The Transforming the Foundation Industries Research and Innovation Hub (TransFIRe) has concluded its activities after three years, having developed new materials, processes and practices in key industries. A new report published by the Hub highlights crucial areas of impact and innovation to bring the UK closer to net zero.
TransFIRe, which was funded by UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) Transforming Foundation Industries (TFI) Challenge, delivered by AIRTO member Innovate UK, EPSRC and ESRC, brought together 12 research organisations, led by Cranfield University, with a focus on working closely with industry on interdisciplinary research projects. It has established more than 130 key partnerships across the foundation industries, which include cement, ceramics, bulk chemicals, glass, metals and paper.
