This 1 hour Lunch 'N' Learn will give an overview of supply chain innovations to reduce carbon emissions in the highways sector. 

What will this webinar cover?  

This webinar will explore National Highways Net Zero Plan in relation to low carbon innovation. It will set out learning and collaboration from the Low Carbon Accelerator Programme, exploring how partners and suppliers are finding innovative ways to reduce emissions, to reach its goal to make the road network net zero by 2050 and for net zero emissions from construction and maintenance by 2040. 

The webinar will showcase projects and innovations from the Low Carbon Innovation Programme including using low carbon materials, delivering carbon negative aggregate, recycling old concrete and using a unique climbing robot to carry out structure inspections. There will be an overview on the National Highways Low Carbon Opportunities Register to encourage the supply chain to constantly evolve and to enable a proactive approach, collaborating on their own innovative ideas to reduce emissions including from cement, or steel or alternatives or find innovative ways to recycle materials. SME's outside the supply chain are welcome to join this session.
