Scottish Institute for Remanufacturing

Hear from Renewable Parts Ltd and the Centre for Energy Policy on the challenges and fundamental changes needed to achieve Net Zero targets.

<p>Michael Forbes from Renewable Parts Ltd will present on the Renewable Parts journey and in particular the Refurbishment Centre. He will outline how RPL have introduced a circular economy in the wind industry, the challenges involved and the work  done with the help of SIR.</p><p>Dr Jamie Stewart, Depute Director of the Centre for Energy Policy at Strathclyde University will then lead a discussion around decarbonisation. Parliaments in Scotland and at Westminster have set some of the world’s most stretching emission reduction targets, with ambitions to meet Net Zero by the mid-century. The UK has made substantial progress in reducing emissions over the last decades, with notable reductions from power generation and industry. But reducing emissions from heating, transport and remaining industry in particular, present a significant challenge. In this webinar we will explore the challenges that face key industries such as chemicals and steel. We will explore how new decarbonisation options could allow them to retain their economic contribution, reduce the need for the UK to import key products, take a leading role in climate action and deliver a Just Transition. </p>
