Bulk Materials Handling and Processing in the Net Zero Economy

One day short course; 4 December
Venue: University of Greenwich campus, Chatham

Course presenters: Mike Bradley; Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology and Ian Hancock, Bradley Pulverizer. (links)

What have aggregates and other particulate materials got to do with Net Zero? The course will look at bulk materials handling as part of the solution to net zero, discussing trends and opportunities.

Delegates will be invited to share their current methods in use and discuss how the industry can become more aware and active in reducing carbon emissions, using techniques and processes already in operation around the industry.

The process of handling bulk solids generates carbon emissions but it is also a fundamental ENABLING TECHNOLOGY in processes that can reduce carbon emissions through Energy from renewable biomass; Energy from waste; and Recycling and “green” chemical feedstocks.

Course Programme

Bulk solids handling and processing as a key enabler in the move to net zero:

• Renewable solid fuels and waste recycling
• Growth minerals for emissions reduction (lithium, copper etc)
• The renewable power sector and infrastructure
• Carbon negative processes

Reducing the emissions from bulk solids handling and processing operations:

• Identifying the main energy consumers
• Pneumatic conveying and compressed air
• Grinding and classification
• Port operations

Why attend?

By the end of this course you will understand more about the impact of Bulk Solids Handling on emissions and the role of Bulk Solids Handling in reducing these emissions.

Is this for me?

Yes. Everyone involved in all aspects of the bulk materials handling industry is responsible for helping reduce carbon emissions to reach the goal of net zero by 2050. If your plant has plans in place, please feel free to come and share with the group. If you don't know where to start in making changes, come along to get some ideas. This course is relevant to everyone.
