This has often resulted in solutions that require no capital expenditure at all, because we find different ways of meeting the requirements..

Transport and industry must be addressed alongside electricity production.We need solutions not only for coal, but also for liquid fuels.

Terra Praxis is focusing on the most significant of energy initiatives, including oil and gas.Currently, 100 million barrels of oil are used per day, with more than half of our global energy predicted to still be coming from fossil fuels by mid-century.This reality would lead to a three to four degree trajectory of warming, and a very bad environmental outcome.. One potential decarbonisation solution Terra Praxis has been exploring is the possibility of very low-cost, large-scale hydrogen production.

Hydrogen is difficult to store, transport and move around, so it isn’t particularly useful as an end product, as it would require a lot of new infrastructure for end users.However, it does have strong potential as an ingredient in clean, drop-in, substitute fuels, such as ammonia (which can be used as a Marine shipping fuel), or synthetic hydrocarbons.

Importantly, this would mean that existing storage, transport and end-use infrastructure could continue to be used, including the use of today's planes and ships, making these kinds of solutions extremely useful..

The sticking point is that in order for hydrogen to be used successfully as an ingredient in these alternative fuels, it needs to be very inexpensive, costing less than one dollar per kilogram.While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value.

He is committed to the betterment of lives through individual and collective endeavours.. As well as his business and pharmaceutical experience, Dyson is Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, focussing on project management, business strategy and collaboration.. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with a private practice and looks to bring the understanding of human behaviour into business and projects.. To learn more about our Design to Value philosophy, read Design to Value: The architecture of holistic design and creative technology by Professor John Dyson, Mark Bryden, Jaimie Johnston MBE and Martin Wood.Available to purchase at.Design to Value evolved gradually and intuitively – and holistically.

From designing the brief to considering how elements should be delivered on site to how best to engage the supply chain to how to repurpose existing technology – these things were always central to the Design to Value thinking, even before being labelled as such.. Design to Value purports that the front-end of the project needs to focus on developing data to support decision making at all stages of a meandering process – where each decision step is influenced by the one before.This has to be done on a project-by-project basis because decisions vary accordingly, demanding different amounts and kinds of work and design elements.
