We’re designing with the government’s 2050 net-zero carbon objective in mind, and we’re on track to meet that goal.

Others are designed deliberately with the intention of being ‘iconic’..In the case of the Forge, its landmark status comes as the culmination of many years of thinking and development, and the first embodied proof point of an approach to design and construction that has the potential to transform construction..

In doing so, it delivers a raft of benefits to the built environment and, in particular through significant reductions in embodied and operational carbon, to society more broadly (the construction sector currently accounts for 38% of global carbon emissions)..The terrace (rendering).The Forge is a development of two nine-storey commercial office buildings, approximately 14,000m2 large, in central London, close to the Tate Modern.

It is a collaboration between., one of the UK’s largest real estate companies, Bryden Wood as architects and engineers, and the prototyping and fabricating company.

It received funding from.

, the UK’s innovation agency, in recognition of its transformational potential, demonstrating the benefits to all constituents of the platforms approach to design and construction.However, if we repower the existing coal power plants with advanced heat sources instead of shutting them down, the plants will likely run at a much higher capacity factor than they do today and at lower cost.

This will make them even more profitable.There will also be the potential to add other value driving services, such as atmospheric carbon removal, as well as hydrogen production with the cooling towers.

All of this work would turn these communities into clean energy hubs that will operate for decades to come..The future of coal.
