Steel sits at the heart of the modern economy. It underpins renewable energy infrastructure, transport systems, housing, electricity grids and manufacturing. Yet it is also responsible for around 7–8% of global CO₂ emissions , making it one of the most emissions-intensive sectors in the net zero transition. This challenge was the focus of the Foresight webinar Forging a Sustainable Future: Decarbonising Global Steel for Net Zero , which brought together voices from across the

As the UK energy sector races toward Net Zero, it faces many challenges, yet it is encountering a massive acceleration in technology—specifically the convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing. The challenges facing today’s grid are unlike anything seen before. The UK is transitioning from a centralised system to a highly decentralised network integrating intermittent renewables, electric vehicles, storage, and real-time market dynamics. This shift brings ex

The Government has confirmed a major expansion of the UK's nuclear capacity as the centrepiece of the Autumn Budget's energy package, marking a decisive step towards energy independence and the Net Zero 2050 target.
