Theatre : Sustainability and Circular Economy
The path to Net Zero is an achievable but narrow one. Electrification plays a pivotal role. Raw material supply challenges and supply chain disruptions have caused serious concerns over the past few years in the e-mobility space.
During this talk, we will explore Glencore’s approach towards addressing these concerns.
Currently in the UK aerospace manufacturing industry, buy-to-fly ratios can be as high as 9:1 for titanium alloy components. The industry produces considerable amounts of machining swarf and there are…
The financial risks in developing a new alloy or thermomechanical process for a steelmaker are significant, especially in the light of recent increases in raw materials and energy costs. Liberty…
