UK FIRES: Locating Resource Efficiency at the heart of Future Industrial Strategy in the UK
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Cambridge
Department Name: Engineering
Abstract
Resource Efficiency is essential for reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing. Progress in achieving it has been slow, but a rapidly changing international context, including Brexit, is giving new emphasis to Industrial Strategy in the UK which creates a unique window of opportunity. This transformational Programme aims to locate resource efficiency at the heart of a visionary industrial strategy; it will create new world-leading competitive advantage for UK manufacturing by addressing four fundamental barriers to progress:
- to break out of lock-in to resource inefficiency, novel methods and tools will be developed to enumerate and characterise all today's options to design and manufacture material goods;
- to create clarity about the environmental impact of new manufacturing strategies, a ground-breaking Physical Resources Observatory will be developed to access and interpret more and better global resource data;
- to target manufacturing innovations for Resource Efficiency and accelerate their implementation, the features of an effective Innovation Pipeline will be characterised, tested and deployed with a portfolio of promising emerging manufacturing technologies;
- to give new priority to Resource Efficiency in Industrial Strategy, new metrics and decision-framing will be developed and tested in the Living Lab of the Programme's industrial consortium.
The Programme brings together nine internationally-leading academic groups and a consortium of subscribing industrial partners. The management strategy, designed for flexibility, aims to integrate existing methods from diverse disciplines to address the application of Resource Efficiency while stimulating exploration of new methodological opportunities where existing approaches are inadequate. The value of the investment in the Programme will be maximised through an International Advisory Panel to support connections and awareness, a consortium executive committee to determine priorities for strategic analysis, and a supervisory board to ensure financial and legal compliance. The programme will deliver impact via quarterly strategic analysis reports on resource issues, a programme of policy influence led by an experienced Policy Champion, technological innovations, an annual UK Forum on Resource Efficiency, commercial and open-access software tools, researcher training and multi-channel communications.

Planned Impact
The key scientific drive of this proposal is the delivery of impact. The academic research programme has been designed around a Living Lab comprising a consortium of subscribing industrial partners, the research team and other relevant stakeholders. The Living Lab will create an evolving dialogue between the methods and applications of the Programme to give clear direction research needs and to maximise the impact of the work. In order to deliver impact in practice:
- The Programme team will deliver professionally written and designed quarterly strategic reports on current priority topics identified by consortium partners, for their use in addressing immediate strategic decisions and to gain feedback on priorities for research development
- Consortium subscriptions will be used entirely to fund project PhD students to apply methods developed in the research to specific contexts, to validate the methods and drive new developments.
- An annual one-day UK Forum on Resource Efficiency will be organised to engage the full stakeholder community in Resource Efficiency across the UK in order to foster new connections, share emerging research ideas, and create new connections.
- A highly qualified "Policy Champion" employed by the Programme will design and lead delivery of focused policy workshops based on Programme outputs to carefully targeted Resource-related audiences across Whitehall and Westminster.
- Publications designed for industrial audiences, deriving from the Programme's academic output, will be disseminated through networks activated by consortium partners to influence future research and development agendas.
- Software implementing a Physical Resources Observatory, the core activity of Challenge 2, will be developed and released as open-access code and data to allow a broad community of resource analysts to experience, apply and enhance the outputs of the Programme directly.
- Software to support enumeration of the performance of existing design, processing and supply chain options will be developed and released through commercial or open-access channels as appropriate.
- The PI and members of the programme team will undertake "road-trips" (including delivering plenary talks, leading workshops and speaking at industry events) to share key outputs of the Programme and to stimulate UK leadership in innovation and the adoption of Research Efficiency in practice.

| Description | This award began in April 2019, and in June 2019 outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May initiated a change in the Climate Change Act, in response to social protests, mandating that the UK should cut its emissions by 100% by 2050. This is scientifically and socially absolutely right, and passed unanimously through both Houses of Parliament - but possibly without anyone really understanding its consequences. As a result, at a first technical retreat of the UK FIRES academic team, we decided to develop a major public-facing report at the end of November 2019 exploring the reality of this zero emissions target. The report "Absolute Zero" has had widespread impact, in policy and the media and on 6th February 2020 was the subject of a full debate in the House of Lords. The report explored the realities of delivering zero emissions largely with today's technologies, as a pragmatic to over-optimism about new technologies which currently dominates discussion of climate policy. It has led to extensive media and public discussion, both positive and negative, and an enormous number of speaker invitations which Professor Allwood and other members of the team are trying to fulfil. The report was discussed by the CEOs and CTOs of the UK's Catapult network, who asked UK FIRES to follow-up the main report with sectorally focused reports on the innovation opportunity for UK businesses revealed by the strict target. During 2020 we ran three major industry-facing workshops to examine these innovation opportunities with with further workshops in 2021 - typically with around 40 companies participating in each report. Each workshop has provided the basis for an innovation report, which are now nearing release. The report on Manufacturing and Materials was released in March 2022 with the others to follow over the next year. THe crucial contribution we are making is to reveal a raft of business growth opportunities that are hidden to others because of their (implausible) belief that novel energy technologies will take away the problem of climate change. Within the four challenges of the work programme several new contributions have begun to emerge. In Challenge 1, the software PANDA partially developed in this grant, is now being commercialised as the first ever means to evaluate the cost and carbon impact of the earliest stage design decisions in commercial construction. The team are now expanding this approach to enumeration to other products and to the use phase of construction. In Challenge 2, our work on the probabilistic resource observatory PROBS is focused on creating the first physically derived map of the material sourcing required to deliver all UK purchasing of goods. THis work provided the analytical basis for several of the sector innovation reports and will be made publicaly available over the next year. In Challenge 3 we have taken forwards the novel shearing-folding process described in the proposal and are developing several novel processes in the context of an innovation roadmap. The new process, now called "DeepForm" is being developed by Cleaver as a spin-out company, which has a board of advisors and a list of pilot customers. During 2022 Dunant with support from Allwood and Horton invented the world's first truly zero-emissions cement, for which a patent applicaton has been submitted, and new funding requested. In Challenge 4, as well as the industry-facing workshops, we have developed a new proposal for "ZERPAs" - a form of tradeable procurement agreement to improve share valuations and support capital allocation through a futures market for non-emitting electricity, biomass and negative emissions. In 2022 new EPSRC and Innovate UK funding was awarded to develop "Cambridge Electric Cement" as invented by Dunant and described above. The focus of our outreach has shifted towards promoting enterpreneurship comaptible with Absolute Zero - and our sequence of sector innovation reports continues. Strikingly, in the past year, the International Energy Agency has anticipated that 30% of industrial mitigation will be delivered by Material efficiency - largely as a result of our earlier work - and the UK governmnet has, in its new DESNZ department, begun to promote resource efficiency as an area for growth. |
| Exploitation Route | Absolute Zero is of fundamental importance to the UK's approach to designing its plans for climate mitigation, and as the promises of breakthrough technologies fail to deliver, is likely to be seen as a pioneering manual for pragmatic change. A second edition of the report, "Minus 45" to explore the reality of the Prime Minister's December 2020 commitment to cut UK emissions by 45% from 2020 to 2030 was published ahead of the COP26 meeting in October 2022, and is the basis for ongoing challenge to the techno-optimistic assumptions behind current government climate policy. Absolute Zero and Minus 45 have given a sharp focus to our research agenda: relative reductions in emissions are no longer relevant when within 28 years we are obliged to be operating with zero emissions. This is strongly directing the choices we make about our research priorities - and two years into the programme, was the basis of our second technical retreat planned in Sept 2021, when we explored career-defining research programmes, particularly for Early Career Researchers. A key activity during 2022 is to complete the development of a "Calculator" we are working on, linked to two summary papers, revealing how shortages of zero-emissions electricity, biomass and carbon storage will prevent delivery of current climate policy but will create other opportunities for new profitable business growth. During 2022 we launched www.tickzero.com - delivering a short course in 6 10 -minute films, for the public, to introduce climate mitigation. It has been written up in teh Guardian and user numbers are building. |

| Title | PANDA a building scheme design software aiming to highlight cost/carbon trade-offs |
| Description | The software allows structural engineers to input all the broad information available at the early stages of a project, as well as broad massing information. Simplified versions of all buildings corresponding to these specifications are generated, and their embodied carbon and economic cost are computed. This allows optimal early-stage decisions in structural design. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2020 |
| Impact | Price & Meyers, the company with which the software was co-developed, has already won tenders using the tool. Importantly, based on a back analysis of their portfolio of previous designs, an estimated 20% of embodied carbon can be typically saved in any project going forward. This is expected to drive the construction sector towards more efficient designs. |

| Results and Impact | Presentation at the BEIS lunch time talks "brown bag lunch" on "What if new energy technologies don't deliver in time?". Abstract: Despite the rhetoric about innovation and the many high-profile figures claiming that "innovation is the answer", and the frequent comparisons between climate mitigation and the Apollo programme, it's now too late for new energy-scale technologies to deliver zero emissions. The two problems are scalability (no country has ever introduced a new energy technology faster than 2% of total supply per year) and aggregation (everyone is claiming priority on the same CCS projects, and hydrogen increases energy demand.) Accordingly planning for energy-scale innovations to take away the problem of climate change has become extremely risky. This talk will explore the options for a lower risk plan. |

Some example questions: Is the timetable for phasing out cement realistic? Is this essentially a 'de-growth' strategy? Is it possible for a single sovereign nation to make unilateral laws that will influence global behavior. Will COP26 and future COPs be key negotiating places for progress? Do you see a new cement (like a new vaccine) being the key? Or do we already have the best product? Would you back the construction of more nuclear power stations given the huge amount of cement involved? Is there anything other reason to change the way we do things than an ethical one?

Also, and importantly, it will help the committee to identify specialist advisers who will help guide the inquiry and shape the recommendations of its report eventually. > > Yesterday evening, Lord Patel shared with me the list below of academics and experts, some of whom you are certain to know, and asked that I connect him to you and the UKFIRES team. Weeks ago, I referred him to the Absolute Zero report and he clearly was very impressed. > Naren wishes me to recruit you and others from your team, depending on your recocomendation, to participate in a seminar. He also would like help about deciding who to appoint as advisers. He is looking for two names initially. > > I am sharing the whole list with you. An early response to your willingness to participate in a seminar would be good. Also, any information regarding the suitability of those on the list, particularly those who are Cambridge based, would be helpful too. > > The big question is: who should be the advisers? If you or members of the UKFIRES team are interested, this could be an important opportunity to shape an influential parliamentary report. > > This is the list: > > Prof Grey (Cambridge): Electro chemistry and batteries > Prof Bill David (Oxford): Ammonia > Prof James Durrant (Imperial): PVs and Solar energy conversion > Prof Graham Hutchings (Cardiff): Synthetic fuels > Prof Andy Rice (Cambridge): IT and Data > Prof Jenny Nelson ( Imperial): PVs and Solar energy conversion > Prof Yulong Ding (Birmingham): Thermal energy storage > Mike Muskett (Cambridge): Energy Systems , fuel (Formerly BP) > Prof Chris Llewelyn Smith (Oxford): Energy Storage > Prof Pete Smith (Aberdeen): " negative emissions," direct air capture . > Prof Nigel Brandon (Imperial): Hydrogen > Prof Stuart Haszeldine (Edinburgh): CC&S > Prof Rubin Grimes (Imperial): Nuclear Energy |

| Results and Impact | Niobium, steel and the trajectory to zero global emissions, a presentation to CBMM Board of Directors in Brazil via Zoom Outline: Starting from global mass-flow analyses of Niobium and Steel, this presentation will explore the options for reaching zero global emission at the rates currently being set into international law. Although climate policy discussions are largely focused on new energy infrastructure technologies, such as Carbon Capture and Storage or the use of Hydrogen and other synthetic fuels for energy transfer, in reality energy transitions are always slow. It is therefore very unlikely that these new technologies will have reached global market saturation by the period around 2050-2060 which is the focus of zero emissions targets. Therefore this talk will focus primarily on the opportunities for the steel industry to grow new configurations to meed demand with zero emissions. Primarily, this must involve a switch to electric recycling as the main production route for steel, as has already happened in the USA. However, recycling will not be able to deliver current levels of blast furnace production, so zero emissions inevitably depends on a short-term significant reduction in total steel production with new profit opportunities from the conservation of material value. The talk will conclude with suggestions about how the Niobium industry can expand its value proposition in this future. |
