This theme will explore future industry decarbonisation strategies, through detailed analyses of technologies, product outputs, and trade patterns.
Building on previous research, the theme takes a whole-systems approach to industrial energy use that goes beyond the major energy intensive sectors. It will explore 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.
The manufacturing industry produces emissions in two main ways: (1) burning/using fossil fuels such...
This blog explores the impact of increased global energy prices on UK industry decarbonisation. It...

This year the Review of Energy Policy focuses on the energy crisis and explores the impact of volatile energy prices on the energy sector and society.
Food cold chains are energy intensive and use high global warming refrigerants. The aim of this work was to benchmark the existing UK cold chain and provide robust evidence-based data on emissions in 2020.
Modelling plays an important role to inform the choice of technologies and fuels needed for a low carbon transition and the policies required. This working paper explores how results from the N-ZIP industry model are impacted by changes to a range of input assumptions.
