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.Follow Tata Steel UK on social media:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/tatasteelukFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tatasteelukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tatasteeluk/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/tata-steel-uk-irelandLink to Sky News YouTube video, as mentioned in the episode: https://youtu.be/8Xq9krqt9XU

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 nextLink to Active Classroom, as mentioned in the episode: https://www.specific.eu.com/the-active-classroom/

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.
