IDRIC has funded two Bath projects investigating how to decarbonise industry - Two research projects led by Bath engineers get go-ahead from industrial decarbonisation centre IDRIC as part of £6 million funding round Two research projects led by University of Bath engineers have won funding as part of a £6 million investment by the Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre, IDRIC. Prof Marcelle McManus , Director of the University of Bath Institute for Sustainability , is also one of IDRIC's research co-directors. She will lead a project to create a carbon accounting framework aimed at combatting the problem of tracking carbon emissions on a global, rather than local or industrial, level. The project will carry out work in the Black Country and South Wales alongside partners the University of Warwick, University of Birmingham, Energy Systems Catapult, TATA Steel and SWIC. Dr Xinyuan Ke , from the Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering, will lead research aimed at decarbonising cement and concrete by creating new carbon capture and CO2 utilisation techniques. Research will take place in the Humber and South Wales, with partners including Lafarge Cauldon Limited / Aggregate Industries Ltd and CEMEX UK. Dr Ke says: -Decarbonisation of cement is an imminent challenge for UK's industry sector.
