The process of handling bulk solids generates carbon emissions but it is also a fundamental “enabling technology” in processes that can reduce carbon emissions through Energy from renewable biomass; Energy from waste; and Recycling and “green” chemical feedstocks.

Organised at its University of Greenwich campus, Chatham , the course will discuss trends and opportunities, with delegates being invited to share their current methods in use. They will discuss how the industry can become more aware and active in reducing carbon emissions, using techniques and processes already in operation around the industry.

Course Programme

Bulk solids handling and processing as a key enabler in the move to net zero:

  • Renewable solid fuels and waste recycling
  • Growth minerals for emissions reduction (lithium, copper etc)
  • The renewable power sector and infrastructure
  • Carbon negative processes

Reducing the emissions from bulk solids handling and processing operations:

  • Identifying the main energy consumers
  • Pneumatic conveying and compressed air
  • Grinding and classification
  • Port operations


Course fees are £580 per person. Registration and payment is available via the on-line shop. Discounts are available for group bookings of 2 or more.
