Climate Smart Engineering 2025
The Climate Smart Engineering Conference (CSE25) brings engineers and experts together as we explore how to tackle climate change through innovation, resilience, and collaboration. Attendees are able to explore cutting-edge technology, circular economy solutions and strategies for adapting built and natural environments. The event provides interactive sessions, technical insights and networking opportunities that inspire climate action across all sectors.
Presenting
Speaking in a session entitled 'Towards net zero desalination: a review in an Australian and European context', Robran Cock represents Ricardo at the event, contributing his wealth of experience as he explores the challenges and advancements in reducing the associated carbon emissions of the desalination processes in Australia and Europe. Considerations will be given to the energy-intensive nature of desalination and the potential strategies to mitigate its environmental impact.
Exploring the theme of 'transport and transport infrastructure', Jorge Martin Gistau and Tilo Franz both represent Ricardo as they provide expert insight to the opportunities and challenges facing trackside batteries in railways.
