As we shift towards more weather-dependent renewable energy sources, the increased frequency of extreme weather events may have a negative impact on UK energy infrastructure. In this episode, we seek to understand the implications of this extreme weather, and explore the role that geospatial data, and in particular digital twins, play in developing a greener, and more resilient energy infrastructure.

How can we best decarbonise the transport sector, and what role does geospatial data play in this? Can things like digitisation, route optimisation or emissions monitoring impact the nature by which transport providers operate? Join our guest speakers to learn more about the biggest challenges (and opportunities!) that transport networks have, both abroad and in the UK, and how geospatial intelligence can enable the implementation of sustainable practices.
