At DANGO & DIENENTHAL, we are immensely proud to call Derek Bond not only a longstanding partner in the UK but also a respected friend. It's our pleasure to share with the forging community his latest scientific contribution from the EUROFORGE ConFair in Milan, October 2024.
The presentation highlights the urgent need for decarbonization in the UK forging industry, introducing Thermal Energy Storage (TES) as a transformative solution for capturing waste heat, improving efficiency, and reducing emissions. Case studies from Somers Forge and Mettis Aerospace demonstrate TES's practical benefits and its alignment with sustainability goals.
Authored with professor Yulong Ding of University of Birmingham, this presentation blends technical insight and foresight, offering actionable solutions for advancing climate action in forging. Their use of real-world data and innovative proposals underscores their dedication to addressing environmental challenges.
Bravo on this remarkable contribution! Recommended for reading to everyone in the forging community.
