The document discusses environmental issues facing the aerospace and defense industry by 2030. It notes that while aviation only contributes around 2% of global CO2 emissions, public concern over climate change is growing. The industry has committed to carbon-neutral growth from 2020 onward and reducing emissions 50% by 2050 compared to 2005 levels. The summary discusses four strategic pillars to address these challenges: 1) alternative fuels and fuel efficiency, 2) incremental technological advances, 3) infrastructure improvements, and 4) operational and economic measures. The industry must decouple market growth from emissions to achieve sustainability.
This document provides a summary of the Airbus Global Market Forecast covering the period from 2009 to 2028. Some key points:
1) Global passenger traffic is expected to increase by 4.7% annually over the period, with over 24,000 new passenger and freighter aircraft demanded.
2) Emerging markets will continue to see strong growth in air travel, while network carriers and low-cost carriers both benefit from new demand. Mega-cities and congestion will influence aviation development.
3) Technological innovation, particularly in alternative fuels, will be critical to developing a sustainable future for aviation. Over 14,000 existing aircraft will need to be replaced by more efficient models to reduce aviation's
This document provides a market analysis of the liquefied gas industry through 2030. It discusses the growth of the LPG and LNG fleets from 1996 to 2013. It also examines the four markets that comprise the seaborne gas trade: the freight market, sale and purchase market, new building market, and demolition market. The document concludes that gas is a clean fuel with high future demand potential, and there are abundant reserves that can meet demand through 2030 using both conventional and unconventional extraction methods.
The document discusses several factors that affect industrial location, including transportation, energy, markets, raw materials, government policy, site needs, labor, and capital. It then provides case studies of industries in different locations to illustrate how the importance of these factors has changed over time. The case studies include steel manufacturing on Teesside in the UK, footloose industries along the M4 motorway in the UK, heavy industries in the Rhine-Ruhr region of Germany, and industries in less economically developed countries.
The document discusses the future demand for aircraft over the period of 2009-2028. It predicts that:

There is no doubt that human activity on Earth cause changes in the environment in which we live. Many of these environmental impacts are from the generation, handling and use of energy. The main reason for the existence of environmental impacts from the generation, handling and use of energy lies in the fact that the world consumption of primary energy from non-renewable sources (oil, coal, natural and nuclear gas) accounts for approximately 88% of full, leaving only 12% renewable sources. This heavy dependence on non-renewable energy sources has led, in addition to ongoing concern about the possibility of depletion of these sources, the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, which in 2013 was of 36.3 billion tonnes, approximately 3.9 times the amount issued in 1960 (9.3 billion tons). Regardless of the various solutions that may be adopted to eliminate or mitigate the causes of the greenhouse effect, the most important is undoubtedly the adoption of measures to contribute to the elimination or reduction of the consumption of fossil fuels in energy production, as well as its use more efficient in transport, industry, agriculture and urban areas (residential and commercial), given that the use and production of energy account for 57% of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity. In this sense, the implementation of a sustainable energy system is essential.
This document summarizes a newsletter that discusses opportunities in climate and development agendas. It includes several articles on expanding African trade in the face of climate change, investing in climate and development action, and evaluating sustainable development and the environment in trade agreements. One article discusses how Africa could use ecosystem-based adaptation to generate ecosystem goods and services to make production and trade more climate resilient. Specific adaptation strategies and smart trade policies could help African economies ensure climate-proof development.
The latest ‘World in 2030’ foresight from Future Agenda looks at how electric planes may be the answer to faster decarbonisation of aviation.
As the pressure to clean aviation builds, using electric planes for short and medium-haul flights gathers support. Although some technological challenges are significant, investment and regulation align to accelerate development.
A growth in the use of electric planes has the potential to significantly cut aviation emissions, reduce noise and also potentially provide cheaper travel. At a time when, globally, we are flying more, there is a tangible opportunity to accelerate new technology development to electrify aviation. While some governments and cities plan for more airports to accommodate and stimulate more flying, public pushback against higher emissions builds with little interest in temporary solutions such as more carbon offsetting. As a result, the case for truly clean aviation gains wider support and brings together deeper collaborations across research, manufacturers, airlines, cities and travellers.
Drawn from multiple expert discussions around the world, this foresight is one of 50 looking at the key issues for the next decade that are being shared throughout 2020.

The document discusses the future of global energy and outlines some key uncertainties and challenges. It notes that demand for energy will double over the century while production of oil and gas cannot keep pace. This will make the era of cheap energy come to an end. Alternative energy sources like renewables will need to ramp up significantly to close the gap between supply and demand. Major investments and cooperation will be required globally to transition the energy system in a sustainable way and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to avoid climate change impacts.
The airline industry challenges and innovationMarkets Beyond
The airline industry faces significant challenges from high fuel costs and environmental regulations. Kerosene accounts for over 30% of airline operating costs, making profitability difficult. Researchers are working on innovations like electric taxiing systems and improved battery technologies to reduce the industry's reliance on kerosene and lower costs. A transition to electricity could save airlines $35 billion per year and make the industry consistently profitable.
Offshore wind sector is progressing to become the fastest growing cleantech technology globally in recent years. While Europe has been the leading within off-shore wind development, China is expected to lead the way in the future within this domain. By 2020, based on the announced targets, China alone is expected to account for almost 40% of the global offshore wind capacity target of about 70 GW by 2020, more than double that of the United Kingdom.
Chinese offshore sector aims to be the next growth centre of the industry. It has been estimated that China has a total potential of developing about 750 GW of offshore wind, of which 200 GW is in water depths between 5-25 metres. On the other hand, issues such as defining a process for consenting, approval and governance in general combined with an immature supply chain pose risks for potential returns.
With comprehensive dedication, China aims to meet its targets and offer paths to future growth for the domestic players. Also, it has been observed that the Chinese government is sensitised to the bottlenecks that exist in the off- shore wind industry and has proactively displayed a positive intent to correct procedural delays and moderate tariffs.
This report presents detailed overview of the Chinese offshore wind industry and high-level assessment of the maturity level of the different categories in the value chain. For global leaders, this report will contribute to current or upcoming strategic considerations in an emerging global offshore wind industry.
The Soaring Success of Air Freight Industry During Pandemic & Ahead rtscorp1
The Air Freight sector has seen an impressive growth in the last two years. It was surprising to register that the sector generated revenue for airlines even during the pandemic. The revenue soared to an unexpected level. Technology certainly played a pivotal role in the process.
The air cargo market and air-cargo revenue management have never looked this better. The sector is expected to grow 7.9% in 2022. The demand is going to be more than ever, according to the International Air Transport Association(IATA). The growth of the air freight industry was not always this impressive. It has seen its fair share of phases.
IHS Markit - Maritime Trade - Making headwayradhikaburman
The document discusses several trends impacting the global maritime industry over the next decade:
1. The crisis facing the South Korean shipbuilding industry due to overcapacity and lack of new orders, which is leading to workforce reductions and consolidation. This will impact global ship supply and pricing.
2. The impact of increasing digital technology on ship operations and seafarers, with debates around automation reducing crew sizes versus maintaining traditional ship roles.
3. Rising trade barriers such as Brexit and protectionist measures, threatening the free flow of global trade that shipping relies upon. Increased political interference could distort shipping markets.
Liquid air technologies have gained recognition in 2013 as a potentially significant energy solution in the UK. It can help address challenges in electricity grid balancing, transport emissions reductions, and waste heat recovery. While liquid air shows promise, successful widespread adoption is not guaranteed and further work is needed to ensure it progresses past the demonstration phase. This includes developing technology roadmaps, exploring global market potential, identifying sources of liquid nitrogen supply, and integrating grid and transport applications through multi-purpose plants.

Ricardo Teamor - 10 Years Of Renewable Energy ProgressRicardo Teamor
10 years of renewable energy progress. Developments in the early 2000s showed upward trends in global
renewable energy investment, capacity, and integration across
all sectors, yet most mainstream projections did not predict the
extraordinary expansion of renewables that was to unfold over
the decade ahead.
Zero-carbon solutions are growing faster than expected since the Paris Agreement. Low-carbon technologies are now competitive in sectors representing 25% of global emissions, and could be competitive in sectors representing 70% of emissions by 2030. Countries, cities, and companies representing over 50% of global GDP have adopted net-zero targets. Progress in sectors like electric vehicles, renewable power, and alternative proteins has been faster than anticipated, setting the stage for a global transition to a zero-carbon economy over the coming decade if conditions remain supportive of low-carbon investment and innovation.

Will the Shipbuilding Industry Flourish Again?
The shipbuilding industry will be recovered in the long term backed by global economic growth and highly influenced by environmental issues and technological advances. Under strict environmental regulations, demand for eco-friendly ships will rise. Ships will be required to use low-sulfur fuel oil. A wide range of technologies will bring about differentiated and innovative types of ships. Under the influence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, remotely controlled or fully autonomous ships will become available in the future. Emerging technology will not only change ships, but also shipyards and the shipping and port industries. The changing steel industry will result in qualitative changes of steel products. As vessels become larger and lighter, the steel intensity of ship’s tonnage will fall continuously, and then decline even further following the rise of electric propulsion, unmanned, and autonomous ships.

The Emergence of Smart Ports and Their Impactful ImplicationsMehdi Rastegary
This document discusses the emergence of smart ports and their implications. It begins by outlining challenges currently facing ports, including ship size growth and increased competition. New technologies like the Internet of Things, big data, and port automation are transforming the ports industry. These technologies can help ports improve productivity, decision making, and develop new services. The concept of a "smart port" is introduced, which relies on an intelligent information infrastructure to optimize operations, environmental impact, and energy consumption through integration of management areas. The document concludes that smart ports represent a new way of thinking that can help ports develop their intellectual capital and structural resources through information technologies.
The document discusses professional ethics in business administration from an Islamic perspective. It argues that while business administration generates value, demands skills, and carries great ethical responsibility, the field has not been properly professionalized due to myths that downplay the need for education and promote the demoralization of business. These myths have contributed to problems like wealth inequality, environmental damage, and the prioritization of profits over morality. The document advocates developing professional ethics standards for business administration to promote credibility and behavioral norms, but notes this may not be sufficient to fully instill morality without broader cultural and societal changes. It concludes by questioning which ethical school or framework should inform such standards.
Iran has a large and diverse economy due to its population size and natural resources.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

MARITIME TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AND
THE 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN
THE THIRD MILLENIUM
the progress towards developing
higher levels of artificial intelligence
in these smart items enables them
to interact and learn. We are devel-
oping big data as a new resource
for economic value production. We
are achieving renewable, clean and
nearly free energy supplies that will
replace the fossil fuels throughout
the world in a short time. Also our
achievements in genetics and bio-
technology are transforming the
concepts of health, life expectancy,
food and energy supply and many
more. Many scientists and tech-
nologists believe that the develop-
ments of human societies in the
coming two decades will be much
further than all developments
which have taken place through the
past 300 years.
This is happening in a context where
humankind is also challenged by
several other issues in the begin-
ning of the third millennium. We
are on the verge of experiencing the
extreme consequences of climate
The 4th
industrial revolution is an
emerging transformative paradigm
that will change the entirety of
human life on planet Earth in the
coming years. This basic paradigm
shift is induced by the rapid pace of
evolutions in a number of science
and technology fields including ICT,
genetics and biotechnology, mate-
rial science and nanotechnology,
energy supply and consumption
and many others. We have entered
into a new era: we can render near-
ly everything into smart items, and

A R T I C L E4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
4. December 2019 31
change in the coming years. The
human population has explosively
grown within the past century and
this has exacerbated the imbal-
anced development of human soci-
eties on the planet, and led to es-
calate conflicts over vital resources.
Pollution and excessive use of natu-
ral resources have damaged to the
environment. Sustaining the life of
the human population by the cur-
rent means will be impossible soon.
Some believe that the 4th
industrial
revolution as well as the multitudes
of solutions developed and offered
within this new paradigm, can be
used to address these challenges
effectively.
Maritime transport will be un-
doubtedly impacted by both the
4th
industrial revolution and the
crushing forces of the third mil-
lennium challenges. As the main
vessel of international trade, mar-
itime transport is an underpinning
component in the global econo-
my system. As once said by E. Mi-
tropoulos, if shipping stops, half of
the world will starve in hunger and
the other half will freeze in gloom.
In this sense, the world demands
effective, cost-efficient, and clean
services from the shipping industry
in order to tackle the third millen-
nium challenges. But in this con-
text, the shipping industry is also
involved in its own set of challeng-
es. For years, the industry has been
involved in the trough-side of an
estimated 25-year cycle in its reve-
nue making. Due to the size of the
global fleet, the industry’s supply
is much further than the market’s
demand. Moreover, the industry is
encountering a new series of envi-
ronmental requirements that incur
very heavy costs and generate op-
erational and technical constraints
in it. Among these requirements,
one can point to ballast water man-
agement, the global sulphur cap,
the coming greenhouse gas control
requirements, and so on. In this
sense, we can say that in the advent
of the 4th
industrial revolution and
in the upfront of encountering the
global challenges of the 3rd
millen-
nium, the shipping industry is itself
in an uneasy state.
The 4th
industrial revolution can
have critical effects on the global
maritime transport system
The patterns and amount of de-
mand for shipping may be impacted
dramatically by the surging rise of
new trends like 3D printing. Hav-
ing the blueprint for manufacturing
nearly everything with 3D printers
will lead to a serious fall on the
trade of finished and semi-finished
goods throughout the world, and
a rise in the demand for the trade
of raw materials instead. This can
have determining effects on the
container and bulk shipping seg-
ments. Moreover, other segments
of shipping will be affected by the
changes in the energy sector. Cur-
rently, about 87% of produced oil
is processed and consumed as fuel
products. Crude oil, petroleum
products and other main fossil fuels
(including coal, LNG, and LPG) con-
stituted 40.5% of total international
maritime trade in 2018.
By widespread use of new energy
supplies in the coming years (e.g. in
cars, power plants, lighting industry,
etc.), the demand for fossil fuels is
expected to decline sharply and this
can lead to a fall in the demand of
the tanker and dry bulk segments.
Another major trend that can alter
the supply and demand in the ship-
ping market is the development
of competing modes of transport.
This includes the development of
rail transport networks, and more
markedly the development of in-
ternational Hyperloop grids in dif-
ferent regions of the world. This
can erode the demand for mer-
chant shipping especially by making
land-bridges between countries in
Asia and Europe. The level of de-
crease in demand will depend on
the level of grid development and
its effectiveness.
But on the other side, the 4th
indus-
trial revolution can also provide the
maritime transport systems with
major technological advantages to
tackle the issues ahead. In order to
sustain itself in the outburst of radi-
cal changes, the maritime transport
systems are most in need of innova-
tion, and mainly discontinuous in-
novation. We shall notice that after
‘containerization’ in 1960s, there
has been no marked discontinuous
innovation in the shipping industry,
Maritime transport will be undoubtedly impacted by
both the 4th industrial revolution and the crushing
forces of the third millennium challenges
5. Marine Innovation (Payam Darya) VOL. 1432
and the improvements have been
pursued by continuous innovations
specifically in terms of developing
more economy of scale and lower-
ing the fuel costs. These innovation
trendshaveprovedtoreachtheirut-
most limits in recent years, and the
industry needs breakthrough inno-
vations to alter the architecture of
its markets and its components (i.e.
the competitive structure, the cor-
porate capabilities, the production
platforms, and the products of the
industry). The 4th
industrial revolu-
tion can provide the industry with
significant opportunities in terms of
technological improvements.
One major impediment to join to
the mainstream of 4th
industrial rev-
olution is the commercial value and
economic life of assets in the indus-
try level. In 2019, the age of 79.25%
of the capacity of the world shipping
fleet was under 14 years, and this
reveals that ship-owners concern
any major changes that may incur
enormous costs and/or postpone
the utilization of the fleet. The oth-
er major obstacle will come from
the labor force who will consider
the technological developments
of the 4th
industrial revolution as a
serious risk to their employment.
This idea will be strengthened with-
in the coming years and by actual
deployment of new technologies
in the maritime transport system.
Although for some years, the ma-
chines will depend on human work-
force to overcome their teething
problems, soon a day will come that
these systems can operate autono-
mously and with the least possible
need to manning. In such days, the
social resistance buildup among the
labor force will be much stronger as
they will have a clearer understand-
ing of the new technologies and its
impact on their work system.
In spite of all possible resistances,
the signs of paradigm shifts indicate
that change is inevitable: the chal-
lenging enforcement of new envi-
ronmental requirements (e.g. the
global sulphur cap, the Ballast Wa-
ter Management Convention, the
emerging ship efficiency require-
ments, etc.), and the irrelevance
between supply and demand, as
well as costs and revenues in ship-
ping markets indicate the need for
instant change. Within the com-
ing years, the conditions will grow
much harder in the maritime trans-
port systems as the volatility, uncer-
tainty, complexity, and ambiguity
(VUCA) conditions will be strength-
ened under the synergies of 4th
in-
dustrial revolution trends and the
3rd
millennium challenges. On one
hand in the coming two or three de-
cades, the 4th
industrial revolution
is moving us toward a horizon of
technological singularity where no
6. December 2019 33
one can perceive the future after-
wards it; and on the other hand the
3rd
millennium challenges provide
a gloomy perspective in which we
can be the last generation to take
the corrective measures to sustain
human life on the planet. These
forthcoming phenomena can have
dramatic positive or negative syner-
gies in terms of consequences like
human’s understanding of ethics,
disruption of supply chains by nat-
ural disasters (or their protection),
transforming patterns of labor and
employment, famine or plenty of
food supplies, pollution issues, and
etc.
It seems that the best choice for
shipping industry is to surf on the
waves of opportunity that are gen-
erated by the 4th
industrial revo-
lution in order to pass over the
3rd
millennium challenges. These
waves can provide the momentum
to learn, innovate, improvise, and
improve solutions in heading to-
wards the vague and complicated
future. Nevertheless, we should
understand that such waves are
temporary, unstable, transitional,
and uncontrollable in their very
nature. This means that you may
invest your time, money and en-
ergy in developing a solution, and
you may find it useless or obsolete
within few years or even months. In
this sense the shipping industry is
in need of major developments and
improvements in its organization
and resources.
Maritime transport systems are
in ample need to learning and in-
novation in the coming years. This
means that the industry should
organize effectively to manage the
knowledge work in the system lev-
el. The needed knowledge work
can be organized in terms of Re-
search and Development (R&D),
Knowledge Management (KM),
Technology Management, Strate-
gic Management, and so on. This
means that the maritime firms
shall plan to invest on developing
gold collar jobs for specialists and
other learning knowledge workers.
Moreover, in order to attract the
needed knowledge work to their
maritime transport systems, many
developed countries are already
developing maritime clusters and
boosting knowledge-based start-
ups in their maritime communities.
These communities are endeavor-
ing to support technological entre-
preneurship within them, as well
as attracting useful technological
entrepreneurship from the exteri-
or. Among them one can point to
Maritime Startup Germany, Pier71
scheme in Singapore, PortXL in Eu-
rope, and New York Maritime In-
novation Center (NYMIC) in United
States.
The Knowledge work in the indus-
try can provide the maritime indus-
try with many needed solutions in
the coming years. The industry may
source ideas, technological solu-
tions, managerial solutions, and in-
novations from the insourced and
outsourced knowledge work. These
ideas, solutions and innovations can
be used to shed some light into the
pitch dark VUCA conditions that the
maritime transport system shall en-
ter into within the coming years. It
is almost certain that those firms
that refuse to ignite and use such
light, no matter how big in size, will
fall and annihilate somewhere in
the nearing future.
