This March, the industry will gather at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, London, for the inaugural Engineering Matters Awards. Over two weeks of episodes, we’ll be introducing all of the shortlisted entries.

The Awards will demonstrate why engineering matters. We’ll be sharing some exciting innovations. And we will be looking at a range of ways engineers and those in related fields can have a wider impact on the world. 

This episode focuses on shortlisted entries in the Environment category. We’ll learn how data on gas flaring can be used to cut emissions through the energy transition. We’ll find out how a community of naturalists have developed a geomodel that can be used to track wildlife around the world. And we’ll discover how satellite data and modelling is being used to help farmers cut their use of nitrogen fertilisers.
