STEEL INNOVATION We believe steel is a 21st century industry that is essential for the future. Our researchers are exploring ways that create lighter cars and greener buildings. We are finding ways for a more sustainable economy; creating smarter, greener, cleaner steel, saving the industry, energy, raw materials, and millions of pounds. We are transforming the UK steel landscape with the aim of making the industry carbon-neutral by 2040. Research within Swansea University has helped create new steel-based products, which, when used on buildings can capture energy from the sun, then store and release their own energy, decreasing the need for other resources. From nano-level technology, to the huge impact of blast furnaces, our research in steel aims to influence industry and organisations to help the environment. Our research in steel impacts upon the automotive industry too, by developing lighter steel for more energy-efficient cars. We aim to develop a smarter, greener, cleaner future for all.
