Alamos National Laboratory in relocating equipment to monitor air quality in Tasmania . These efforts inform evidencebased decisions for government , industry and research agencies , contributing to global climate resilience .
The future of addressing the world ’ s biggest energy challenges With net zero only in reach if low-carbon energy is both affordable and secure , collaboration is key to tackling energy challenges – including the barriers to green investments – head-on .
Tackling this by employing a problem-centric approach for open and collaborative discussions aimed at enhancing outcomes for communities and environments while balancing costs , GHD has a number of strategies , which include :
• Cost reduction through optimising project design , identifying potential financing and adopting long-term strategies to scale sustainable solutions for economies of scale . For example , GHD is supporting National Grid with innovation funded projects , including optimising the connection arrangement for hydrogen electrolysers to distribution networks .
• Technology and innovation are pivotal and , by exploring their benefits , GHD can identify more ways to support the de-risking of the transition while managing costs . GHD works closely with LAVO in developing their novel HEOS hydride technology for hydrogen in response to a market need for longterm energy storage .
These are integral to ensuring green solutions are accessible , risk free and as beneficial as possible .
“ Addressing the world ’ s biggest challenges in energy is no easy feat , but we are committed to addressing global energy challenges by working closely with our clients to ensure long-term , sustainable strategies are implemented in every project ,” Tom concludes . “ We firmly believe our efforts provide valuable solutions that advance sustainability performance and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for everyone .”
