THE UK’s National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) has selected Jacobs to help develop novel high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HGTR) technology that could support the decarbonisation of heavy industry such as steel and cement.
THE UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has announced the development of a new industrial-sized facility that will support research into tritium processing, an essential fuel for nuclear fusion technology.
ROLLS-ROYCE SMR has started work on a £15m (US$19.2m) project to manufacture and test prototype modules for its small modular reactor technology, taking a vital step towards deploying a global fleet of “factory-built” nuclear power plants.
UK-BASED startup C-Capture has developed an alternative to traditional carbon capture methods which could be a game-changer for decarbonising hard-to-abate industries like glass and cement.
Tea may be renowned for its soothing qualities, but tea leaves have the potential to cause catastrophic dust explosions if not carefully controlled. Thankfully, Gido van Tienhoven and his team at Ex-Machinery are on hand to ensure there is no trouble brewing
THE AUSTRALIAN government has revealed plans to increase natural gas drilling and exploration, stating that gas will remain an important source of energy “through to 2050 and beyond”.
Joy Parvin has 32 years of working in primary schools’ outreach under her belt. She reflects on why it is so important for chemical engineers to engage with the youngest in our society, and shares tips from three Children Challenging Industry ambassadors who are out there doing it
Many of us feel impostor syndrome at some point in our careers. To help generate more understanding around the phenomenon, Laura Grindey and Martyna Cepaite from IChemE’s National Early Careers Group surveyed chemical engineers about their experiences
For a series called Chemical Engineers who Changed the World, it would be downright rude not to feature the man who is widely regarded as the founding father of the discipline and the spiritual father of IChemE.
Trevor Kletz, the father of inherent safety, explains his remarkable career
