The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Celebrating this holiday season, Rosh D'Arcy from our Earth Rescue series shares his holiday wishes for a sustainable future. From harvesting wind power from X1 to hydrogen deployment at Baker Hughes and energy pioneers like Quaise Energy and Amber Kinetics, these innovators give the gift of sustainability to our Earth.
Special Stops Along The Way
As Santa makes his annual round of gift giving, he stops by some important Earth Rescue innovators who are using simulation to give us all the gift of sustainability.
BARCELONA, CATALONIA, SPAIN
X1 Wind
Gift
A disruptive floating wind system to change the paradigm of the wind energy industry.
“It’s important to have the right simulation tools so that you can do all the optimization that you need to do, and Ansys checks all the boxes.”
- Carlos Casanovas, co-founder and CTO of X1 Wind
FLORENCE, TUSCANY, ITALY
Baker Hughes
Gift
Accelerating hydrogen deployment as an alternative source of energy.
“The simulation and then the testing here in the laboratory allows us really to bring technology into the market at a faster rate.”
- Rod Christie, EVP, Turbomachinery and Process Solutions, Baker Hughes
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA,CANADA
General Fusion
Gift
Emission-free fusion power
“There is no doubt that numerical simulation plays a very big role behind the development and progress of fusion energy.”
- Jean-Sébastien Dick, CFD scientist, General Fusion
CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, USA
Quaise Energy
Gift
Simulating a new type of energy drilling system bring inexhaustible, renewable, and clean power of deep geothermal energy to future generations.
“It’s important to have the right simulation tools so that you can do all the optimization that you need to do, and Ansys checks all the boxes.”
- Carlos Araque, CEO and co-founder of Quaise Energy
UNION CITY, CALIFORNIA, USA
Amber Kinetics
Gift
Flywheel technology that bridges the gap between traditional energy generation, renewables, and battery-based energy storage systems.
“Ansys simulations give us a lot of insight into potential issues in the design and we can catch those things early on, before we even have to cut any metal to do testing.”
- Kyle Gaiser, a mechanical engineer with Amber Kinetics
