In collaboration with the University of Leeds, we are leading UKERC research on Industrial Decarbonisation.

A whole-systems approach

Going beyond the major energy intensive sectors we are exploring how the availability of future infrastructure – such as hydrogen networks or carbon dioxide pipelines – could impact the cost of emissions reduction pathways for key industrial sectors.

By 2050 the UK aims to meet its net-zero target for greenhouse gas emissions. Through our research, we hope to help industry reach this target.
