Trials led by MPI have enabled the manufacture, testing and analysis of specialist high temperature fusion grade steels initially at laboratory scale and leading to industrial scale trials in our Electric Arc Furnace (EAF).
Investment in new induction furnace increases capability
This new furnace incorporates the latest technology and increases our melting capability from laboratory scale melts to induction melts of up to 1000kg...Click on the video to see the furnace in action and to find out more.
Fully operational hydrogen facility to drive decarbonisation initiatives
Our bulk storage facility and H₂ transport network to support industrial decarbonisation by driving innovation and scaling up low-carbon hydrogen-based technologies is now up and running.
This new laboratory increases our capability to carry out hydrometallurgical R&D. This enables us to develop more efficient and new methods to extract metals from minerals and other materials.
The Green Steel Centre supports the steel industry and its supply chain to develop technologies, materials, and processes to decarbonise steel production and accelerate a sustainable green steel economy.
The vision was to convene stakeholders from across the UK steel supply and demand chain to identify common goals, align language and timelines, and understand the next steps that we all need to take to deliver on the demand for Green Steel in the UK.
Review - 8th Postgraduate Research Symposium on Ferrous Metallurgy
"It was fantastic to see the breadth of research being carried out within the field of ferrous metallurgy and the quality of presentations and posters on the day were excellent."
Funding and Support - Foundation Industries Sustainability Consortium (FISC)
We are a member of FISC which brings together research and technology organisations from across the cement, metal, glass, ceramic, paper, polymer and chemicals industries to deliver innovation in low carbon resource efficient sustainable solutions.
