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 is the last of three focussing on shortlisted entries in the Net Zero category, and the last in this awards mini-series. We’ll be abc next Thursday with one of our regular episodes.

We’ll find out about a new, global, tool for measuring the cradle to grave carbon costs of any asset. We’ll discover a new, efficient, way to build floating offshore wind turbines. We’ll learn how a conversation in a university lab, has led to the development of a new way to capture carbon and turn it into buildings. And we’ll meet a Formula One champion who is on track to revolutionise liquid fuels
