SteelCast

In this episode we talk to Professor Jon Gibbins, Centre Director of the UK CCS Research Community Network Plus at Sheffield University about the potential for Carbon Capture and Storage as a solution to the net zero challenge for energy intensive industries such as steel, and the UK’s potential role as a demonstrator economy rather than a country that simply adopts the latest technology that others can’t follow.

The SEISMIC demonstrator building at the Building Research Establishment in Watford has been described as the Henry Ford moment for the construction industry. Not only is it bringing standardisation and collaboration to modern methods of construction, but designs predicated on clever, modern steel solutions make buildings that are not only quicker and easier to construct, but also sustainable, energy-efficient and re-usable. It feels like there’s a revolution afoot!

 

We talk to Tata Steel’s Alex Small about where it all started and what happens next

We caught up with more of the speakers from the Construction Summit 2023 to talk about some of the wider sustainability issues for the sector such as skills and people. We also get a snapshot of the industry beyond 2030 and speak to two of the keynote speakers Tata Steel’s CCO Anil Jhanji and UK Government’s Fergus Harradence.

The central themes at the Tata Steel and Constructing Excellence sponsored “Construction Summit 2023” were sustainability and climate change.

 

With the great and the good of the UK construction industry speaking, listening and networking, it was an ideal opportunity to talk to some of the industry’s makers and shakers about the progress being made and the role of materials such as steel in the path to net zero.

With lots of January news headlines talking about decarbonising the UK steel industry, SteelCast host Tim Rutter speaks to industry expert Roz Bulleid, Research Director of independent think tank and charity, Green Alliance about the best ways forward for manufacturing industries and governments to work hand in hand to make a significant impact on climate change.

Following Tata Steel UK’s recent announcement to pursue accreditation for its Port Talbot site to global standards organisation, ‘ResponsibleSteel’, podcast host Tim Rutter spoke to their CEO Annie Heaton to understand a bit more about what is involved.

As a postscript to this latest Steelcast mini-series about decarbonisation from UK Metals Expo, Tata Steel’s host, Tim Rutter, popped next door to the Recycling and Waste Management exhibition, where Tata Steel also had a stand being manned by our very own Packaging Recycling team from Trostre in West Wales.

In this episode, Tim caught up with Manager Steel Packaging Recycling Nicola Jones as well as industry colleague Julie Meeks from Metal Matters, who told us how consumers and local authorities can make their own contributions to the environment and climate change.

In this latest Steelcast mini-series about decarbonisation, Tata Steel’s host, Tim Rutter, talks to a variety of industry experts who were present at the first ever UK Metals Expo.
