The built environment is the agglomeration of man-made spaces – their structures, parts, and components. These structures provide us our work, recreation, and living spaces, and we can expect global building stock to double by 2050. On the other hand, the built environment is responsible for 40% of global emissions. As we seek to create safe and hospitable places for our growing global population, we must equally reduce their negative impact on the environment.

The global energy mix is expected to go through critical changes over the coming decades. On the one hand, energy consumption is expected to increase by 14% through to 2050 requiring new energy infrastructure, whilst on the other, more established energy systems will see dramatic changes to make them more secure and lower carbon emissions. In this article we discuss three plays that can highlight the opportunities and challenges to scaling P2X deployment.
