Developing a low-carbon, circular economy for steel

Penny Gowler and Will Arnold preview a new embodied carbon tool that has been developed by Elliott Wood and the Institution of Structural Engineers.

Papers outlining the Institution’s position on the use of the three main structural materials in ways which minimise greenhouse gases at a global level.

Arup have assembled a package of quick and easy guides to help practising engineers understand the origins of carbon factors for five key construction materials: steel, concrete, stone, aluminium and timber.
