Welcome to the 2023 SUSTAIN Future Steel Manufacturing Research Hub Annual Review!

In this review, we’ll update you with the key findings from our research across the Tasks, and give you an insight into the future direction of our work as we continue to innovate and break new ground.

Our research teams have made exciting advancements in the fields of carbon capture and electromagnetic sensors, and the digital innovation hub is delivering innovative insights in data analysis using artificial intelligence, amongst many other highlights.

I would personally like to thank all our funders and collaborators, from academia, industry and beyond for their continued support. I’m looking forward to the year ahead as our research teams move into the second phase of SUSTAIN and continue to deliver outstanding work.
