"From Atoms to Stories" explores the spatial implications of the simultaneous transitions on the Tata Steel site - from traditional steel production to green steel, and from fossil fuels to sustainable energy.
As these two transitions converge on the 2050 deadline, it becomes clear that the greatest challenge is the growing gap between them - The transition to green steel production methods results in a 400% increase in energy consumption, while switching to fossil-free energy results in a 90% loss in the efficiency of energy production. This results in a 4000% difference between energy production and consumption that will need to be resolved if these two transitions are to succeed, while sharing the same site in a sustainable future.
While there is much more work to be done to bridge these challenges, giving these abstract concepts a more tangible form as quantifiable and experiential spaces is hopefully a first step towards turning them into reality.
