This Autumn, IDRIC is bringing together academics and industry to share the outcomes of IDRIC’s research so far, discuss industry’s research and innovation needs and lay the groundwork for new collaborative partnerships.
In the coming months, IDRIC will be launching calls for:
Collaboration of industry and research within and across all of the UK’s Clusters is key to IDRIC achieving its decarbonisation goals. We are keen that as many organisations as possible are able to take advantage of funding streams and meet potential partners.
In the past fortnight we had successful Regional Cluster Meetings in the Humber, Scotland, the Northwest and South Wales. This week and next we are in:
Black Country: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/410383617447
Teesside: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/410370658687
Information about Solent will be released soon.
If your work is related to industrial decarbonisation whether research or industry, please contact one of our team on info@idric.org.
Funded through the UKRI SPF Greenhouse Gas Removal Demonstrators (GGR-D) Programme, CO2RE will co-ordinate the Programme and conduct solutions-led research to evaluate a balanced portfolio of economically, socially and environmentally scalable GGR options, with associated policy design, engagement and outreach. This will enable the UK to lead internationally on achieving global net–zero emissions, consistent with the Paris Agreement. Find out more about what we do below.
Join them for a 1-day “Sandpit” 3 Oct in Leeds where you will have the opportunity to shape a new funding opportunity.
You can read more about this successful event in our Event Report.
It’s been a busy Q2 for IDRIC. Read the review of all our initiatives here.
With less than 90 months to go to reach our 2030 emissions reduction targets, it has never been more important to ensure that Net Zero remains firmly on the national political agenda.
IDRIC’s first Parliamentary reception in Westminster in June gave the opportunity to discuss with UK policy makers the contribution of industrial decarbonisation toward Net Zero and the crucial role of research and innovation in its delivery.
We were thrilled to bring together partners from across the industrial decarbonisation community in one room to share success stories and discuss crucial next steps.
It was great to have representatives from the UK’s largest industrial clusters from Teesside and Humber, the Solent, South Wales and the Black Country, to the North West and Scotland, coming together, fostering connections and showing the importance of working together across sectors and regions.
Thanks for helping us to showcase the impact of IDRIC’s research and innovation contributions to the industrial decarbonisation challenge.
Huge thanks to MPs, policy makers and academic and industry partners engaging in the conversations of the evening, and to those who sent messages of support. A special thank you to our host Jacob Young MP for his hospitality and ongoing support in raising awareness of these issues.
Supporting UK’s energy-intensive industry in reducing CO2 emissions from steel and cement, to chemicals and food & drink production is not only a key for reaching UK’s Net Zero targets, but also for ensuring the economic and social benefits of this transition throughout the UK.
At IDRIC, experts from 23 UK universities and more than a 100 partners from industry, government and the Third Sector, are working hard to support this journey through a whole-systems programme of transformative research and innovation.
The IDRIC Policy Team will contintue to focus the conversation on the policy and regulatory support we need to accelerate industrial decarbonisation in the UK with our upcoming policy white paper and the next Industrial Decarbonsiation Policy Forum after the summer.

This year has also seen:
In less than 2 weeks we are welcoming our partners and wider stakeholder community to the first First IDRIC Partner & Stakeholder Forum (IDRIC-1).
We are excited to bring together UK industrial clusters and researchers to discuss research and innovation activities, impact and opportunities to achieve industrial decarbonisation and reach net zero targets
