the future of steel
The Indegenous Green-steel for Net-zero Innovation, Technology & Enterprise (IGNITE) Sustainable Manufacturing Research Hub will be launching soon. Register below to received updates about the Hub.
IGNITE aims to unify the steel supply chain and promote steel circularity through a holistic sustainability approach. This ethos will consider environmental, economic, and human factors, to create a near-zero carbon dioxide, and highly profitable steel and manufacturing sector in the UK.
Our Grand Challenges
Sustainable Demand:
Novel Green Steel
Reduce steel demand by designing alloys and products for durability, reuse, and recyclability. Ensure steel value-in-use reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Resilient Supply:
Closing the Steel Cycle, Policy & Practice
The sector must collaborate with steel users from manufacturers to consumers to close the steel cycle from end-of-life product management across the supply chain.
Steel as a Service:
Making Circularity Pay
The manufacturing sector must develop novel technologies for steel life extension and condition monitoring, shifting from a volume mentality towards full servitization.
