Net Zero

Reimagine industry with renewable energy—designing factories that run clean, share resources, and power a sustainable future.

Imagine factories that don’t pollute, but instead run on clean energy and share resources in ways that benefit the environment. Around the world, industries are rethinking how things are made—switching to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and bioenergy, and creating “industrial ecosystems” where the waste from one process becomes the resource for another. It’s about designing smarter, cleaner, and more efficient systems that protect the planet while still producing the things we need.

In this challenge, you’ll explore how renewable energy can transform manufacturing and how industries can be redesigned to work like natural ecosystems. Could a factory run entirely on renewables? How can industries recycle energy and resources between them? What innovations could make manufacturing sustainable at scale? By investigating these ideas, you’ll take on real-world challenges at the intersection of technology, energy, and the environment.
