The 28th issue of Dar Magazine threads storylines of how Sidara, Penspen’s parent company, brands are experimenting with data-driven design and artificial intelligence, designing a new generation of buildings’ and infrastructure, creatively repurposing existing facilities, reinvigorating landscapes and ecosystems, and rehabilitating infrastructure to create new value for communities.
In this issue, Penspen’s feature includes Bilal Hassan and Nigel Curson, who explore the future of carbon management beyond just capture. With over 430 million tonnes of CO₂ capture projects expected by 2030, the big question remains: how do we utilise this CO₂ sustainably?
Our technical experts discuss innovative pathways for transforming CO₂ into green fuels, such as e-methanol and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and weigh in on the necessity of financial incentives or carbon penalties to ensure these solutions can compete with conventional fuels.
