Industries come together to address industrial scale decarbonisation challenges
Mark Allan, Green Metals Research Leader, joined speakers at the NetZero Live 2024 Conference yesterday which brought together thought leaders, policymakers, industry experts, and innovators to exchange ideas on cutting-edge solutions for reducing the carbon footprint and achieving a NetZero future.
At the conference Mark, who leads the Green Steel Centre at the Institute spoke about disruption and transition in the steel sector as it continues to develop opportunities to integrate new technologies and new production processes to reduce carbon emissions on the journey to Net Zero.
Mark commented: “It was great to take part and have a chance to talk about the huge changes in steelmaking in the context of what everyone else is also doing to decarbonise. It touches all the same themes like AI, materials and process efficiency, human skills, policy, project delivery, electrification, hydrogen, carbon capture – and on the same conference session as the Peak District cement producers sharing their ambitious joint CO₂ pipeline plans, I could also talk about the future link between steel and cement recycling in green electric arc furnaces."
Bob James, Technical Collaboration Lead at the Institute, also attended the conference adding: “Reducing CO₂ emissions is a widescale industrial priority. This NetZero conferenced was a great event that brought together a whole host of very focused and likeminded individuals and companies pulling together and collaborating to address the hugely significantly important issue of industrial scale decarbonisation, and how to deliver this effectively, in terms of cost, disruption and timescale challenges."
