The discussion positions advanced nuclear energy as an essential, large-scale contributor to global decarbonisation efforts, crucial for moving away from fossil fuels and achieving net-zero targets alongside other renewable energy sources.. 4.
We worked together to create a responsible development that minimised impact on the neighbours who had enjoyed open land behind their properties for many years.Our aim was to deliver a scheme that added value to the lives of the local community..
The developer’s forward-looking objective of creating a desirable community of rental apartments has informed a demographic spread within the resident community.Occupancy within the development has remained at 100% since its completion and there is a waiting list, with many residents requesting to purchase their properties outright.The active engagement of the community within the local area and their pride in the development is testament to the positive social impact of the project..
The project has also prioritised placemaking, providing great physical improvements to the neighbourhood.The formerly forgotten backland site now features pavilions surrounding a central communal green area, providing a fantastic outdoor space for the community to use and enjoy.
The lockdown imposed on us by the COVID-19 pandemic saw the urban garden-style placemaking at Churchwood Gardens really come into its own.
Residents could easily get out of their property and into the natural environment, while still feeling safe..and stores it to be sold on to whoever needs it later, whereas CCU reuses the collected CO. 2. almost immediately.
There are benefits to both systems, but CCU has less potential for wasted carbon dioxide.Both methods have been used at commercial scale with ‘undisputable technical and operational success for decades’ in the North Sea, North America, Australia and elsewhere.
Naturally, this isn’t a closed loop; feedstock will always need to be provided.But given that, as of 2019, carbon feedstock equated to 58% of the usage of carbon-based materials like crude oil and other fossil fuels in the industry, it would be a positive step to use carbon capture to reduce the amount required, and therefore begin to lower the carbon footprint of the industrial plastic produced using these methods..
