The steam engine was the first of multiple technologies that converted heat into motion, delivering modern shipping, rail transportation, motor vehicles and finally aircraft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The growth potential of these technologies appeared unlimited, but in the last few decades, the environmental consequences of fossil fuel combustion have become clear: there is a price to be paid for unlimited use of carbon. But the demand for progress is relentless. Early engineers created the technologies that threaten the environment today, and today&rsquo;s engineers are tasked with finding the solutions. The goal is sustainability, and the race is on to make maximum use of available technologies to transition carbon-based economies to cleaner alternates without serious disruption of modern life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To do this, advanced engineering tools, and new ways of thinking about power, work and energy are needed. Jim Anderton discusses these important issues with Chad Ghalamzan, Marketing Manager at Siemens Digital Industries Software and Stephen Ferguson, director of marketing content for Siemens PLM software.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In the coming decades, we will have to engineer a future free of fossil fuels. This transition is one of the biggest engineering challenges that our planet is facing, and will only be possible through the extensive use of simulation and test. <a href=\"https:\/\/oursustainableworld.com\/\">Learn how Simcenter is helping to engineer a low-carbon future<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New ways of managing the design process will accelerate the move to a clean, efficient economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":44038,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,6,25,39,42,30,48],"tags":[],"display-location":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":{"type":"Sponsored Post","articleid":"24353","projectid":"87638","audiolink":"https:\/\/mobile.engineering.com\/audio\/24353.mp3","primary_category":"Energy","askid":"","orderid":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
