Towards a net zero built environment: decarbonisation of the UK cement industry

npj Materials Sustainability
Cement production contributes ~7–8% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions, necessitating urgent decarbonisation. In the UK, focus has shifted to modernising infrastructure with low-carbon solutions.

A Critical Review of the Decarbonisation Potential in the U.K. Cement Industry. [PDF]

Materials (Basel)
As urbanisation and infrastructure development continue to drive rising cement demand, the imperative to significantly reduce emissions from this emissions-intensive sector has become increasingly urgent, especially in the context of global climate goals such as achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

Scalable Fabrication of MOF Glass Membranes for Gas Separation via Stepwise Phase Transition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metal‐organic framework (MOF) glass membranes, with their excellent processability and permanent pore structure, have great potential for gas separation applications. However, during large‐scale fabrication, defects and obvious cracks are prone to occur due to the limitations of powder processing.

Integrated Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis and Electrolysis for CO2 Capture and Conversion

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates an integrated BMEED platform that couples CO2 capture and conversion within a single modular system. By combining BMED with CO2E, high‐purity CO is produced while avoiding intermediate stripping, excessive capital and O&M costs, and external gas feeds.

Decarbonising the Shipping Industry: A Status Report

The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law, 2023
Abstract Against the background of an escalating climate crisis, this article provides an overview of the present status of international regulatory efforts addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships. It does so by tracing the evolution of mitigation policies and regulations and examining their adequacy, practicability as well as equity and ...

Multiscale Design of Anion Exchange Membrane‐Based Seawater Electrolysis for Sustainable Hydrogen Production

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Direct seawater electrolysis using anion exchange membranes is emerging as a promising route for sustainable hydrogen production. This review summarizes multiscale design strategies from seawater chemistry and OER–ClER selectivity to catalysts, membranes, MEAs, cells, stacks, and system integration, providing a roadmap toward selective, durable, and ...

Hybrid Ionomer‐Free Porous Transport Electrodes With Catalyst Coated Membranes for Enhanced Water Electrolysis

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate how improved electrochemical performance during water electrolysis is achieved when a porous transport electrode (PTE) is coupled with a traditional catalyst coated membrane (CCM). Using operando neutron radiography, a more homogenous water distribution near the catalyst layer‐membrane interface is revealed in PTE‐based designs due to ...

Decarbonisation determinants of the steel industry

Gospodarka Surowcami Mineralnymi - Mineral Resources Management
The iron and steel industry is a sector with very high energy consumption and also causing high emissions. It is difficult to imagine the development of modern sectors of the economy such as construction, transport or the machinery industry without the use of steel, so forecasts indicate that the demand for steel will increase in the future. Meanwhile,
