"There is arguably no bigger challenge to engineers than ensuring the security of affordable and environmentally-sustainable energy. Corrosion is one of the major life-limiting factors for energy supply (oil and gas, renewables, EOR) and in environmental pollution control (CCS) costing 3% GDP. Yet we are still unable to predict localised pitting corrosion, and currently use massive volumes of chemicals to mitigate corrosion. This project will bring together some of the most exciting experimental and modelling engineering science to create a framework for the intelligent management of corrosion."
