not just engineering for sustainability
Net zero now forms the heart of policies and strategies across government, from “levelling up” to “build back better”. Combined with the UK’s National Infrastructure Strategy, it is clear that engineering – particularly new technologies such as robotics and AI – has a core role in our decarbonisation efforts. But how green are the technologies that will drive the green recovery? In this blog, Professor Michael Fisher outlines how the digital revolution in engineering will affect every aspect of net zero, and the role of policymakers and regulators in ensuring these technologies are themselves striving for decarbonisation.
