Research project
Industrial Decarbonisation
- Start date: 1 May 2019
- End date: 30 April 2024
- Funder: UKRI
- Primary investigator: Professor Peter Taylor
- External co-investigators: Stephen Allen, University of Bath
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.
