Greenhouse Gas removal in the Iron and Steel Industry Sep 1, 2017 - Jun 30, 2022
This is a GGR Topic-specific proposal

Up to 200 billion tonnes of slag may be produced over the next century as a by-product of the iron and steel industry, which could theoretically sequester up to 90 to 155 billion tonnes of CO2 through enhanced... Read More about Greenhouse Gas removal in the Iron and Steel Industry.

Resource recovery and remediation of alkaline wastes Aug 31, 2014 - Mar 31, 2019
This project addresses environmental problems and potential benefits posed by alkaline waste materials. These are generated in large quantities by many industrial processes around the world. The project will provide fundamental scientific understandi... Read More about Resource recovery and remediation of alkaline wastes.

Impact of an extreme rainfall event on solute and sediment dynamics in a mineralised river system Mar 1, 2016 - Nov 30, 2016
The proposed research relates to quantifying the changes in spatial and temporal metal dynamics in an upland mineralised catchment, following the flash flooding from intense rainfall (FFIR) event of 5 - 6 December 2015. The research, which will focus... Read More about Impact of an extreme rainfall event on solute and sediment dynamics in a mineralised river system.

Interreg - Sullied Sediments Jan 1, 2017 - Dec 31, 2020
Our inland waterway ecosystems provide a circulatory system for both our urban and rural communities: a transport system bringing goods and removing waste; while in parallel also providing ‘oxygen’ promoting health of the wildlife and humans, whether...
