Prof Mercedes Maroto-Valer, Champion UK Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC)
IDRIC has defined five ways it can help industry to achieve its decarbonisation goals:
- Building a multidisciplinary research and innovation programme, to reduce the costs, risks and timescales of low-carbon technologies, whilst considering policy implications alongside institutional reforms
- Developing greener skill sets, ensuring that those currently working in industry are protected and (re)-trained.
- Creating a new export market from a skilled, knowledgeable workforce alongside technology, business models, and policy before that of other industrial economies
- Facilitating a holistic understanding of the challenges in the large industrial clusters, and the overarching solutions.
- Enabling a just transition. This process will only succeed and, most importantly, safeguard local economies if it is delivered in partnership with those communities.
