描述 英国的净零大型项目提供了希望和教训 也许全球经济中没有哪个行业比工业更需要共同努力实现深度脱碳，其中包括化工、钢铁、水泥和铝等能源密集型行业 (1)。然而，长期以来，工业界一直被认为很难脱碳，而且由于担心潜在的失业、国家竞争力和碳泄漏，工业界大多受到强有力的能源和气候政策的保护。工业脱碳场景通常将碳捕获和储存（CCS）以及燃料转换为氢作为潜在的净零选项（2），但这些技术对于个别公司和特定行业来说价格昂贵。当在工业集群中实施时，这些选择会变得更加可行，来自不同行业的工厂都在附近运营。我们在英国净零集群规划、政策实施和技术开发的共同演化方面近期取得的进展中看到了希望和经验教训，世界领先的规划和设计已接近实施阶段。
Description Net-zero megaprojects in the UK offer promise and lessons Perhaps no sector of the global economy is in greater need of concerted efforts toward deep decarbonization than industry, which includes energy-intensive sectors such as chemicals, iron and steel, cement, and aluminum (1). Yet industry has long been perceived as hard to decarbonize and has been mostly sheltered from strong energy and climate policies over concerns about potential job losses, national competitiveness, and carbon leakage. Industrial decarbonization scenarios often identify carbon capture and storage (CCS) and fuel switching to hydrogen as potential net-zero options (2), but these technologies are expensive for individual companies and specific industries. These options can become more feasible when implemented in industrial clusters, where plants from different industries operate in close proximity. We see promise and lessons in recent advancements in the coevolution of net-zero cluster planning, policy implementation, and technical development in the UK, where world-leading plans and designs have progressed close to the implementation stage.
