Sustainability and climate adaptation depend on critical technologies to support more efficient systems, stronger resilience and smarter responses to environmental change. They provide the insight, precision and capability needed to reduce waste, improve resource use and respond more effectively to growing climate pressures, while enabling better monitoring, faster analysis and more informed decision-making.
Electric vehicles
Semiconductors are driving our electric revolution by facilitating the conversion of battery energy to power electric vehicle motors.
Environmental monitoring
Photonics technologies enable accurate monitoring of air and water quality by identifying trace levels of pollutants and greenhouse gases.
Agriculture
Vertical farming is securing our future food supply by creating regulated, indoor environments that allow optimised food production in any location.
Renewable energy
Advanced semiconductor materials manage the flow of electricity from renewable sources to the grid, allowing seamless integration of multiple energy sources.
Recycling
Optical sorting uses lasers and camera systems to identify the structural and chemical properties of materials to allow more efficient recycling of plastics.
