Reseña del libro "Zero Emission Technologies. Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Materials for UK Railway (en Inglés)"

Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 2,1, Free University of Berlin (Loughborough University), course: Construction Project Management, language: English, abstract: The information collected in this thesis provides an awareness to the reader of the significance of carbon emissions generated by infrastructure developments in the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) stages and more specifically with focus on HS2, the largest ever railway project to go ahead in the UK. The research supports ways of achieving a carbon friendly railway infrastructure moving into the future by finding solutions in capital and operational carbon reduction to heavily reduce the UK's carbon footprint. The details of this, include research sources in material processing alternatives, recycling or reuse of materials, renewable energy sources and cultural challenges. Research has provided evidence that a cost saving is linked to reducing operational carbon emissions adding an additional incentive to focusing on improving the environment. A carbon maturity matrix shows a level of focus, which organisations should review and adhere to in the future. Many of the recommendations in the study are based around the changing of political and cultural ways to achieve the changes required and bring in new innovative ways of thinking to start the process of becoming Eco-Friendly within Infrastructure.
