IDRIC collaborates with research organisations, industry, government, policymakers, NGOs, trade organisations and the public to decarbonise UK industrial heartlands.
IDRIC works closely with the UK’s major industrial clusters to address the challenges of industrial decarbonisation.
Industry is extremely important to the UK economy. Energy-intensive industries such as metals and minerals, chemicals, food and drink, paper and pulp, ceramics, glass, oil refineries and less energy-intensive manufacturing account for around one sixth of UK CO₂ emissions.
The industrial products produced in these sectors are integral to everyday life. The industries producing them utilise high end technology and employ highly skilled workers to make products that are traded internationally.
Much of UK industry takes place in clusters which are characterised by a concentration of related industries, or several industrial sites grouped within proximity to one another.
IDRIC is actively engaging with 7 industrial clusters to support decarbonisation:
