A MORE SUSTAINABLE WORLD

Growing things

Feeding over 8 billion people is the greatest accomplishment of our species. But it comes at the cost of 9.7 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases. How can Simcenter be used to engineer a low-carbon future to feed the planet in a sustainable way?

Engineering the low-carbon hamburger of the future

If you ate just a single hamburger a day for a whole year, the meat alone would amount to about a tonne of greenhouse gas emissions, which is about 20% of what be allowed for a "5 tonne sustainable lifestyle".

The carbon cost of food production

87% of the greenhouse gas emissions from the burger comes from the beef. Find out how simulation is helping to design the cruelty-free, low-carbon, lab-grown burger of the future.
