Hard-to-abate sectors like steel and cement can decarbonise through energy efficiency measures, reducing operational emissions and the employment of a circular economy.
Innovations in CCUS and supply chain decarbonisation will feature amidst discussions on how we reduce the carbon
inputs and outputs of the industrial sector.
The UK has the oldest building stock in Europe, and radical changes are required to reduce the levels of embodied and operational carbon permeating the industry.
Conversations around energy efficiency and retrofitting will feature as we engage with leading housebuilders, mortgage lenders, local authorities and associations.
