Using sustainable methods to produce bio-methane and bio-methanol in place of fossil fuel derived versions, helps reduce the total amount of fossil fuels circulating in the industrial plastics industry and, therefore, the extent to which emissions are generated.. A study by Gabrielli et al, investigating the benefits of carbon capture, used the visual below to show how each system works and how the captured carbon is being reused (Figure 1)..
(2/2020) which sets out a range of government projects for which MiC adoption will be mandatory.Early adopter projects in Hong Kong have had some success with MiC although so far this has been limited to particular building types, primarily social and elderly housing.
A range of other projects are in development, however Hong Kong remains a comparatively small market which makes it challenging to scale up a modular supply chain.There is huge production capacity available in neighbouring mainland China but Hong Kong’s building regulations limit available supply sources.. Hong Kong has an aging construction workforce but is well situated to take advantage of the industrial capability already present in the Greater Bay Area.Moving more construction work off-site into a factory is the logical solution.
With road and sea access to a large supply chain with few import restrictions in the Greater Bay Area, it will be possible to pre-manufacture components of almost any size required to achieve benefit..Applying the Lessons of Manufacturing.
For Bryden Wood, an attractive aspect of both Singapore and Hong Kong has been the enthusiasm and commitment to drive construction productivity improvement through innovation.
We have been working hard to move the conversation forward in both markets.Due to the data flow rate and a perceived lack of secure systems and protocols, WiFi is not used for laboratory instruments.
The need for wired ethernet and the development of CAT standards is driving larger service voids (bigger, more expensive lab buildings) which in turn restricts flexibility and adaptability..The data issue is another factor impacting the skill sets required in the laboratory..
Although the automation path forward for laboratories is uncertain, it was felt that longer-term plans and strategies were needed.. For example, if automated systems become prevalent, they become increasingly critical to operations and supply chains.This brings with it a need for increased reliability, redundancy and contingencies..
