Scholars
Details Transition Engineering has emerged out of research into energy engineering, but in challenging and complex relationships with society, policy, transport, buildings, economics and un-sustainability. Some very special people have taken years out of their lives to boldly go where no-one has gone before, and to push their creativity to the absolute limits by taking on the truly heretical question of how do we engineer the future that society wants rather than the one we are heading for.Link www.aemslab.org.nz/
The Problem is Un-Sustainability
Details Specify the project requirements.How do you define sustainability? Transition Engineering involves a shift of perspective from adding more sustainable options to shifting unsustainable energy and material production.
Christchurch, New Zealand - Critical Peak Demand
Details The critical peak demand in Christchurch is in the winter evenings and mornings. The winter air pollution greatly exceeds health standards due to wood burning in about 10% of households. The peak loads are predominantly residential. More than 40% of housing stock has no insulation. Aside from wood, household end-uses are almost exclusively electric. Electricity prices have been rising substantially. There are several scenarios that could improve security and help to manage costs, but there are also some surprising shift projects that have come out of considering this wicked problem.
Green Conferences
Details 21 November will be a Co-Design Workshop to develop the combined venue, no-fly format for a transition engineering InTIME Workshop.This is essentially a crash course learning by doing.
Carbon Capture (CCS)

Materials and Products Transition
Details An unsustainable trend will not continue.Materials and products have commercial value, convenience and retail benefits, and unsustainable lifecycles.
Electric Vehicle Policy
Details Government policies that "support", "encourage" or "incentivize" people to purchase an EV are not the most efficient approach for transition to sustainable transportation.
Energy Transition
Details The future will not be like the past.Unsustainable systems often present wicked problems. Transition Engineering creates surprising opportunities and innovative perspectives by taking on wicked problems.

The Movement
Details GATE is dedicated to supporting the growing of movement within all of the engineering fields to undergo a transformation of purpose and perspective. We use the Transition Engineering approach and the InTIME Methodology, and we are developing new strategic analysis tools all the time through our research and by just getting on with projects.The shorthand for this movement is The BigDO.
