The collaboration represents another example of how firms involved in energy intensive processes are trying to find ways to maintain productivity whilst simultaneously reducing emissions. In a statement last week, Swansea University said the green hydrogen unit which is housed inside a converted shipping container had been installed at Hanson UK s Regen GGBS plant in the town of Port Talbot, south Wales. The term GGBS refers to ground granulated blast furnace slag, which can be used instead of cement when producing concrete. The effect of cement production on the environment is considerable. According to a 2018 report from U.K. think tank Chatham House, over 4 billion metric tons of cement are produced annually. This, the policy institute said, amounted to roughly 8% of global CO2 emissions. ....
Port Talbot Regen Plant RICE unit Hanson UK is collaborating with researchers at the Energy Safety Research Institute at Swansea University, to look at innovative technologies to reduce industrial carbon emissions. A new hydrogen demonstration unit, which generates green hydrogen through renewable energy, has been developed and installed at the company’s Regen GGBS (ground granulated blastfurnace slag) plant in Port Talbot, south Wales, as part of the £9.2m ERDF funded RICE project. The aim of the demonstration unit is to replace some of the natural gas used to power the plant with green hydrogen, which is considered a clean source of energy as it only emits water when burned, reducing CO ....
