📢Industrial decarbonisation strategy launched by UK Govt:
-'Expects' industry emissions to fall 2/3rds by 2035, and >90% by 2050 vs 2018
-£171m awarded to 5 H2 & CCS clusters
-20TWh of industry energy use to switch to H2, elec or bio by 2030 + 3 MtCO2 CCS gov.uk/government/new…

It commits to establish:
-policy to ensure uptake of fuel switching
-approach to mitigate against carbon leakage
-proposals for new low-carbon product standards
+to consider target for ore-based steel to reach near-zero emissions by 2035

For a comparison against @theCCCuk Sixth Carbon Budget Advice recommendations on industry (roughly equivalent to @theCCCuk manufacturing + construction sector), see: theccc.org.uk/wp-content/upl… 
Full marks for timing of the strategy compared to recommendation in @theCCCuk 2020 Progress Report to Parliament, which recommended publication in Q1 2021✅. Full @theCCCuk assessment of the strategy will come in @theCCCuk 2021 annual progress report. theccc.org.uk/publication/re…
@theCCCuk Congrats and thanks to all those Govt officials who I know have been working really hard to get this out on time. @CJBarber45 Full strategy to be published at 9:45am at: gov.uk/government/pub…
On circular economy + product standards, IDS says Govt will:
- call for evidence on low carbon products, covering data collection for development + delivery of demand-side policies.
- support increased resource efficiency in industry, increasing reuse, repair + remanufacturing

The Industrial #Decarbonisation Strategy includes this technology strategy (page 47):
Alongside the strategy Govt has also launched a call for evidence on "how our use of free allocations can better incentivise emissions reduction, and protect energy intensive, trade exposed industries from the risk of carbon leakage" #UKETS #CBAM gov.uk/government/con…
On industrial power prices, Govt to "publish a call for evidence by April 2021 and begin a strategic dialogue between government, consumers and industry on affordability and fairness in our energy system". Likely important in determining the role of electrification in UK industry
