Why Engineers Are Key In The Transition To A Sustainable Future We had the opportunity to sit down with the brilliant professor and mechanical engineer, dr. susan krumdieck, chair at heriot watt university in scotland. su. Professor susan krumdieck’s book transition engineering: building a sustainable future is a technical instructional manual for engineers faced with how to adapt within our cities to meet the targets of 80 percent less fossil fuel. not just the technical stuff, it’s also a strong imperative to do what we clearly must, to effect the.
Energy Transition Pdf Transition engineering: building a sustainable future examines new strategies emerging in response to the mega issues of global climate change, decline in world oil supply, scarcity of key industrial minerals, and local environmental constraints. these issues pose challenges for organizations, businesses, and communities, and engineers will. Dr krumdieck is a professor of mechanical engineering and co founder of the “transition engineering” movement: a new discipline focusing on rapidly delivering the 80% reduction in greenhouse gas production that is necessary to avoid runaway climate change. Her research focuses on developing the engineering methods and innovative technologies for adaptation to reduced fossil fuel production and consumption. she is an expert in developing new ideas for dealing with oil supply issues in transportation systems and urban planning. How could an oil&gas exploration and production company transition to not exploring for oil&gas, and stepping down production? how could they work with governments and other producers to set up new high price structures for the produced oil & gas? how could they work with refineries to manage the reduced supply?.

She is now chair in energy transition engineering at heriot watt university. she has a track record of building interdisciplinary research groups and building programmes that integrate research and education with industry, society and governance needs in understanding and navigating sustainable and renewable energy systems transitions. Dr susan p krumdieck is professor in mechanical engineering and director of the advanced energy and material systems lab, university of canterbury, new zealand. can technology solve the climate problem? dr krumdieck outlines her work on a new interdisciplinary practice called transition engineering: changing course one innovative project at a time. For the engineer, urban planner, futurist this book proves through engineering systems analysis that even with full implementation of renewable or sustainable energy sources, we will not produce enough power without petroleum products to meet our current needs. therefore, we must find ways to reduce our use. Susan krumdieck is a mechanical engineer, professor of engineering at heriot watt university, chair of the university’s energy transition, and author of transition engineering: building a sustainable future. susan joins me to discuss how a sustainable future is possible by starting with engineering principles.
