Virtual Twin with Dassault Systemes and Energy Transition in the UK: Hinkley Point and Zero

I attended a gathering of #energytransition leaders hosted by @dassaultsystemes at the historic control room of @BatterseaPowerStation in London to delve into future energy models. It was intriguing to hear firsthand about @edf , the French energy powerhouse, constructing 3.2GW nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point C in Somerset with a budget of £32bn. Additionally, a former Formula One CTO shared insights on creating fossil-free fuel from air and water.

Marc Overton, the Managing Director of Dassault Systemes, Europe's second-largest software company, specializes in virtual twin experiences, offering software solutions for various sectors like mining, infrastructure, and urban planning. Overton highlighted the significance of virtual simulations for fighter jets, nuclear facilities, human anatomy, and energy systems. Dassault Systemes is expediting infrastructure projects by employing virtual twins at EDF's Hinckley Point nuclear plant.

Paddy Lowe, the Founder & CEO of @zeropetroleum and a former @Formula1 engineer with 32 years of experience, emphasized the need for a circular energy system that generates #synthetic fuel from recycled air and water. He foresees the market share of such technology growing from $0.1T to $2.3T by 2050. Lowe believes that everyone can be a leader by leveraging intuition, experience, and taking risks to address challenges.

Michelle Tilley from EDF is leading the construction of Britain's first nuclear power station in three decades at Hinkley Point C in Somerset, aiming to supply 7% of the UK's electricity.

And my experience going up the chimney of the iconic building.
