Measured in the UK, the construction sector is the sixth largest in terms of employment and is responsible for over 12% of the UK’s 5.9m small and medium-sized enterprises.

We need to replace our entire global, fossil fuel based energy infrastructure by 2050.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..No process like this can be perfect but it can be good: constructive, educational and democratising.

Research suggested that many of these values had been achieved..There is no doubt that there is complexity in the world.

There are competing beliefs, experiences, traditions and thus there are no perfect designs, no perfect solutions, however there is always the opportunity for great processes and great outcomes.Within change and complexity, we cannot hope to reach these aspirations by simply sticking with tradition.
