SMART MANUFACTURING We are working in collaboration with leading companies to bring about meaningful change, and enhancing global competitiveness and productivity. Our researchers are seeking out the most efficient and productive methods for manufacturing sustainably, creating value in innovative ways. Swansea University leads on the ASTUTE 2020 project, collaborating with the manufacturing industry across Wales to innovate, by exploring new advanced technologies and streamlining processes. We are pioneering change within a range of industries, from aerospace and automobile engineering, to industrial manufacturing. We have revolutionised the speed of aerodynamic design, helping to create the world’s first 1000mph supersonic car, and developed new coated metal products in construction which carry a 40 year anti-corrosion warranty. Our research constantly shifts and advances technologies, materials, and methods, in order to help sustain and improve economies and the environment.

SUSTAINABLE FUTURES, ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
plastic crisis, finding a use for plastic that cannot be recycled and transforming it into hydrogen that can power transport and industry in a clean and sustainable way. Our research has protected areas affected by wildfire from serious erosion and revolutionised our understanding of animal movement, migration and behaviour. In Greenland, our researchers drill deep into the ice to understand climate history to protect the world’s future. At Swansea University, we are tackling today’s issues, with tomorrow’s thinking. swansea.ac.uk/research/research-highlights/ sustainable-futures-energy-environment
Our researchers are striving for solutions to the global challenges of today. In collaboration with partners from across the world, Swansea University is working to preserve our planet for future generations. We are working to revolutionise the way we live by creating buildings that can generate, store, and release their own energy using the sun. We have developed the technology to remove half a billion tonnes of carbon each year by capturing and converting carbon dioxide, offsetting global carbon emissions. At the Energy Safety Research Institute, we are discovering and implementing new technology for a sustainable, affordable, and secure energy future for all. We are developing solutions to the
