"Transform-ER" (Transform. Engage. Retrofit) brings together an experienced and diverse consortium to tackle multiple barriers to retrofitting homes. The vast majority of the UK's existing housing stock will still be present by 2050 and therefore must comply with Net Zero 2050 legislative objectives. The current retrofit market in the UK has insufficient ...

With governments across the world committing to environmental targets, global installed offshore wind capacity is expected to reach 630GW by 2050 (McKinsey & Company). An estimated 80% of global offshore wind resource is in waters too deep for current fixed bottom foundations (Global Wind Energy Council, 2022). The Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) market is ...

MireLifo involves two multidisciplinary research activities, to be developed by two separate research centres: Centre for Anaerobic Digestion, University of South Wales and The BioComposites Centre at Bangor University. The partnership proposes using a low value resource (digestate from animal slurries) as the raw material to produce high quality insulati...

This project is about the development of a new business model and capability to enable the utilisation of industrial waste gases from the foundation industries, to generate affordable feedstocks and chemicals for use in the production of consumer products in the UK. Such an industrial symbiosis model will displace the import of non-sustainable materials f...

This collaborative project will develop, build and operate an industry scale demonstrator, the Torstran Production Demonstrator. It will use waste heat from steel and glass manufacturing to convert renewable/waste methane into hydrogen for use as a process chemical in steel and glass manufacturing. The Torstran Production Demonstrator also produces a high...

The UK produces around 11MT of scrap steel per annum. Around 2.6MT of this is used domestically to make higher performance steel products, whilst the remainder is exported in bulk, much of it for use in lower performance applications. However, the standard grades of recycled steel that are traded internationally do not meet the purity or value in use crit...

SilverRay Ltd is a start-up company whose primary goal is to exploit a proprietary technology developed for the production of large area, high sensitivity X-ray detectors for real-world applications. This proprietary technology has demonstrated a 2-3 orders of magnitude higher X-ray detection sensitivity than conventional organic detectors, whilst operati...

The project aims to develop a UK PEMD supply chain that will combine cost effective material supply and cold rolling of a new high strength non-magnetic steel with mass production process innovations that can deliver patented lamination designs. These laminations can then be stacked into novel rotor and stator sub-assemblies to support mass production of ...

In civil and mechanical engineering, the design process is done almost entirely by computer. Similarly, a long-held goal in formulated product (FP) design is to shift from an ad-hoc labour-intensive process towards a more robust and adaptive computer aided formulation (CAF) paradigm. Significant progress has been made over the last two decades in utilizin...

Glass and Steel manufacturing furnaces frequently operate at temperatures above 1400'C, creating a pressing need for new, cost-effective technologies to reduce NOx emissions and increase furnace efficiency to meet ever tightening regulatory requirements. Global Combustion Systems (GCS) have previously demonstrated (at lab and commercial-scale) an 'Auxilia...

Proper maintenance in domestic Foundation Industries is crucial for everything that matters: productivity, product quality, reliable deliveries and safe working environments. However, in responding to the demands of global competitions, and more recently the effects of COVID-19, management teams have been forced to make difficult decisions to reduce costs...
