Dr. Andrew Pimm, University of Leeds


Of all industrial sectors, iron and steel has the highest levels of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 7% of energy sector CO2 emissions. However, to date, little progress has been made in decarbonising the industry. In this seminar, Dr Andrew Pimm presents his research into the various technology options available to radically decarbonise the steel industry, covering hydrogen, CCS, and biomass. He also presents policy options that could drive decarbonisation while strengthening UK competitiveness and provides insights into the arguments around the proposed new coal mine in Cumbria.
