Here's how industrialization could save the planet & the people on it.
Many industrial processes and products have significant carbon footprints, whether you’re looking at the life sciences, data sciences, energy, or infrastructure. New approaches are being discovered that can decarbonize these industries, but they are being developed faster than they can be implemented at scale. Jaimie Johnston, Head of Global Systems at Brydon Wood, shares how making connections between and within industrial sectors can help us accelerate the roll out of these new technologies. He illustrates this with the development of a low-carbon Ventolin inhaler by GSK, which necessitated collaboration across pharmaceuticals, process engineering, digital design, and sustainability. Johnston underscores the importance of accelerating the industrialization of new technologies using digital tools and manufacturing processes to meet future demands and advocates for an interdisciplinary approach, emphasizing interconnectedness and collaboration.
