Sustainable infrastructure and resources

Smart infrastructure and efficient use of resources will play an integral part in the transformation to a low carbon economy, reducing the need for expensive infrastructure investment, and improving energy security. Smart and integrated ICT and energy infrastructure,continuous loop processes for resource use and re-use, and local production and upcycling are critical for both carbon savings and job creation. The smart grids market is expected to reach a value of £27 billion globally in the five years between 2009 and 2014 while the waste management sector in the UK alone has annual worth of £4.8 billion.
