Micron's 150$ Billion Investment

Micron Technology has announced an ambitious investment exceeding $150 billion globally over the next decade, aiming to significantly expand its memory manufacturing and research and development capabilities. This strategic initiative addresses the surging demand for memory, essential for computing across various applications, including 5G, artificial intelligence, automotive, and consumer devices. This investment reflects Micron’s commitment to advancing semiconductor technology and securing a resilient supply chain amidst the global chip shortage.

The plan involves engaging governments worldwide to explore expansion opportunities, including introducing extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment in significant production hubs. This technology is pivotal for developing next-generation semiconductor devices. Micron’s initiative is set against a global push for greater semiconductor self-sufficiency, highlighted by the recent chip shortages impacting industries worldwide.

Our consultancy has been instrumental in assisting one of the leading partners involved in the fabrication process enhancements. By offering expertise in advanced manufacturing techniques and efficiency optimisation, we helped streamline operations, ensuring that Micron’s investment translates into tangible improvements in memory production capabilities, thereby contributing to the overarching goal of bolstering global semiconductor supply resilience and innovation.

BP's Net Zero Strategy

BP has set a bold ambition to become a net zero company by 2050 or sooner, addressing both its operational emissions and those associated with the carbon in the oil and gas it produces. This initiative is crucial for aligning with global climate goals and transforming the energy system. To achieve this, BP plans to halve the carbon intensity of the products it sells by 2050, install methane measurements at its processing sites by 2023, and significantly increase its investment in low-carbon technologies. These steps underscore BP’s commitment to a sustainable energy future and its role in transforming the energy sector towards more environmentally friendly practices​.

Our consultancy had the privilege of assisting one of BP’s subcontractors, integral to the offshore wind projects. We provided strategic advice on project management and operational efficiency, enabling them to overcome technical challenges and enhance their contribution to this significant net-zero-ambition. This collaboration underscores the importance of expertise and innovation in supporting the energy transition.
