OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
MEGA part 4: Decarbonising Industry
All good things must come to an end. The MEGA finale this Thursday will explore industry, a sector responsible for about a quarter of global emissions, and regarded as hard-to-decarbonise because of its energy intensity. This week’s speakers are both working to decarbonise industry.
Richard Jackson is Director of Standard Gas, who are converting non-recyclable waste into gas and biochar, which can provide carbon-efficient inputs to manufacturing, agriculture and construction. Professor Yulong Ding is the Founder of PeroCycle, a spin-out from Birmingham University, who are eliminating CO2 emissions from steel-making. Yulong is a prolific inventor with over 100 patents and recognised with many awards including Royal Academy Fellowship. The Q&A will be led by Professor Cameron Hepburn, one of Oxford’s most prominent environmental economists, and founder of three green finance companies. So join us this Thursday at 5:30pm to make our series finale the most mega MEGA – it’s now or never. There will be a Bacchanalia of organic wine, with the official MEGA Afterparty following the talk until 7:30pm.
