Decarbonising the built environment

The devastating consequences of climate change are impacting lives and livelihoods in all corners of the world. A new Ramboll podcast discusses the challenges and solutions to this crisis as they relate to the world-wide construction industry.

In a world with a growing population and increasing consumption, there is a pressing need to use our resources in the best possible way. This involves reducing waste generation, ensuring high-quality recycling, and using residual waste for efficient and clean energy generation at waste-to-energy facilities. Listen to Ramboll’s podcast about ideas that help solve global problems.

Areas like California experience longer and more severe droughts due to climate change. To avoid water scarcity, they need to increase the share of groundwater in the water supply. Geophysicists from Ramboll help map groundwater resources around the world by using advanced scanning technology. Listen to Ramboll’s podcast about ideas that help solve global problems.

Cutting cost is essential to accelerate the green transition. Using advanced cloud-based computing, engineers are making major progress in this field. In one offshore wind project, it saved almost a thousand tons of steel - on each foundation.

How do we move around the world’s growing and congested cities without increasing air pollution and CO2 emissions? Transport systems need to be smart and sustainable. Listen to Ramboll’s first podcast about ideas that help solve global problems.
