About this presentation
Industry plays an essential role in society\, with the chemic
al sector traditionally outperforming the world index. The chemical sector
is also the largest industrial energy consumer\, as well as a highly carb
on-intensive industry\, accounting globally for around 925 Mt of CO2 in 20
21\, i.e. third largest industry subsector. The s
ector is\, therefore\, facing numerous challenges to remain both economica
lly and environmentally sustainable.
To meet current ambitious climate pol
icies\, the chemical industrial sector must address carbon emissions comin
g from process energy sources\, or as carbon feedstock\, while considering
long lifespans of industrial sites infrastructure. Decarbonisation is key
to address these challenges\, but also by realising many opportunities th
rough the creation of low carbon industrial clusters\, that can boost the
competitiveness of key industry regions and drive inward investment.
Innov
ation is key in this global transition\, as we do not currently have all t
he commercial technologies required to meet carbon targets. \; Powered
by research and innovation\, the UK Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC\, funded by UKRI) is
currently developing innovative decarbonisation solutions at pace and scal
e in the places where it matters most. Informed by a whole-systems approac
h\, IDRIC’\;s research programme addresses key cross-cutting challeng
es of industrial decarbonisation. Furthermore\, beyond technological innov
ation\, we also need to unlock social barriers\, developing financial mode
ls and bridging skills gaps to realise our green chemical industries.
