#255 The Engineering Matters Awards – Sustainability, part 2

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 second of two looking at the sustainability category. We’ll discover how landfill methane can be captured and used, for energy and to produce graphene. We’ll learn how researchers are developing ways to harvest rice straw, reducing climate changing emissions and supporting local communities. We’ll find out about a campaign to make better use of electronic components. And we’ll see how one EV manufacturer is focusing on long term reliability for robust commercial vehicles.
