This event has now ended

Overview

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation (KEK) are leading the Science community to deliver new collider systems, contributing to advances in healthcare, aviation, as well as particle physics.

They are committed to reducing their carbon footprint to a minimum. Arup worked with CERN/KEK to evaluate and understand the environmental and embodied carbon impact of the three linear collider options at concept design, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) Drive Beam and Klystron, and the International Linear Collider (ILC).

Suzanne will present the results of the Life Cycle Assessment and the embodied carbon reduction opportunities identified. She will also highlight next steps including a Whole Life Cycle Assessment for CLIC and ILC machine componentry, and further opportunities for carbon reduction and carbon management using PAS2080:2023.

Following the event, there will be a networking session with drinks at ICE Kendal's Cafe, sponsored by ARUP.
