West of England Industrial Cluster Local Industrial Decarbonisation Plan

英格兰西部工业集群（WC）工业脱碳计划（WCIDP）将为英格兰西部的工业脱碳制定一项综合战略。该集群集中在波特伯里，埃文茅斯，塞文赛德和布里斯托港周围的主要工业活动中心。该中心的“辐条”跨越了邻近地区的分散工业排放源，包括斯温登、威尔特郡、格洛斯特郡和萨默塞特，共同代表了包括水泥、化工、制造、食品生产、废物、回收和电力在内的不同行业。该项目包括7 CO2的碳捕集和航运中心，这将是英国第一个分散的CCS中心，和布里斯托城市飞跃，支持布里斯托的脱碳，通过20年的特许经营权，由Ameresco和供热网络合作伙伴Vattenfall。这是世界上第一个在前五年承诺超过4亿英镑的项目，并通过特许权刺激超过10亿英镑的外来投资，展示了该地区应对气候变化和大规模脱碳的雄心。该地区的团体正在开发重大项目，包括可再生能源，能源储存，氢气，生物燃料和CCUS，具有在脱碳领域引领新兴国家产业的潜力。该地区从废物处理厂的几种能源中获得大规模生物排放的特殊机会将通过可持续航空燃料和电子甲醇的碳中和生产来利用。至关重要的是，LIDP资金将使WCIDP能够：\* 制定一个具有明确基准和目标的连贯、全面的脱碳战略\* 确定并连接现有项目和计划，共享脱碳基础设施，加快新发展的机会\* 团结公共和私营部门利益相关者，确保社会，脱碳的经济和环境效益得到充分实现成熟的行业/利益相关者团体，包括SevernNet，Hydrogen South West和Western Gateway，已经与地方当局，排放者，技术提供商，网络运营商和政府就潜在的工业脱碳项目进行了合作。通过LIDP资金的支持，现有的强有力的公私合作将使该地区能够确定解决方案，建立商业模式，获得资金并以不相称的速度实现脱碳。凭借领先的当地大学和充满活力的劳动力，我们的集群有潜力成为新技术的国家技能和卓越中心;知识和专业知识的集中，以支持可扩展的尖端产业的发展。作为一个新的团队在一个大的分散地区工作，集群将嵌入多样性，气候适应能力，从第一天起，循环和自然的积极考虑，成为全国学习的灯塔。

The West of England Industrial Cluster (WC) Industrial Decarbonisation Plan (WCIDP) will create a comprehensive strategy to decarbonise industry in the West of England.The cluster centres on a hub of major industrial activity around Portbury, Avonmouth, Severnside, and the Port of Bristol. The 'spokes' of the hub span dispersed industrial emitters across neighbouring areas including Swindon, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset and together represent diverse industries including cement, chemicals, manufacturing, food production, waste, recycling and power.The project encompasses 7CO2's carbon capture and shipping hub which will be the first dispersed CCS hub in the UK, and Bristol City Leap which supports Bristol's decarbonisation through a 20 year concession by Ameresco and heat network partner Vattenfall. This is a world-first project with over £400 million committed in the first five years and stimulating over £1billion inward investment over the concession demonstrating the area's ambition to address climate change and decarbonise at scale.Major projects are being developed by groups across the region, including renewables, energy storage, hydrogen, biofuels and CCUS, with the potential to spearhead emerging national industries in the field of decarbonisation. The region's exceptional access to biogenic emissions at scale from several energy from waste plants will be harnessed by the carbon-neutral production of sustainable aviation fuel and e-methanol.Critically, LIDP funding will allow WCIDP to:\*Create a coherent, overarching decarbonisation strategy with a clear baseline and targets\*Identify and connect existing projects and initiatives, sharing decarbonisation infrastructure and accelerating opportunities for new developments\*Unite public and private sector stakeholders ensuring the social, economic and environmental benefits of decarbonisation are fully realisedEstablished industry/stakeholder groups including SevernNet, Hydrogen South West and the Western Gateway are already engaged with Local Authorities, emitters, technology providers, network operators and Government on potential industrial decarbonisation projects. Strong existing public-private collaboration, enhanced through LIDP funding will enable the region to identify solutions, establish business models, source funding and achieve decarbonisation disproportionately quickly.With leading local universities and a vibrant workforce, our cluster has the potential to be a national centre of skills and excellence for new technologies; a concentration of knowledge and expertise to support development of scalable cutting-edge industries.As a new team working across a large dispersed area, the cluster will embed diversity, climate resilience, circularity and nature positive considerations from day one, becoming a beacon of learning across the country.
