Working in one of the most remote and challenging environments on Earth, BAS is faced with more challenges than most when it comes to decarbonising its operations. Existing technology can get the organisation 70% of the way, but new innovation will be essential to achieve the last mile.
The Challenge
Enter as a team, or apply as an individual to join a team, to take on one of the following challenges:
How to radically reduce energy use
How to sensitively use renewable energy in a delicate environment, dealing with intermittency and seasonal variation in energy production
How to provide year-round back up energy without costing the earth
Why join?
Bring your solution to a new potential buyer (BAS)
Join an innovation community determined to tackle one of the world’s most pressing problems
Winners will benefit from publicity generated by CISL and Cambridge Zero
Who should apply?
This two day online hackathon is open to any innovators willing to think creatively to achieve net zero for the benefit of the global ‘race to zero’. Whatever your background – from tech to energy or engineering – and from students to professionals, all innovative minds are welcome.
When is it happening?
Friday 26 November (08:20 - 17:30 GMT) and Friday 3 December (08:30 - 16:30 GMT). There will also be a pre hack introduction and networking session on Thursday 25 November (17:00 - 19:00 GMT).
