The ACerS U.K. Chapter and the TFIN+ co-organized a one-day meeting at the University of Sheffield on “Inorganic Materials for Resource and Energy Efficiency.” The meeting included speakers from the Universities of Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, London South Bank University, and Queen Mary University London, as well as from Johnson Tiles, and hosted more than 50 delegates.
The meeting provided an excellent platform to promote knowledge, exchange, and collaborate in the ceramic’s community. The emphasis was on resource and energy efficiency which was addressed in areas ranging from low temperature ceramic processing to improved thermal barrier coatings for more efficient jet engines. The meeting formed part of a yearly sequence of ceramic meetings that will continue in 2024 to help the ceramics industry and community create innovative solutions toward net zero carbon emission.
