The energy transition is forcing many sectors, particularly the EV industry, to embrace the circular economy. The West is turning to recycling to shore up supply of critical minerals, driving a fresh wave of innovation.

Researchers have extracted cellulose strands from cow manure and turned them into manufacturing-grade cellulose for use in everyday items such as surgical masks and food packaging.

Ask any business leader what the circular economy is, and you’ll probably get a well-informed response. But from a practical standpoint, most circular endeavours today remain controlled experiments rather than full-scale transformations.

The UK’s net zero economy has grown 10% in the past year alone, providing an £83.1bn uplift to the economy, analysis has revealed.

Engineering and technology are evolving at an unprecedented pace. From digital transformation and cybersecurity to sustainability, energy systems and AI, today’s engineers are expected to deliver innovation while navigating increasingly complex standards, regulations and best practice.

HS2 has achieved a ‘UK first’ after successfully sliding a 4,600-tonne viaduct across the M6 over a single weekend while keeping the motorway open to traffic.

National Grid has completed the latest stage of its London Power Tunnels 2 project, bringing the third high-voltage underground circuit online and further increasing the capital’s electricity capacity.

National Highways is to increase the number of wildlife-friendly bridges within the next two years.

A South African project is making rhino horns traceably radioactive to deter poaching before it starts.

The Rhisotope Project, a South African-based conservation initiative, is harnessing nuclear technology by inserting radioisotopes into live rhino horns. These detectable horn markers can then easily be picked up by existing nuclear security infrastructure at border posts across the world.

Researchers at Notre Dame University are testing a robotic sea turtle that could one day be used to guide turtle hatchlings to the ocean.

Smarter, faster, and cheaper – drones are helping conservationists to map, track and sample hard-to-access species like migrating whales and denning polar bears without disturbing the animals.

Most modern buildings are not designed to cope with increasingly harsh environments brought about by changing climate, a researcher at Heriot-Watt University has said.

The upcoming Sizewell C nuclear power plant is being partly constructed by concrete originally used in Sizewell A in an effort to lower the project’s carbon emissions.

An estimated 98% of homes that had external wall insulation installed under the UK government’s Energy Company Obligation scheme require work to correct major issues that will cause problems such as damp and mould, a report has found.

HS2 has moved a 112m long, 1,631 tonne steel bridge into place over Lawley Middleway in Birmingham after constructing the whole structure on a separate, nearby site.

Three wind turbines have been installed alongside the East Coast Main Line to capture energy from passing trains.

Israeli-based tech start-up Celleste Bio has unveiled a milk chocolate bar made using real cocoa butter grown in a bioreactor.

Depleted oil fields could be used to contain liquid hydrogen as much of the infrastructure already in place can be repurposed, researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have said.

The UK nuclear sector risks falling behind unless sustainability becomes central to investment, delivery and public trust, according to a report by the Next Generation Nuclear Industry Council.

Higher load factors and less premium-class seating could make air travel far more efficient, according to a University of Oxford study.

A Scottish distillery is assessing the viability of offering its whisky in lightweight, recyclable aluminium packaging instead of glass.

The Institution of Structural Engineers has released comprehensive guidance about the design of permanent bamboo structures for the first time.

A mega-complex dedicated to airport maintenance and engineering for Emirates has officially begun construction at Dubai South.

The total cost of HS2 could now top £102.7bn and trains may not start running until 2039 – six years later than the most recent target of 2033, transport secretary Heidi Alexander has admitted.

The government will need to ‘closely’ monitor the finances of the Sizewell C nuclear power station during its construction due to the risky nature of the project, and consumers might not see the financial benefits of the project until 2060.

Climate advisers have published a report outlining actions needed to prepare the UK for climate change.
