Designing Renewable Energy to Last
June 14, 2019
The energy system of the future will be 100% powered by renewables, and this may happen sooner than we think if we can line up the right incentives. But, while this is the right goal to aim for, in itself it is not enough. Our renewable technology needs to be designed for repair, reuse and multiple cycles. Join in the conversation with our studio guests to hear about the opportunities and risks involved in the transition to renewables. Also in this broadcast, we'll speak to a leading circular designer in China: Professor Lou Yongqi of Tongji University. Don't miss this conversation about how a new kind of design could reshape one of the world's largest economies.
