Industry Groups Call for UK Government Action on Decarbonisation

The Carbon Capture and Storage Association, Hydrogen UK, and Electrify Industry request the UK government to establish clear policies and investment signals for industrial decarbonisation. They emphasize the importance of reducing electricity costs, accelerating technologies like hydrogen and carbon capture, and streamlining regulatory processes to maintain jobs and energy security.

The ongoing delays in the Hydrogen Strategy and high energy costs are concerns that could lead to increased reliance on imports and diminished domestic industrial capability. The groups demand government intervention to unlock investment and establish a robust pipeline of decarbonisation projects to support the UK economy's long-term stability. Without decisive action, the UK risks further industrial decline, impacting sectors vital for infrastructure and national security.
