Technology-led Disruptive Freight Marketplaces – The Future of Logistics Industry

September 18, 2017

The success of Uber and similar on-demand ridesharing services has inspired the creation of technology-enabled freight marketplaces - as a solution to logistics challenges. Although a number of freight marketplaces exist today, the absence of a groundbreaking logistics marketplace similar to Uber or Lyft in the passenger transportation market, calls for further innovation in engaging carriers and attracting shippers.

Zero Ready Framework Ensuring shipping can deliver our zero emissions future

whitePaper | November 10, 2022

Shipping faces a critical challenge. The energy transition is well underway and ocean going zero carbon ships must be in service by 2030. The industry is currently focussed on delivering zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by fuelling with renewably sourced ammonia, hydrogen or methanol. But solutions for widespread deployment are not ready yet and ships built today have expected lifetimes of 20-30 years. So, the industry now thinks in terms of ‘readiness’, the ability to ensure that a vessel can use zero carbon fuel once this becomes feasible, either by building new vessels that have this capability from the day they are built, or by ensuring existing vessels can be easily converted.

Analysis of cost of ownership and the policy support required to enable industrialisation of fuel cell trucks

whitePaper | September 5, 2022

Green hydrogen, made from renewable electricity, can be used as part of a sustainable energy system to provide grid balancing services and to decarbonise a wide range of 'hard to reach' end uses. Once such end-use is the long-haul, heavy-duty trucking sector, where hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are able to provide the long range and fast refuelling required by end users. The deployment of hydrogen trucking must start now and ramp-up quickly if the ambitious emissions reductions targets of net-zero by 2050 are to be achieved. This will allow the sector to scale-up green hydrogen and truck production volumes, and cost reductions to be realised

Understanding and Meeting Customer Expectations for Hydrogen Trucking

whitePaper | July 26, 2022

A whitepaper setting out the needs of truck end-users and logistics providers as these organisations look to decarbonise operations, focusing on the opportunities and challenges that hydrogen trucking brings. This paper discusses the role of hydrogen in facilitating truck end user decarbonisation targets, as well as supporting logistics companies to maintain operations amidst increasing regulatory pressure to reduce emissions. The paper outlines the needs and expectations of customers in terms of operational and infrastructure requirements, cost, and policy intervention to enable a transition to zero-emission heavy-duty trucking across Europe.

Shipping’s Role in the Global Energy Transition

whitePaper | November 5, 2022

It is imperative that nations keep global heating below 1.5˚C – in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. Even at 1˚C of warming, climate impacts on humanity and nature are already extensive and growing. The risk of passing multiple climate tipping points increases rapidly between 1.5˚ and 2˚C. To meet the Paris goals, major and unprecedented levels of carbon dioxide emissions reductions are needed this decade, on a pathway to zero emissions around 2050. The timescales are extremely urgent. Delay is not an option.

Resilient Biomanufacturing:Operations and Supply Chain

whitePaper | March 31, 2022

To rapidly scale their manufacturing, our clients need the ability to investigate issues and model the effects of process changes. Foundry integrates data and logic from every stage & every team, from input materials to reactor conditions, and creates a digital twin of the entire development and manufacturing process. This foundation opens the door to virtual experimentation — our clients can use scenario analyses to plan vendor changes, optimize bioreactor yield, and compare quality metrics through time. The net result is a dramatic increase in process development velocity to achieve more consistent yields and efficient ramp-up of new therapies.
