Dr Julian Allwood (Cambridge University Engineering Department)
Wednesday 01 February 2012, 18:00-19:30
Sustainable Materials - with both eyes open
- đ¤ Speaker: Dr Julian Allwood (Cambridge University Engineering Department)
- đ Date & Time: Wednesday 01 February 2012, 18:00 - 19:30
- đ Venue: Cambridge University Engineering Department, LR0
Abstract
The world target is to reduce industry’s carbon emissions by 50% by 2050. However, projections are that world demand for materials will DOUBLE by 2050, so to meet our emissions target, we have to achieve a 4-fold reduction in emissions per unit of material used. Dr Julian Allwood will present a practical, evidence based vision for change based on scientific detail. His lecture will not be about climate change—but about using materials wisely, and getting more for less.
Julian Allwood is a Reader in Engineering at the University of Cambridge where he leads the Low Carbon Materials Processing research group and is a fellow of Gonville and Caius College. He worked for 10 years for the aluminium industry and currently holds an EPSRC Leadership Fellowship which funds the WellMet2050 project. He is a lead author for the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
