Decarbonising aviation is a herculean task, but a tiny green dot could spur the air industry towards net zero. The HBx organism from HutanBio holds the potential to radically change both the carbon intensity of transport fuels and the economics of the biofuel industry.

The construction sector globally is facing many challenges, including availability, cost and safety of labour. It must also confront topics such as environmental sustainability and cost of materials. Meanwhile, DX is a growing trend that can help address these challenges, with automation and autonomous technologies being a key enabler.

We're ramping up our commitment to The Engine, the ambitious venture capital firm spun out of MIT to support ‘Tough Tech’ companies and solve key challenges in climate change, human health and advanced systems.

CC put forward a team to take part in the British Antarctic Survey’s Decarbonisation Hackathon. The aim was to find new solutions to completely decarbonise the Rothera research base in Antarctica, beyond those that British Antarctic Survey (BAS) had determined could account for the first 70% of their energy demand.

Now don’t be alarmed, but I want to pose a potentially unnerving question: just how safe is artificial intelligence? Those of you of a sensitive disposition might already be recalling images of James Cameron’s self-aware Terminators hunting down humankind in a post-nuclear wasteland.

Digital transformation surges on, with market sectors as diverse as automotive, consumer packaged goods and healthcare unlocking new revenue streams, greater customer insights and deeper connections with consumers.

Extraordinary advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, wireless connectivity and edge compute are opening up transformative commercial opportunities for all sorts of businesses. Now is the time to seize them. This whitepaper could act as your window on the future – offering as it does a practical guide to navigating the road from automation to autonomy.

The Middle East Energy Transition Dialogues panel discussion is part of an exclusive roundtable series and a unique opportunity to hear experts from around the world share their expertise.

Over a series of discussions with clients on sustainability we’ve been building a quick and accessible modelling tool to model the carbon cost implications of typical high-volume products across a variety of markets.

The ambition to reduce or eliminate single-use plastics from the world’s supply chains is of course as laudable as it is essential. I’m proud to be part of a team of colleagues dedicated to doing something about it – by creating a guide that is helping innovators switch to alternatives.

Watch Nathan Wrench, Head of Sustainability Innovation at Cambridge Consultants, discussing pressing topics in the oil and gas industry, from clean technology to net zero challenges and the digital revolution's role.

The hugely exciting – not to say revolutionary – promise of quantum computing comes with a significant challenge. The seismic technology shift that is already underway will render a chunk of our current cryptographic standards moot.
