'Although the media hasn't yet recognised this, acting on climate change is about avoiding a global war over food shortage' - The role of metal forming in a world with zero emissions. Read Professor Allwood's ICTP2023 plenary lecture. uselessgroup.org/about-us/blog/…

New paper! 🚨"Technology to the Rescue?" We look at the range of different UK Net Zero scenarios, the need for greater emphasis on efficiency & sufficiency and the challenge of relying solely on new technology for decarbonisation doi.org/10.1016/j.erss…

'It is true that some scrap exports are contaminated by elements like copper or tin that make recycling harder. Julian Allwood at Cambridge university says that is partly because defunct cars, say, are shredded, essentially bonding together different metals in the process.'

UK breakthrough could slash emissions from cement bbc.in/4dU5jLt

Cambridge engineers have developed a potential solution for one of our biggest decarbonisation challenges: concrete. Concrete produces three times as much carbon as aviation, but low-emission concrete could be transformative for the transition to net zero. Find out more 👇
