At Bryden Wood we have many industrial clients who are concerned with transforming raw materials into new products through complex processes.

Together, renewables plus advanced nuclear (with thermal energy storage) can reduce emissions and improve performance in future electricity grids, lowering overall system cost.. 9.Current and emerging advanced heat sources (new generation nuclear reactors) can do more than just provide reliable, clean electricity.

They can offer added flexibility for power grids, decarbonise heating and industrial processes, and produce low-cost hydrogen and synthetic fuels..According to the Expert Group on Resource Management of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, nuclear energy is an ‘indispensable tool’ for achieving the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs).It will have a crucial role in providing affordable energy and climate change mitigation, as well as eliminating poverty, achieving zero hunger, providing clean water, economic growth and industry innovation.. 10.

In terms of what is safe and clean, fossil fuels are far more dangerous than renewables and nuclear energy.. 11.Arguing against the benefits of nuclear power, opponents will list additional reasons why we should not use nuclear: cost, feasibility and the energy required to mine uranium and create nuclear power stations.

But the same aspects are a matter of debate for renewables.

These objections are perfectly relevant in determining the right mix for our energy production portfolio.It leads to testing of the value parameters each of these elements is being measured against.

It is rigorous, logical and data-driven.Its application in construction is transformational.. Design to Value may lead to a solution that is very different to the one initially conceived, but it will be a solution that is fully thought through, appropriate and complete.

A built asset that delivers value across the piece.. Iterate in digital.Our approach is to dismantle a process rigorously until we reduce it to its smallest components.
