Description
STFC's Accelerator Science and Technology Centre (ASTeC) aims to be a world leader in the field of sustainable accelerators. We have instigated a Sustainable Accelerators Task Force to carry out R&D into sustainable technologies. This talk describes some of the work of the Task Force. We have produced a report looking at the carbon emissions in building and operating a particle accelerator, focusing on a small facility, RUEDI, which will be built in the UK in the next few years. The report highlights several areas to concentrate on in order to reduce manufacture and operating emissions, and we have developed a toolkit which can be used for future projects.
