Between 2021 and 2025, IDRIC delivered a portfolio of 100 research projects and industry secondments, in collaboration with 46 research institutions and a wide range of industrial partners.

Here we share a suite of case studies demonstrating the real-world impact of our projects and secondments.

These case studies highlight how partner-led multidisciplinary research is helping accelerate industrial decarbonisation across the UK’s major industrial regions. They illustrate how technological innovation, social and economic research, evidence-based tools and collaboration can drive tangible progress toward net zero, with impacts across policymaking, industry, and civil society.
