Green innovation is about change now, for a better tomorrow.
Our action plan for UK government:
Transform the national grid
The government should ensure there is sufficient network capacity and flexibility to deliver energy needs fit for Net Zero. Grid transmission must be dramatically upgraded and increased as proposed by the Electricity Networks Commissioner, and the distribution network should be modernised to facilitate recharging for electric vehicle charging and distributed renewable generation.
Outline plans for future energies
The government should set out a strategy for the role of hydrogen in the UK’s energy future, and provide a clear, long-term plan that sets out how it will meet its ambitions for nuclear generation, and create an enabling environment to speed up the roll out of renewable energy from all sources.
Set out additional policies to foster green innovation
The USA and the EU have both developed ambitious policy proposals to incentivise low carbon industrial innovation. In response, the UK should ensure sufficient access to key components such as semiconductors and batteries; and take the steps on planning rules, skills policies, and fiscal incentives described in this document which will help to boost low carbon technology developments.
The government should also set out ambitious and deliverable plans to decarbonise across the UK economy. These should include the introduction of a mandate for Sustainable Aviation Fuel as committed to in the Jet Zero Strategy, and a balanced approach to the Clean Heat Market Mechanism developed in partnership with UK-based manufacturers.
Delivery of these policies can be achieved by high-tech industry clusters across the UK. Chambers have experience in setting up innovation hubs and can advise, support, and deliver this approach.
