This will be an event with information, discussion and ideas-sharing for you to apply in your work. It will reflect on a series of webinars since 2021 that have covered the concepts of process safety management and why they are important to mechanical engineers. We will also discuss the importance of helping humans to be reliable in safety-critical critical tasks, professional engineering ethics and the need to speak up, and how the series’ legacy could be best used by future engineers.

Mechanical metamaterials – engineered structures with combinations of properties that can’t be achieved in their unstructured constituent materials – are being tailored to replace conventional materials used in protective and sports equipment. The talk will focus on the challenge of designing and producing such adaptive or tailored systems

Thermal processes account for the majority of energy use in the food and drink sector. Main focus has been on decarbonising heating, but cooling and refrigeration also play a major role on greenhouse gas emissions due to both direct refrigerant leakage and indirect energy use. Achieving net zero refrigeration in food and drink manufacturing will require understanding of what the emissions currently are, how to reduce those emissions and what innovation and policy levers can support this.

With the cancellation of HS2 from Lichfield to Manchester, there is now no strategy to increase rail capacity north of London. David will explain the transformational benefits that have been lost as a result, which included a huge increase in local, long-distance and freight rail services, which would have been transformational in respect of the UK economy and transport decarbonisation. David will also explain the nature of HS2’s costs and how the best use can be made from what remains of HS2.
