Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are zero emission and run on compressed hydrogen fed into a fuel cell "stack" that produces electricity to power the vehicle. A fuel cell can be used in combination with an electric motor to drive a vehicle – quietly, powerfully and cleanly.

On Wednesday, February 3rd, Antea Group Senior Consultant Nick Martin facilitated a webinar on "Water Stewardship 101" in partnership with CDP. The presentation provides a practical overview of the basics of water stewardship and some of the tools and strategies successful organizations are implementing, and is the culmination of Antea Group's experience serving global clients.

Australia And Singapore - How are they dealing with water problems?Soma Bhadra
Presentation at the Council of Water Managers Dinner Meeting on October 19th, 2010.
Over the last couple years, I have been fortunate to be living in Australia while designing and building one of the largest recycled water plants in the world. During my stay in Australia, I was also managing a design team out of Singapore which required me to make frequent trips to Singapore. Thus I was able to observe the water management policies and programs in these two countries. By bringing these ideas to you, my aim is to promote a healthy discussion on opportunities here in San Diego County.
Environmental Product Stewardship in Emerging and Transitioning MarketsAntea Group
Product Stewardship is an environmental management strategy that means whoever designs, produces, sells, or uses a product takes responsibility for minimizing the product's environmental impact throughout all stages of the products' life cycle, including end of life management. The greatest responsibility lies with whoever has the most ability to affect the full life cycle environmental impacts of the product. This is most often the producer of the product, though all within the product chain of commerce have roles. This presentation covers EPS drivers and regulations, then takes a deeper look at what this looks like in emerging and transitioning economies in countries like India, South Africa, Indonesia, Singapore, China, Mexico, Peru, and Brazil.
Thriving in the Circular Economy: Product Design and Business Practices for “...Antea Group
With current and upcoming resource constraints, plus society's growing disapproval of "disposable" products, it's time to design and offer products to leverage existing resources and keep them in the economy after use. This webinar will walk participants along the path from the make-and-waste Linear Economy to the use-and-reuse Circular Economy.
The Circular Economy sounds good financially and environmentally, but how does one actually transform an industry from the Linear to the Circular Economy? This presentation (given by Pamela Gordon as part of the NAEM 2017 webinar series) will provide specific ways of implementing Circular Economy design and business practices at manufacturing companies, with examples from the tech industry that will inspire all industries.
These slides present results from The Boston Consulting Group’s 2015 Big Data and Trust Consumer Survey of more than 8,000 consumers in the US and the top five European economies (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) and the results of BCG’s 2015 Big Data and Trust Company Survey of the data stewardship practices of 140 companies in eight industries.
Women Matter 2012: Making the breakthrough, examines the gender-diversity programs of 235 large European companies. The report investigates what initiatives companies are taking, what is working well or less well, and why.
The research found that most companies are now taking gender diversity issues extremely seriously, devoting real resources to redressing the gender imbalance. But many companies also expressed frustration that their efforts do not always create the expected impact.
The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.
This presentation gives an overview on how our current unsustainable energy supply systems can be transformed to sustainable energy systems? There is a special focus on the challenges for developing countries. The findings are based on the book from Peter Hennicke & Susanne Bodach "Energierevolution - Effizienzsteigerung und erneuerbare Energien als neue globale Herausforderungen" (Oekon Verlag 2010).

WBCSD Access to Energy Initiative - Summary presentationfveglio
Addressing the lack of access to clean, reliable and affordable energy services for billions of people is one of the world’s most critical development challenges and is becoming increasing prominent on the international agenda. The WBCSD Access to Energy Initiative helps business and other key stakeholders understand how the business contribution to access to energy can be maximized. The Initiative is co-chaired by GDF SUEZ, Schneider Electric and ERM, and has 21 member companies actively engaged in its core group. The Initiative focuses on the key opportunity areas to scaling the business contribution: innovative business models, enabling policy frameworks and financing mechanisms. Collaboration and partnerships are key cross-cutting enablers.
CCS: Role in Global Emission Reductions, a presentation delivered by Bo Diczfalusy, Director of Sustainable Energy Policy and Technology at the International Energy Agency (IEA), on a Tuesday Dec 6 COP 17 Institute side event. The presentation reviews the IEA’s work in CCS. It also talks about global energy demand, which is expected to double in the next 40 years. Since 2005, non OECD countries are emitting more than OECD countries. More than 30 per cent of global incremental demand is from China alone.
