About the session
This fireside chat brings Rodrigo Fernandes, Director of ES(D)G — Empowering Sustainable Development Goals at Bentley Systems, to explore the transformative role of digital technologies, AI, and digital twins in driving sustainable practices in infrastructure. This session is for industry professionals who want to learn about how digital tools can enhance environmental sustainability and achieve significant reductions in carbon footprints across their infrastructure projects. The session will explore new and existing digital tools and technologies, including digital twins and AI. These tools can help infrastructure professionals access the most mature and cheapest emission reduction levers such as circularity, efficiency, and existing renewable power technologies. Digital tools also play a critical role in helping infrastructure professionals define the long-term strategies and disruptive approaches that will shape the future, by enabling them to de-risk and hyper-scale the delivery of large and / or complex green capital projects such as fusion energy and low-carbon hydrogen.
Who should attend this session?
This session is for infrastructure engineers, designers, builders, operators, construction managers and project leads, as well as ESG strategists.
What key questions will the session cover?
-
What are the primary challenges or barriers today for the organizations trying to address the decarbonization of infrastructure – particularly in large or complex infrastructure projects?
-
How do digital tools and partnerships, like that between Bentley Systems and One Click LCA, empower companies to reduce carbon emissions and achieve sustainability goals?
-
How do you envision the role of technology, including AI and digital twins, in driving sustainable project execution and supporting infrastructure decarbonization over the next decade?
