Decarbonisation of Welding and Associated Manufacturing Processes in the Application of Large Steelwork Structures

制造业造成了全球20%的碳排放，消耗了全球约54%的能源--这意味着大型制造商需要了解和解决他们的碳排放问题，以有效地实现制造过程的脱碳。对可持续性的有效衡量、报告和轻重缓急被确定为有效脱碳的关键障碍。这一具有挑战性和回报的iCASE奖项将有效地调查和报告BAE系统公司巴罗工厂不同制造工艺的能源消耗。该项目将跨越克兰菲尔德大学的能源、可持续发展和制造业主题，并将是有益的，因为它将努力建立碳排放测量、报告和优先原则，这有可能塑造制造业的未来

Manufacturing causes 20% of carbon emission globally and consumes about 54% of global energy generation - this means large scale manufacturers need to understand and address their carbon emission for effective decarbonisation of manufacturing processes. Effective measurement of sustainability, reporting and prioritisation were identified as crucial barriers towards effective decarbonisation. This challenging and rewarding iCASE award will effectively investigate and report the energy consumption across different manufacturing processes in the Barrow site of BAE Systems. The project will span across Energy and Sustainability and Manufacturing themes of Cranfield University and would be rewarding as it will endeavour to establish the carbon emission measuring, reporting and prioritisation principles which has the potential to shape the future of manufacturing
