Advanced Potash Technologies, a pioneer in the creation of potassium-based nutrients produced from feldspar, to restore degraded soils, producing sustainable potash fertilizers.

Introducing a method for reducing steel consumption by 25% over a four year period, without affecting the quality of life, nor causing hardship to industry. There is no funding required to implement this, but it does require legislation. The goal is to reduce the pollution associated with steel production, which currently accounts for at least 7% of all CO_2 emissions in the world.
A written version of the practical examples is available in "Steels: structure, properties and design", by Bhadeshia and Honeycombe, 5th edition, 2024.
The talk was presented at the Materials 2.0 summit held in Cambourne, which is near Cambridge.
