In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re talking with Advanced Materials Director & Materials and Transition Engineer, Jill Cooper.
Jill has over 35 year’s experience in steelmaking, smelting, kilns, reformers and refractory lined product units, and has a particular interest in the new low carbon economy.
Together we chat about steel decarbonisation and what an ideal domestic steel industry would look like - covering off what the technical challenges and opportunities are, the role Government needs to play in supporting this transition and what that transition would look like.
