Solving our environmental, climate and affordability trilemma requires bringing together two factors that could be considered opposing ends of the spectrum: sustainable nature-based approaches and cutting-edge data- and technology-enabled solutions. This paper defines the trilemma and the impacts on the CSOs challenge, then discusses the art of the possible for these novel approaches and the potential regulatory, societal and technological shifts required to empower these solutions.

Providing sustainable alternatives for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of substations, this paper allows utilities to navigate the future of clean, secure, affordable and decarbonized energy systems that support their climate response and clean energy transition efforts.

Jacobs and Yarra Valley Water have partnered to deliver a thought leadership paper which asks ‘what if’ the growth of Australia’s hydrogen industry could be supported by co-located hydrogen production at wastewater treatment plants? Find out in our latest insights.

Can hydrogen live up to its potential for economic growth without compromising Australia’s broader sustainability goals including emissions reduction and water security?

This paper by Jacobs' Global Technical Lead for Hydropower, Simon Bailey, focuses on the need for developing further long-term energy storage in the U.K. to increase the use of surplus renewables generation, helping the country to reach its objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. It also investigates the current market barriers that are preventing further long-term storage developments from being implemented in the U.K. at present and suggests alternative market mechanisms that could be introduced to encourage potential developers to enter the market.

Climate change is a global problem that will result in severe consequences at the coast. Strategic coastal planning, management and adaptation are key to mitigating future losses and ensuring that coastal development and communities are sustainable in the long-term.

The latest IPCC report outlines the sheer scale of the challenge we have before us in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the worst effects of climate change on people and the planet. Catch up on the key findings.

Jacobs releases new thought leadership paper that asks the question: What if city stakeholders used a programmatic approach, looking beyond traditional project and asset boundaries, to co-develop solutions that reduce carbon AND address the most urgent and aspirational needs of the community?
